10.            E-Commerce Transactions on the Site.  During your visit to the Site you may elect to engage in a transaction involving the purchase of a product or service such as a subscription, an advertisement or other tangible goods and services.  To serve you most efficiently, credit card transactions and order fulfillment may be handled by a third party processing agent, bank or distribution institution.  While in most cases transactions are completed without difficulty, there is no such thing as “perfect security” on the Internet or otherwise.  If you’re concerned about online credit card safety, in most cases a telephone number will be made available so you can call us and place your order by phone.  The Site cannot take responsibility for the success or security of transactions undertaken or processed by third parties.  On occasion, a product or service may not be available at the time or the price as it appears in an advertisement.  In such event, or in the event a product is listed at an incorrect price or with incorrect information due to typographical error, technology error, error in the date or length of publication, or error in pricing or product information received from our advertisers or suppliers, you agree the Site is not responsible for such errors or discrepancies.
