(Our Privacy Policy). You must disclose certain Personally Identifiable
Information to use our Site, register, and make purchases. As a condition of

services or conduct any transactions, you represent that you have first read
our Privacy Policy and consent to the collection, use and disclosure of your
Personally Identifiable Information and Non-Personally Identifiable

THEORIES OF LIABILITY, AND ALSO REGARDLESS OF WHETHER Brushstrokes WAS GIVEN
ACTUAL OR CONSTRUCTIVE NOTICE THAT DAMAGES WERE POSSIBLE.

6. Methods of Payment, Credit Card Terms and Taxes. Your card
issuer agreement governs your use of your designated card, and you must refer

liabilities as a cardholder. YOU, AND NOT BRUSHSTROKES, ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR
PAYING ANY UNAUTHORIZED AMOUNTS BILLED TO YOUR CREDIT CARD BY A THIRD PARTY.
You agree to pay all fees and charges incurred in connection with your
purchases (including any applicable taxes) at the rates in effect when the
charges were incurred. Unless you notify Brushstrokes of any discrepancies
within sixty (60) days after they first appear on your credit card statement,
you agree that they will be deemed accepted by you for all purposes. If
Brushstrokes does not receive payment from your credit card issuer or its
agent, you agree to pay all amounts due upon demand by Brushstrokes or its
agents. You are responsible for paying any governmental taxes imposed on your
purchases, including, but not limited to, sales, use or value-added taxes.
Brushstrokes shall automatically charge and withhold the applicable sales tax
for orders to be delivered to addresses within Georgia and any other states or
localities that it deems is required.
7. Order Acceptance Policy. Your receipt of an electronic or other
form of order confirmation does not signify our acceptance of your order, nor
does it constitute confirmation of our offer to sell. Brushstrokes reserves
the right at any time after receipt of your order to accept or decline your
order for any reason. Brushstrokes further reserves the right any time after
receipt of your order, without prior notice to you, to supply less than the
quantity you ordered of any item. All items listed for sale on the Site are
subject to prior sale and quantities on hand. Some items may not be available
at the time you place your order. In the event that an item is out-of-stock,
or is on "pre-order," Brushstrokes will backorder the product on your behalf
and ship it to you when we receive
it. In the event that the product is no longer available, will will cancel that portion of your order.
Payment in-full is required for all orders prior to shipping. Your order will
be deemed accepted by Brushstrokes upon our delivery of products or services
that you have ordered. All orders placed over $1000.00 (U.S.) must obtain
pre-approval with an acceptable method of payment, as established by our
credit and fraud avoidance department. We may require additional verifications
or information before accepting any order. Brushstrokes is a reseller to end
users and does not accept orders from resellers, exporters, wholesalers, any
businesses of any kind or other customers who intend to resell.
8. No Responsibility To Sell Mispriced Products Or Services.
Brushstrokes shall have the right to refuse or cancel any orders placed for
products and/or services listed at an incorrect price, rebate or refund, or
containing any other incorrect information or typographical errors.
Brushstrokes shall have the right to refuse or cancel any such orders whether
or not the order has been confirmed and your credit card charged. If your
credit card has already been charged for the purchase and your order is
canceled, Brushstrokes shall immediately issue a credit to your credit card
account in the amount of the charge.

THE RIGHT, AT ANY TIME, TO CHANGE ITS PRICES AND BILLING METHODS FOR PRODUCTS
OR SERVICES SOLD, EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY UPON POSTING ON THE SITE OR BY E-MAIL
DELIVERY TO YOU.

service and support should be made directly to the manufacturer in accordance
with their terms and conditions.

Brushstrokes, Inc., its subsidiaries, affiliates, service providers, other End
Users, distributors, licensors, officers, directors and employees from any
claim or demand, including reasonable attorneys' fees, made by any third party
arising out of or related to your violation of this Terms of Use, or your
violation of any law, regulation or third-party right.

13. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. THE ENTIRE RISK ARISING OUT OF THE USE
OF THE SITE, THE USE OF ANY PRODUCTS AND/OR SERVICES OFFERED ON OR IN
CONNECTION WITH THE SITE, AND/OR THE USE OF ANY CONTENT REMAINS WITH YOU. IN
NO EVENT SHALL BRUSHSTROKES OR ITS LICENSORS OR ANY OF THEIR OFFICERS,
DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR AFFILIATES BE LIABLE FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL,
INCIDENTAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, OR OTHER DAMAGES WHATSOEVER
(INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF BUSINESS PROFITS, BUSINESS

POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING ELSE IN THIS TERMS OF
USE OR POSTED ON THE SITE, THE MAXIMUM LIABILITY THAT BRUSHSTROKES SHALL HAVE
IS LIMITED TO ANY AMOUNTS ACTUALLY PAID TO BRUSHSTROKES BY END USER. YOU
ASSUME ALL RISK OF LOSS FOR SHIPPED PRODUCTS. ORDER INFORMATION SUCH AS
BILLING OR SHIPPING ADDRESS THAT IS INACCURATE OR INCOMPLETE MAY RESULT IN
DELAYS THAT SHALL NOT BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF BRUSHSTROKES. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE
AND AGREE THAT THE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY, DISCLAIMERS OF WARRANTIES AND
LIMITED REMEDIES SET FORTH HEREIN REPRESENT AN INSEPARABLE ALLOCATION OF RISK
(INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, IN THE EVENT OF A TOTAL AND FUNDAMENTAL BREACH
OF THIS TERMS OF USE) THAT IS AN ESSENTIAL BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN THE
PARTIES.
14. Policy to Terminate Privileges for Copyright Infringement.
Pursuant to 17 U.S.C. § 512 as amended by Title II of the Digital Millennium
Copyright Act (the "Act"), Brushstrokes Inc. will terminate the account of any
customer, or vendor who uses his or her privileges to unlawfully transmit
copyrighted material without a license, valid defense or fair use privilege to
do so. After proper notification by the copyright holder or its agent to the
Brushstrokes and later confirmation through court order or an admission by the
customer that an account has been an instrument of unlawful infringement,
Brushstrokes will terminate the infringing customer's account. Brushstrokes
may also in its sole discretion decide to terminate a customer's account
privileges prior to that time if it has good belief that infringement has in
fact occurred. In addition, pursuant to 17 U.S.C. § 512(c), Brushstrokes has
implemented procedures for receiving written notification of claimed
infringements and for processing such claims in accordance with the Act.
Brushstrokes respects the intellectual property of others and we ask other to
do the same. If you believe that your copyright has been infringed through the
Brushstrokes.us website, please contact "Legal Department", via facsimile at
(404) 303-7255, or mail at:
Attn: Legal Department, Brushstrokes Inc., 1510-J Piedmont Ave, NE
Atlanta, GA 30324
Any written notice describing the infringing activity must include the
following information:
- An electronic or physical signature of the person authorized to act on
behalf of the owner of an exclusive that is allegedly infringed;
- A description of the allegedly infringing work or material;
- A description of where the allegedly infringing material is located on
the site;
- Information reasonably sufficient to allow us to contact you, such as
your address, telephone number and e-mail address;
- A statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the disputed
use of the material is not authorized by the copyright or other
proprietary right owner, its agent, or the law; and
- A statement by you that the above information and notification is
accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner
or authorized to act on behalf of the owner whose exclusive right is
allegedly infringed.
17. General. No delay or failure to take action under this Terms
of Use shall constitute any waiver by Brushstrokes of any provision of this
Terms of Use. If any provision of this Terms of Use is invalid or
unenforceable under applicable law, it is, to that extent, deemed
enforceable to the fullest extent possible (and severable in the event such
provision is completely unenforceable) and the remaining provisions of this
Terms of Use will continue in full force and effect. This Terms of Use will
bind and inure to the benefit of Brushstrokes's permitted successors and
assigns. Any claim under these Terms of Use must be brought within one (1)
year after the cause of action arises. This Terms of Use shall be governed
by the laws of the State of California without regard to or application of
any conflict of laws provisions. You consent to the exclusive jurisdiction
of the state and federal courts sitting in Fulton County, in the State of
Georgia. This Terms of Use is personal to you and may not be transferred,
assigned or delegated to anyone. Any attempt by you to assign, transfer or
delegate this Terms of Use shall be null and void. Brushstrokes may freely
assign this Terms of Use without consent or notice. This Terms of Use
(including all documents expressly incorporated herein by reference,
including but not limited, to the relevant Usage Rules) constitutes the
complete and exclusive agreement between Brushstrokes and you with respect
to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior oral or written
understandings, communications or agreements not specifically incorporated
