The Company's Copyright Agent for notice of claims of copyright infringement on the Web Site can be reached as follows:
Section 6. Links to Other Sites. The Web Site contains links to third party web sites that are maintained by others. These links are provided solely as a convenience to you and not as an endorsement by the Company of the contents on such third-party Web sites. The Company is not responsible for the content of linked third-party sites and does not make any representations regarding the content or accuracy of materials on such third-party Web sites.

You are responsible for compliance with the laws of your local jurisdiction regarding the import, export, or re-export of the Product. Section 9. Password Abuse. Understand the relative ease involved in cracking a password. Recognize, too, the necessity of inconvenience when passwords are involved, such as when you have to enter passwords with weird characters with those very long and awkward keystroke combinations. We only give member account passwords to the e-mail address that a given member account is registered to. To prevent access to your FreeSpeechStore.com account by anyone who should not have access, never give your password out to anyone, and always log out when working at a public computer. If someone claims to represent FreeSpeechStore.com in an e-mail or a forum and asks for your FreeSpeechStore.com password, do not honor the request. We never ask for passwords, except on our site in the places you need to access our system. When logging into FreeSpeechStore.com, we log in your IP Address, along with all electronic fingerprints in order to assess password abuse. If your password is attempting to be used by two (2) different log-ins or IP Addresses simultaneously, access will be denied to any more than one IP Address and/or logged in user. If your password has an unusual and/or significant amount of usage with multiple IP addresses and/or electronic fingerprints, your account will be closed for password abuse. The sharing of passwords is a blatant abuse of this policy and will subject all abusers to immediate account closure. The Company may, at its sole discretion, close all accounts with no refunds which are deemed to be in violation of this policy. Section 10. General. The Company makes no claims that the Materials are appropriate for any particular purpose or audience, or that they may be downloaded outside of the United States. Access to the Materials (including Software) may not be legal by certain persons or in certain countries. If you access the Web Site from outside of the United States, you are responsible for compliance with the laws of your jurisdiction. This Company is headquartered in San Antonio, Texas. All legal issues arising from or related to the use of the Web Site shall be construed in accordance with and determined by the laws of the State of Texas.

You hereby accept and submit to the jurisdiction of such court in any such proceeding or action, and irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which you may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such action or proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such action or proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. If any provision of this Agreement is found to be invalid by any court having competent jurisdiction, the invalidity of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect. No waiver of any term of this Agreement shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term.
