Intellectual Property Infringement
The Online Store relies upon a network of independent Associates and vendors
who supply some of the goods advertised on the site and, in some cases, drop
ship them directly to our customers. The Online Store is not liable for any
infringement of copyrights, trademarks, trade dress or other proprietary or
intellectual property rights arising out of Content posted on or transmitted
through the Site, or items advertised on the Site, by its Associates. If you
believe that your rights under United States or international copyright laws
are being violated by any Content posted on or transmitted through the Site,
or items advertised on the Site, please contact us promptly so that we may investigate
the situation and, if appropriate, block or remove the offending Content and/or
advertisements. It is our policy to disable access to infringing materials,
and to terminate access of repeat infringers to the Site. In order for us to
investigate your claim of infringement, you must provide us with the following
information:
1. An electronic or physical signature of the person authorized to act on behalf
of the owner of the copyright or other intellectual property interest;
2. A description of the copyrighted work or other intellectual property that
you believe has been infringed;
3. A description of where the material that you claim is infringing is located
or identified on the Site; Your name, address, telephone number, and e-mail
address;
4. A statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use
is not authorized by the copyright or intellectual property owner, its agent,
or the law; and
5. A statement by you, made under penalty of perjury, that the information submitted
to us is accurate and that you are the owner of the copyright or intellectual
property or authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright or intellectual
property.

Links
We are not responsible for the content of any sites that may be linked to or
from www.TheOnlineStoreInc.com, or any bulletin board associated with The Online
Store. These links are provided for your convenience only and you access them
at your own risk. Any other website accessed from the Site are independent from
The Online Store, and The Online Store has no control over the content of that
other website. In addition, a link to any other web site does not imply that
The Online Store endorses or accepts any responsibility for the content or use
of such other website.
In no event shall any reference to any third party or third party product or
service be construed as an approval or endorsement by The Online Store of that
third party or of any product or service provided by a third party.
Disclaimers and limitations of liability
The Site is provided on an "AS IS," "as available" basis.
Neither The Online Store, nor its affiliates, subsidiaries, or designees, nor
each of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, third-party
content providers, designers, contractors, distributors, merchants, sponsors,
licensors or the like (collectively, "Associates") warrant that use
of the Site will be uninterrupted or error-free. Neither The Online Store, nor
its Associates warrant the accuracy, integrity, or completeness of the Content
provided on the Site or the products or services offered for sale on the Site.
Further, we make no representation that Content provided on the Site is applicable
or appropriate for use in locations outside of the United States. The Online
Store specifically disclaims warranties of any kind, either expressed or implied,
including but not limited to warranties of title or implied warranties of merchantability
or fitness for a particular purpose. No oral advice or written information given
by The Online Store or its Associates shall create a warranty. You expressly
agree that the use of the Site is at your sole risk.
Under no circumstances shall The Online Store or its Associates be liable for
any direct, indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages that result
from the use of or inability to use the Site, including but not limited to reliance
by a user on any information obtained at the Site, or that result from mistakes,
omissions, interruptions, deletion of files or e-mail, errors, defects, viruses,
delays in operation or transmission, or any failure of performance, whether
or not resulting from acts of God, communications failure, theft, destruction
or unauthorized access to The Online Store records, programs or services. The
foregoing limitation of liability shall apply whether in an action of contract,
negligence, or other tortious action, even if an authorized representative of
The Online Store has been advised of or should have knowledge of the possibility
of such damages. You hereby acknowledge that this paragraph shall apply to all
content, merchandise and services available through the Site. Because some states
do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental
damages, in such states liability is limited to the fullest extent permitted
by law.
Prices and availability of products on the Site are subject to change without
notice. Errors will be corrected when discovered, and we reserve the right to
revoke any stated offer and to correct any errors, inaccuracies, or omissions
(including after an order has been submitted).
Although we take steps to ensure the accuracy and completeness of product and
third-party services that are posted on the Site, please refer to the manufacturer
or Associates for details.

that would constitute a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability, or otherwise
violate any applicable local, state, national, or international law. If we are
notified of allegedly infringing, defamatory, damaging, illegal, or offensive
Content provided by you (e.g., through an author chat or online review), The
Online Store may investigate the allegation and determine in its sole discretion
whether to remove or request the removal of such Content from the Site. We may
disclose any Content or electronic communication of any kind (i) to satisfy
any law, regulation, or government request; (ii) if such disclosure is necessary
or appropriate to operate The Online Store; or (iii) to protect the rights or
property of The Online Store, its Associates, and you.
We reserve the right to prohibit conduct, communication, or Content that it
deems in its sole discretion to be unlawful or harmful to you, The Online Store,
the communities that make up The Online Store, or any rights of The Online Store
or any third party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither The Online Store
nor its Associates can ensure prompt removal of questionable Content after online
posting. Accordingly, neither The Online Store, nor its affiliates, nor any
of their officers, directors, employees, or agents, nor Associates assumes any
liability for any action or inaction with respect to conduct, communication,
or Content on The Online Store.
Termination of usage

believe is in violation of any applicable law or is harmful to the interests
of another user, Associates, or The Online Store. In addition, we reserve the
right to refuse an order from any customer at our sole discretion.
Usage by children under 18

WITH THE TERMS OF OUR PRIVACY POLICY.

regard to principles of conflict of laws, will govern these Terms and Conditions
and any dispute of any sort that might arise between you and The Online Store
or its affiliates and subsidiaries.
Disputes
Any dispute relating in any way to your visit to the Site or to products you
purchase through the Site shall be submitted to confidential arbitration in
Los Angeles, California, except that, to the extent you have in any manner violated
or threatened to violate The Online Store's intellectual property rights, The
Online Store may seek injunctive or other appropriate relief in any state or
federal court in the State of California, and you consent to exclusive jurisdiction
and venue in such courts. Arbitration under this Agreement shall be conducted
under the rules then prevailing of the American Arbitration Association. The
arbitrator's award shall be binding and may be entered as a judgment in any
court of competent jurisdiction. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable

any other party subject to this Agreement, whether through class arbitration
proceedings or otherwise.
