This Agreement and all other agreements that you or any persons you represent have with MRIC or Affiliates and Providers (now or in the future) together constitute the entire agreement regarding your access to and use of the Web Site, and supersede all previous agreements (written, oral or otherwise) regarding your access to and use of the Web Site. In the event of any inconsistency or conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of any other agreement that you or any persons you represent have with MRIC or Affiliates and Providers (now or in the future), the provisions of this Agreement shall govern regarding your access to and use of the Web Site.

As between you and MRIC, the provisions of this Agreement under the section headed Disclaimer, Liability Exclusion, Liability Limitation, Release and Indemnity apply, with all necessary modifications, to your dealings with any Affiliates and Providers and use of their web sites.
By activating certain links, including order-related links, you may be automatically connected with web sites operated by Affiliates and Providers.
