7. Disclaimers

Your use of the Services is at your sole risk. The Services are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Eyetech expressly disclaims all warranties, conditions and other terms of any kind, whether express or implied, including, but not limited to any implied term of merchantability, satisfactory quality, fitness for a particular purpose, and any term as to the provision of Services to a standard of reasonable care and skill or as to non-infringement of any intellectual property right.

No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained by you from Eyetech or through or from the Services shall create any warranty or other obligation not expressly stated in the Conditions.

8. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws, and except in respect of death or personal injury arising from Eyetech's negligence, Eyetech hereby excludes liability for any claims, loss, demands, or damages of any kind whatsoever with respect to the Services, and any information, content, advertisements, or products provided or distributed through the Services including, without limitation, direct, indirect, incidental or consequential loss, or otherwise and whether or not the possibility of such loss has been notified to Eyetech. The foregoing will apply whether such claims, loss, or damages arise in tort, contract, negligence, under statute, or otherwise. If you are a consumer your statutory rights, if any, are not affected.

9. Exclusions and Limitations

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages. Accordingly, some of the above limitations of paragraph 8 and 9 above may not apply to you.

The Conditions and the relationship between you and Eyetech shall be governed by the laws of New York. You and Eyetech agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the New York courts.

Any failure by Eyetech to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the Conditions shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of the Conditions 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 the other provisions of the Conditions remain in full force and effect.
