Release of Liability
Release from Dealings between Subscribers and/or Users. Because authentication on the Internet is difficult, Nat Wallen Real Estate cannot and does not confirm that each Subscriber or User, is who she, he, or it claims to be or that her, his or its Subscriber Content or other posted information is truthful, complete, non-defamatory, or accurate. You acknowledge and agree that your access to or use of NatWallen.com and the Services, and any action you take concerning your Subscriber Content or other information is your voluntary action for which you are exclusively responsible. There is always a certain risk when transmitting such information over the Internet or some other public or proprietary network, and you assume such risk by submitting Subscriber Content or information to NatWallen.com and by making or authorizing transmission of such Subscriber Content or information to others. It is your responsibility to take precautions that you deem suitable to assure the identity of any Subscriber, User or person with whom you communicate or interact, and to assure that any information provided by such Subscriber, User, or person on which you intend to rely is reasonably accurate and complete. Nat Wallen Real Estate does not and cannot be involved in or control the dealings or meetings between Subscribers or Users that access NatWallen.com. Accordingly, in the event that you have a dispute with another Subscriber or User, you agree to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law to forever release Nat Wallen Real Estate and its agents, employees, officers, directors, members and managers from all claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential, direct and indirect) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes. If you are a California resident, you waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, California Civil Code §1542, which says: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.” Nat Wallen Real Estate is under no legal obligation to, and generally does not control the information provided by other Subscribers or Users and which is made available through NatWallen.com. By its very nature, information posted or communicated by other Subscribers or Users may be offensive, harmful, inaccurate, defamatory or incorrect, and in some cases may be mislabeled or deceptively labeled. You agree to use caution and common sense when using or accessing the Services.
Not Responsible For Offensive Posts. NatWallen.com acts as a passive conduit for the online receipt, distribution and publication of Subscriber Content or other information submitted by and between or among Subscribers or Users. Nat Wallen Real Estate has no obligation to screen or monitor communications or information in advance and is not responsible for screening or monitoring Subscriber Content or information posted by Subscribers or Users. If Nat Wallen Real Estate is notified or otherwise becomes aware of any communication, information or Subscriber Content that is posted by a Subscriber or User, which allegedly does not conform to these Terms of Use or are abusive, illegal, or disruptive, Nat Wallen Real Estate may investigate the allegation and determine in good faith and in its sole discretion whether to remove or request the removal of the communications, information, Site Content, or Subscriber Content (“Offensive Post”), suspend such Subscriber’s or User’s use of or access to the Site and/or the Services. Nat Wallen Real Estate reserves the right to expel and/or deny access to Subscribers or Users to prevent their further access to the Site and/or the Services for violating the Agreement or any applicable laws. Nat Wallen Real Estate further reserves the right to remove, erase or over-write Offensive Posts or any information or content in connection therewith. Nat Wallen Real Estate may take any action at any time with respect to Subscriber- or User-submitted information or Subscriber Content that it deems necessary or appropriate if, in its sole discretion, it believes it may create liability for Nat Wallen Real Estate, harm any other Subscriber or User or may cause Nat Wallen Real Estate to lose (in whole or in part) the services of its Internet Service Providers, Application Service Providers, or other suppliers.

Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential or certain other damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. In no event shall Nat Wallen Real Estate total liability to you for all damages, losses, or causes of action exceed the amount, if any, that you paid to Nat Wallen Real Estate over the twelve months immediately preceding the date of the claim of liability, or fifty dollars, whichever is greater.
