Terms And Conditions Of Website Use

Effective Date: 05/02/2014

The material provided on the BHTP.com website, including the information and any images incorporated in the site, is for your personal private non-commercial use only. You may not modify, republish, post or transmit anything you obtain from this website, including anything you download from the site, unless you first obtain our consent. You agree not to engage in systematic retrieval of data or other content from BHTP.com. We request that you not create any kind of hyperlink from any other site to ours unless you first obtain our permission.

Due to possible linguistic differences, advertising statements in Spanish may not necessarily reflect the content of the policy written in English. In the event of a dispute concerning policy terms, the policy written in English will apply.

It is very important that you read the next two sections carefully.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

BHTP will not be responsible for any damages or injuries that accompany or result from your use of its sites. These include (but are not limited to) damages or injury caused by any: (1) use of (or inability to use) the sites; (2) use of (or inability to use) any site to which you hyperlink from its websites; (3) failure of performance; (4) error; (5) omission; (6) interruption; (7) defect; (8) delay in operation or transmission; (9) computer virus; or (10) line failure. We are not liable for any consequential or incidental damages, which are damages intended to compensate someone directly for a loss or injury, damages reasonably expected to result from a loss or injury, or other miscellaneous damages and expenses resulting directly from a loss or injury. Furthermore, except as provided below, we are not liable even if we have been negligent or if our authorized representative has been advised of the possibility of such damages—or both. However, in certain states where the law may not allow us to limit or exclude liability for these incidental or consequential damages, the above limitation may not apply and you may have the right to recover these types of damages. In any event, our liability to you for all losses, damages, injuries and claims of any kind, whether the damages are claimed under the terms of a contract, or they are claimed to be caused by negligence or other wrongful conduct or any other legal theory, will not be greater than the amount you have paid to access our sites.

By providing material on our website BHTP does not in any way promise that the materials will remain available to you or that you will qualify for the products we offer. BHTP is entitled to terminate all or part of any of its Websites at any time, without notice to you.

BHTP is authorized to act on instructions received under your password without any requirement to question those instructions;

BHTP is not liable for any unauthorized access to your personal information that is not directly due to the negligence of BHTP;

Your password contains sensitive information and you will keep it confidential and secret;

You will notify BHTP immediately if you believe anyone else has learned your password or if you believe an unauthorized access to BHTP or your personal information has occurred or may occur;

BHTP may deny access or block any transaction made under your password without prior notice if we believe your password is being used by someone other than you, or if any unauthorized access to your personal information has occurred or may occur, or for any other reason, but we are under no obligation to do so.

Violating the Terms and Conditions of Website Use may lead to a revocation of BHTP website access privileges.
