THE SITE IS PROVIDED “AS IS.” KING AND ITS MEMBERS, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, AFFILIATES, AND AGENTS MAKE NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY WHATSOEVER RELATING TO THE SITE, LINKED SITES, MATERIALS, OR OTHER CONTENT THAT MAY BE ACCESSIBLE DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY THROUGH THE SITE. KING DISCLAIMS TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW ANY AND ALL SUCH REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.
WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, KING DISCLAIMS TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW ANY AND ALL (A) WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, (B) WARRANTIES AGAINST INFRINGEMENT OF ANY THIRD-PARTY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY OR PROPRIETARY RIGHTS, (C) WARRANTIES RELATING TO THE TRANSMISSION OR DELIVERY OF THE SITE, (D) WARRANTIES RELATING TO THE ACCURACY, RELIABILITY, CORRECTNESS, OR COMPLETENESS OF THE SITE, LINKED SITES, MATERIALS, OR OTHER CONTENT MADE AVAILABLE ON THE SITE OR OTHERWISE BY KING, AND (E) WARRANTIES OTHERWISE RELATING TO PERFORMANCE OR OTHER ACTS OR OMISSIONS BY KING OR ANY THIRD PARTY.

These limitations apply whether the alleged liability is based on contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or any other basis, even if King has been advised of the possibility of such damage. Because some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, King’s liability in such jurisdictions shall be limited to the extent permitted by law.
YOU AGREE TO DEFEND, INDEMNIFY, AND HOLD HARMLESS KING AND THIRD PARTIES WHO CONTRIBUTE TO THE SITE FROM ANY LOSS, DAMAGE, OR COST (INCLUDING ATTORNEYS' FEES) RESULTING FROM YOUR VIOLATION OF THE AGREEMENT.
This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to its principles or rules of conflict of laws to the extent such principles or rules would require or permit the application of the laws of another jurisdiction. Venue shall lie in New York, New York.
Any dispute arising out of or in connection with this Agreement will be referred to final and binding arbitration, to the exclusion of any other court, forum, or jurisdiction. Such arbitration will be conducted under the rules of the American Arbitration Association in effect from time to time. The parties will appoint one arbitrator by mutual agreement. If the parties cannot agree on the appointment of an arbitrator within 30 days after receipt of a demand for arbitration, each party will appoint one arbitrator, and the two party-appointed arbitrators will select a third arbitrator, who will act as Chair. If the party-appointed arbitrators cannot agree on a Chair, the Chair will be appointed by the American Arbitration Association. The parties shall instruct such arbitrators to render a determination within six (6) months after their appointment. The place of arbitration will be New York, New York, and the arbitrator is bound to decide the arbitration in accordance with the substantive laws of New York. There will be no consolidation or joinder of any dispute subject to arbitration hereunder with any arbitration or legal proceeding involving third parties or other disputes between the parties hereto. It is expressly understood and agreed by the parties that the findings of the arbitrator(s) will be conclusive on them and their successors, heirs, and assigns and may be entered as a judgment in a court of record. The arbitrator(s) will have no authority to award punitive or exemplary damages or any other monetary damages not measured by the prevailing party’s actual damages, nor generally to make an award in equity. This section shall not prohibit any party from seeking injunctive relief from a court of competent jurisdiction in the event of a breach or prospective breach of this Agreement by the other party.
King reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to terminate your access to and use of the Site, with or without notice. Otherwise applicable sections of the Agreement shall survive termination.
This Site contains forward-looking statements about King’s financial and operating performance, business plans and prospects, in-line products, and products in development that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from the expectations and projections set forth in those statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, among other things, the uncertainties inherent in pharmaceutical research and development; decisions by regulatory authorities regarding whether and when to approve drug applications and supplemental drug applications, as well as their decisions regarding labeling and other matters that could affect the availability or commercial potential of King products; competitive developments; the ability to successfully market both new and existing products; challenges to the validity and enforcement of King's patents; trends toward managed care and healthcare cost containment; governmental laws and regulations affecting healthcare, including, without limitation, those regarding pharmaceutical product access, pricing, and reimbursement; and general economic conditions, such as interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. A further list and description of these and other risks, uncertainties, and other matters can be found in King's most recent annual report on Form 10-K and subsequent reports on Forms 10-Q and 8-K, all of which are available on this Site and at www.sec.gov.

A printed version of the Agreement and of any notice given in electronic form shall be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to the Agreement to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form. The failure of King to enforce any provisions of the Agreement or respond to a breach by you or other parties shall not in any way waive its right to enforce subsequently any terms or conditions of the Agreement or to act with respect to similar breaches. Unless otherwise specified herein, the Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between you and King and governs your use of the Site. If any provision of this Agreement is declared invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such invalidity, so that the remainder of that provision and all remaining provisions of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect.
