BIS does not make any express or implied warranties about the software, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. The software is made available to you "as is" and "as available" and BIS does not warrant that any defects or inaccuracies will be corrected. BIS does not warrant that the software will meet your needs, or that your use will be uninterrupted, timely, secure or error-free.

BIS and its third-party content providers, third party licensors and any affiliates thereof do not make any express or implied warranties regarding the accuracy or timeliness of any and all information provided via the software.

BIS is not responsible for any third-party software and will have no liability of any kind for losses resulting from your use of such third-party software with BIS 's software.
