Section 3. Linking to ECS

We grant you a non-assignable, non-transferable, and non-exclusive license to link to any part of  ECS using the Royal name and/or trademarks for the purpose of providing users with access to ECS.  The Royal name and/or trademarks may not be used for any other purpose, including, but not limited to, suggesting affiliation, endorsement, or sponsorship by Royal or its affiliates.  We reserve the right to terminate or alter this license at any time without cause or notice.

You agree not to use ECS in a way that is detrimental to others or their use of ECS, including, but not limited to:

· Placing an unreasonable burden on the processing capacity of ECS.

· Attempting to gain access to restricted data.

· Using an account belonging to someone else.

Section 7.  Login and Password

You are responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your login name and password.  You agree not to give your login name and password to anyone else.  Any transactions performed or information obtained with your login name and password are your responsibility. If you believe your login name and/or password has been improperly disclosed or compromised, you shall report it to Royal immediately. 

You agree that claims, losses, and direct or consequential damages resulting from your carelessness or negligence with respect to your login name and/or password shall be your sole responsibility.

Section 8.  Confidentiality

You agree to take all reasonable steps to protect confidential information concerning Royal's prices or services and to not disclose such confidential information to unauthorized persons.  You also agree and understand that even if all reasonable steps to secure the confidentiality of ECS information and/or your information are followed, there is still a risk that information communicated through ECS could be compromised.  You expressly accept such risks and waive any claim or cause of action for losses or damages which in any way arise out of the unintentional disclosure of your confidential information. 

Royal recognizes the importance of protecting confidential information provided by authorized users of ECS.  However, Royal may disclose information if it believes in good faith that it is necessary to satisfy any law or regulation.

Section 9.  Links and Third Parties

ECS may provide links to third party websites.  You understand that because Royal does not control or operate the products or services provided by these third parties, you agree to hold Royal harmless from and waive any claim or cause of action for losses or damages arising out of any transaction you conduct with such third parties.

Section 10.  Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" BASIS, WITH NO WARRANTIES WHATSOEVER. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ROYAL EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL EXPRESS, IMPLIED AND STATUTORY WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT OF PROPRIETARY RIGHTS. IF YOU ARE DISSATISFIED WITH ECS OR ANY OF THE PROVISIONS IN THESE TERMS OF USE, YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY IS TO DISCONTINUE USING ECS.

Section 11.  Limitation of Liability

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL ROYAL OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES BE HELD LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES OF ANY KIND ARISING FROM USE, INABILITY TO USE, OR UNAUTHORIZED USE OF ECS. THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY SHALL APPLY TO PREVENT RECOVERY OF DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL AND EXEMPLARY DAMAGES (EVEN IF ROYAL HAS BEEN PREVIOUSLY ALERTED TO THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES) ARISING FROM USE OF OR TRANSACTIONS THROUGH ECS, USE OF ANY THIRD PARTY SERVICES OFFERED THROUGH ECS, OR UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO YOUR INFORMATION TRANSMISSIONS. These limitations shall apply notwithstanding any failure of essential purpose of any limited remedy. Because some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations on implied warranties, some of the above limitations may not apply to you.

Section 12.  Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold Royal, its affiliates, its officers, and its employees harmless from any claim, including attorneys' fees, made by any third party arising from your use of ECS, your violation of the Terms of Use, or your violation of any rights of another.

You agree that all legal issues related to your use of ECS will be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without regard to conflicts of law provisions.  If any provision of these Terms of Use is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, it shall have no effect on any other provision of these Terms of Use.

Section 14.  Violations of Terms of Use

If you violate these Terms of Use or any other rights of Royal, we reserve the right to purse any and all legal remedy against you, including, but not limited to, terminating your access to ECS. The failure of Royal to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Use shall not constitute a waiver of that right or provision.

Section 15.  Miscellaneous

These Terms of Use constitute the entire agreement of the parties and supersede any prior agreements on this matter. You cannot assign this agreement. Any cause of action you may have with respect to the use of ECS must be commenced within one (1) year after the claim or cause of action arises.
