This is not a complete list - other things on the system are also KFC'S property. Contact KFC before copying anything from the system with plans of reproducing it or distributing it.

XII. Disclaimer of Warranties and Limitation of Liability.

A. A great danger for KFC, and for all operators of online systems, is that we might be held accountable for the wrongful actions of our Users. If one User libels another User, the injured User might blame us, even though the first User was really at fault. If a User uploads a program with a computer virus, and the other User's computers are damaged, we might be blamed even through a User left the virus on our system. If a User transmits illegal or improper information to another User, we might be blamed even through we did nothing more than unknowingly carry the message from one User to another. Accordingly, we need all Users to accept responsibility for their own acts, and to accept that an act by another User that damages them must not be blamed on us, but only on the other User.

B. Although it is KFC'S goal to provide Users with a reliable, quality system, we may make mistakes or experience system failure from time to time. Such problems are inevitable in operating a system of this size. We would not be able to make this system available to Users if we had to accept blame or financial liability or any usability problems, system failures or errors, or mistakes or damages of any kind, in order to continue offering and improving our Service, KFC must deny any warranties on this Service and insure that our liability for any problems connected with the use of our system is strictly limited.

C. If KFC fails to exercise or enforce any right or provision of this Agreement, that failure shall not be used to prove that KFC has waived the right or provision If any provision of this Agreement is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties' intentions as reflected in the provision, and that the other provisions of the Agreement remain in full force and effect.
