We use reasonable efforts to ensure the availability of the information and content on the Site, including product information and pricing. However, you should note that merchants have the ability to change their pricing or terminate their product availability at anytime. Since the Services are composed of content not offered by us, we do not control (i) the pricing or availability of products, services or promotions provided by the merchant; (ii) the availability or technical capabilities of the merchant websites or links to their websites;(iii) the quality, safety or legality of items, promotions or services available on our Site by the merchant or on merchant websites or sites of third parties not in privity of contract with us, and (iv) the truth or accuracy or legality of the content on our site from such merchants or third parties. We are not liable or responsible for the Services, or for actions you might take in reliance on the Services.

If applicable, you waive California Civil Code section 1542, which says:
