5. TSC Connects Customers and Merchant Companies:
TSC’s mWIRE product is a communications medium by which consumers interested in receiving information for products or services can identify and be connected to merchants who may be able to respond with such information. We are not involved in the actual transaction between the consumer and merchant. As a result, we do not have control over the quality, timing, safety or legality of any product or service actually purchased subsequent to a request. We do not and cannot control whether or not merchants submit information as requested, represent their products or services accurately or fulfill any agreement or obligation they may subsequently establish with or promise to the consumer. We encourage consumers to communicate directly with merchants or with third parties, such as the Better Business Bureau, to a degree sufficient to establish the reliability of the merchant. Merchant will at no time represent that TSC endorses a merchant or its services. Any disputes between merchant and consumer are to be handled by the merchant. Merchant is solely responsible for any product exchanges, payments or returned merchandise.

MERCHANTS ARE NOT PERMITTED TO USE CUSTOMER CONTACT INFORMATION FOR FURTHER MARKETING ACTIVITIES, NOR ARE THEY PERMITTED TO RESELL, RENT OR DISTRIBUTE THAT CONTACT INFORMATION TO ANY THIRD PARTY, WITHOUT THE CUSTOMER'S PERMISSION IN WRITING. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THIS AGREEMENT WILL LEAD TO REMOVAL FROM THE TSC mWIRE MERCHANT NETWORK.

If you are a California resident, you waive 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."
