1. Eligibility

In order to use the Service, you must register, and pay for, for an annual membership account. Users may only hold one single account. Our Services are only available to individuals or businesses that can form legally binding contracts under applicable law. Without limiting the foregoing, our Service is not available to minors, persons who are suspended from our Service, or to persons who present an unacceptable level of credit risk.

2. The Legal Relationship between You and Diecast Registry™

2.1 Appointed Agent. Diecast Registry™ acts as a facilitator to help you share and exchange information about your diecast cars with third parties. We act as your agent based upon your direction and your requests to use our Services that require us to perform tasks on your behalf.

By initiating and posting information through the Service, you appoint Diecast Registry™ as your agent to store the given information on your behalf and to provide other Users with that information, subject to the terms and restrictions of this Agreement.

2.2 Internet Service Provider. Diecast Registry™ acts as an Internet service provider by creating, hosting, maintaining and providing our Service to you via the Internet. We do not have any control over the sellers, products, or diecast cars that are advertised for sale with our Service. We cannot ensure that a buyer or a seller you are dealing with will actually complete the transaction. No warranties or guarantees of merchantability are expressed or implied by Diecast Registry™ for products and services advertised for sale by users through our Service. Additionally, we cannot and do not guarantee the accuracy of data represented within the web site. Please contact us immediately if you find erroneous data.

2.3 Identity Authentication. We use many techniques to identify our users when they register on our site. Verification of Users is only an indication of increased likelihood that a User's identity is correct. You authorize Diecast Registry™, directly or through third parties, to make any inquiries we consider necessary to validate your registration. This may include ordering a credit report and performing other credit checks or verifying the information you provide against third party databases. However, because user verification on the Internet is difficult, Diecast Registry™ cannot and does not guarantee any user's identity.

2.4 Release. In the event that you have a dispute with one or more users and/or this Service, you release Collectible Registries, Inc. and Diecast Registry™ (and our owners, officers, directors, agents, subsidiaries, joint ventures and employees) from any and all claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes. If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code 1542, which says: "A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if not known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor."

2.5 No Warranty. WE, OUR PARENT, SUBSIDIARIES, EMPLOYEES AND OUR SUPPLIERS PROVIDE OUR SERVICES "AS IS" AND WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY OR CONDITION, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY. WE, OUR PARENT, SUBSIDIARIES, EMPLOYEES AND OUR SUPPLIERS SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF TITLE, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. Diecast Registry™ shall make reasonable efforts to ensure that requests for information are processed in a timely manner and but we make no representations or warranties regarding the accuracy of the data within our Site because our Service is largely dependant upon many factors outside of our control. Some states do not allow the disclaimer of implied warranties, so the foregoing disclaimer may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other legal rights that vary from state to state.

2.6 Limit of Liability. IN NO EVENT SHALL WE, OUR PARENT, SUBSIDIARIES, EMPLOYEES OR OUR SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE FOR LOST PROFITS OR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH OUR WEB SITE, OUR SERVICE, OR THIS AGREEMENT (HOWEVER ARISING, INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE).

OUR LIABILITY, AND THE LIABILITY OF OUR PARENT, SUBSIDIARIES, EMPLOYEES AND SUPPLIERS, TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTIES IN ANY CIRCUMSTANCE IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT OF FEES YOU PAY TO US IN THE 6 MONTHS PRIOR TO THE ACTION GIVING RISE TO THE LIABILITY, AND (B) $10. Some states do not allow the exclusion of limitation of incidental or consequential damages so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.

2.7 Indemnification. You agree to indemnify and hold Diecast Registry™, its parent, subsidiaries, affiliates, owners, officers, directors and employees harmless from any claim or demand (including attorneys' fees) made or incurred by any third party due to or arising out of your breach of this Agreement or the documents it incorporates by reference, or your violation of any law or the rights of a third party relating to your use of the Service.

15. Legal Disputes

In the event a dispute arises between you and Diecast Registry™, our goal is to provide you with a neutral and cost effective means of resolving the dispute quickly. Accordingly, you and Diecast Registry™ agree that any controversy or claim at law or equity that arises out of this Agreement or Diecast Registry's services ("Claims") shall be resolved in accordance with one of the subsections below, or as otherwise mutually agreed upon in writing by the parties. Before resorting to these alternatives, Die Cast Registry™ strongly encourages users first to contact Diecast Registry™ directly to seek a resolution. Diecast Registry™ will consider reasonable requests to resolve the dispute through alternative dispute resolution procedures, such as mediation, as an alternative to litigation.

15.1 Arbitration. For any Claim, Diecast Registry™ may elect to resolve the dispute through binding arbitration conducted by telephone, on-line, and/or based solely upon written submissions where no in-person appearance is required. In such cases, the arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association or JAMS, in accordance with their applicable rules, or any other established ADR provider mutually agreed upon by the parties. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

15.2 Court. Alternatively, any Claim may be adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction located in Kane County, Illinois. You and Diecast Registry™ agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts, chosen by Diecast Registry™, and located within the county of Kane, Illinois.

15.3 Violations of Section 15. All Claims (excluding requests for injunctive or equitable relief) between the parties must be resolved using the dispute resolution mechanism that is selected in accordance with this Section by the party first to assert a Claim, either through a court filing or commencement of arbitration. Should either party file an action contrary to this Section 15, the other party may recover attorneys' fees and costs up to $1000.00, provided that the party seeking the award has notified the other party in writing of the improperly filed Claim, and the other party has failed to withdraw the Claim.

16. General

This Agreement is governed by and interpreted under the laws of the state of Illinois, U.S. as such laws are applied to agreements entered into and to be performed entirely within Illinois by Illinois residents. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Federal Arbitration Act ("FAA"), and all of its rules and procedures, shall govern Section 15 hereof, to the extent that the FAA is inconsistent with Illinois law. We do not guarantee continuous, uninterrupted or secure access to our service, and operation of our site may be interfered with by numerous factors outside of our control. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be struck and the remaining provisions shall be enforced. You agree that this Agreement and all incorporated agreements may be automatically assigned by Die Cast Registry™, in our sole discretion, to a third party in the event of a merger or acquisition. Headings are for reference purposes only and in no way define, limit, construe or describe the scope or extent of such section. Our failure to act with respect to a breach by you or others does not waive our right to act with respect to subsequent or similar breaches. This Agreement and the documents it incorporates set forth the entire understanding between us with respect to the subject matter hereof. Sections, including all subsections, (2) Relationship including 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, and 2.7, (3) Fees, (7) Access and Interference, and (15) Legal Disputes shall survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement.
