Third Party Sites.
Acheron has no control over, and no liability for any third-party websites, services or materials. Acheron works with a number of partners and third parties whose Internet sites may be linked with the Site or the Services. Because Acheron does not have control over the content and performance of these partner and third party sites and services, Acheron makes no guarantees about the accuracy, currency, content, or quality of the information provided by such sites or services, and we assumes no responsibility for unintended, objectionable, inaccurate, misleading, or unlawful content that may reside on those sites or services. These unaffiliated partner and third party sites and services, and all sites and services besides this Site and our Services, have separate terms and conditions and privacy policies separate from Acheron’s Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy. It is your responsibility to review each site’s and service’s terms and conditions and privacy policy.
Similarly, from time to time in connection with your use of the Services, you may have access to content items (including, but not limited to, websites) that are owned by third parties.

To the full extent permissible by applicable law, Acheron disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including, but not limited to, implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose.

This limitation shall apply regardless of whether the damages arise out of breach of contract, tort, or any other legal theory or form of action.
Exclusions and Limitations.
Those who access or use the Services from other jurisdictions do so at their own volition and are responsible for compliance with local law. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages. Accordingly, in certain jurisdictions, some of the above limitations of liability may not apply to you; all other provisions of these Terms and Conditions remain in full force and effect.
Indemnification.
You agree to indemnify, hold harmless and, upon request, defend, Acheron their respective directors, officers, employees, and agents from and against all claims and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, arising out of or relating to your access to, browsing or use of the Services, content you transmit to or through the Services, your violation of any rights of another, or your breach of these Terms and Conditions. Acheron reserves the right, at its own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you at your expense, and you shall not in any event settle or otherwise dispose of any matter without the prior written consent of Acheron.
Arbitration.
Applicability to Services.
These Terms and Conditions (including the Privacy Policy) sets forth the entire understanding and agreement between you and Acheron with respect to the Services. With respect to any Services other than the Site, these Terms and Conditions (including the Privacy Policy) apply to your access and use of the Services; provided, however, that in the event any terms of any other agreement between you and us conflicts with these Terms and Conditions, those terms will prevail over the conflicting terms in these Terms and Conditions.
Statute of Limitations.
You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to the use of the Services and/or these Terms and Conditions must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred.
General.
If any provision or provisions of these Terms and Conditions shall be held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not be in any way affected thereby.
