  • use or misuse of and reliance on the products and services
  • inability to use the products and services, or from the suspension, interruption, or termination of the products and services; including such damages incurred by third parties

Such limitation shall also apply with respect to damage

  • incurred by reason of other services or goods received through or advertised on the products and services
  • through any links provided in the products and services, as well as by reason of any information or advice received through or advertised on the products and services
  • received through any links provided in the products and services

Such limitation shall apply, without limitation, to the costs of procurement of substitute goods or services, lost profits, or lost data. >

Such limitation shall apply with respect to the performance or non-performance of the products and services or any information or merchandise that appears on, or is linked or related in any way to, the vlifestyle network

Such limitation shall apply notwithstanding any failure of essential purpose of any limited remedy. Such limitation shall apply to the fullest extent permitted by law.

In some jurisdictions, limitations of liability are not permitted. In such jurisdictions, the foregoing limitation may not apply to you.

Under no circumstances shall vlifestyle be held liable for any delay or failure in performance resulting directly or indirectly from acts of nature, forces, or causes beyond its reasonable control, including, without limitation, Internet failures, computer equipment failures, telecommunication equipment failures, other equipment failures, electrical power failures, strikes, labor disputes, riots, insurrections, civil disturbances, shortages of labor or materials, fires, flood, storms, explosions, acts of God, war, governmental actions, orders of domestic or foreign courts or tribunals, non-performance of third parties, or loss of or fluctuations in heat, light, or air conditioning.

The sites displayed as search results, otherwise linked to the vlifestyle web sites, or operated or provided to the vlifestyle by third parties are developed by people over whom vlifestyle exercises no control. The search results that appear from the catalogs indexed by vlifestyle spiders or web robots are automated, and vlifestyle cannot and does not screen the sites before including them in the catalogs from which such automated search results are gathered.

Accordingly, vlifestyle assumes no responsibility for the content of any site included in any search results or otherwise linked to the vlifestyle web sites. In instances where vlifestyle does review the sites that are displayed in directories, indices, and/or references, or where vlifestyle makes available directories, indices, and/or references of sites compiled by third parties, the content located at such sites was developed third parties.

vlifestyle occasionally receives requests from people to remove links from its catalogs. Although vlifestyle reserves the right to address such requests individually, the general approach that vlifestyle takes reflects the following:

  • vlifestyle's catalogs consist of information that has been identified, indexed and compiled through an automated process with no advance review by human beings
  • given the enormous volume of web site information added, deleted and changed on a frequent basis, vlifestyle cannot and does not screen anything made available through its catalogs
  • in some instances, vlifestyle makes available directories, indices and references consisting of content that has been identified, indexed and compiled by humans

For each web site reflected in vlifestyle's catalogs, if either
a) a site owner restricts access to his or her web site, or
b) a site is taken down from the web, then, upon receipt of a request by the site owner in the first instance and either the site owner, or a third party in the second instance,
vlifestyle would remove the link to that site from its catalogs.

However, if the operator of the site does not take steps to prevent it, the automatic facilities used to create the catalogs are likely to find it and index it again in a relatively short amount of time.

9) Changes

vlifestyle reserves the right to modify the products and services from time to time, for any reason, and without notice, including the right to terminate the products and services.

vlifestyle reserves the right to modify these terms and conditions from time to time, without notice. Please review these terms and conditions from time to time so you will be apprised of any changes.
