You will not resell the Product or Merchandise. (Note: If you are a promotional agency or distributor, you may resell the Product and/or Merchandise solely to businesses for use by such businesses to promote their own products or services as described in these Terms.)

You are solely responsible for and assume all liability arising from any repackaging of the Product.

c. Custom-printed Orders. In addition to the general requirements set forth above, by placing an order for custom-printed Product and/or Merchandise ("Custom Items") requesting use of a photograph, logo, name, trademark, tradename or other mark ("Customer Marks"), you represent and warrant that:

You agree that you will indemnify and hold harmless Mars Retail Group and its affiliates and their respective employees, affiliates and agents, from and against any and all claims, suits, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including, but not limited to court costs and reasonable attorney fees) arising out of or in connection with any use of the Customer Marks in accordance with these Terms.

As between you and Mars Retail Group, all intellectual property rights in the Custom Items will be and remain the exclusive property of Mars Retail Group (except for the Customer Marks, which will be and remain your exclusive property) and you will not acquire any rights of any nature in such intellectual property as a result of your purchase or use of the Custom Items. Mars Retail Group will not sell or distribute the Custom Items to any third party without your express prior written approval. If you are a business, you will submit any and all advertising or other promotional materials relating to the Custom Items to Mars Retail Group for written approval before release for use or publication.

6. FORCE MAJEURE.

Notwithstanding any other provision of these Terms, if Mars Retail Group is delayed in or prevented from fulfilling any of its obligations under these Terms by reason of any event beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God or terrorism, fire, strikes, delay of transportation or inability to obtain necessary new materials through normal commercial channels, Mars Retail Group will not be liable for damages resulting from such delay or prevention. Mars Retail Group will promptly notify you of the occurrence of any such event and will use reasonable efforts to minimize the resulting delay or prevention.

7. INDEMNIFICATION

Mars Retail Group reserves the right, at its discretion, to change or modify all or any part of these Terms at any time; however, we will not make any changes that have a retroactive effect unless legally required to do so.

9. WARRANTY DISCLAIMER

10. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

In no event will Mars Retail Group be liable for any consequential, indirect, punitive or special damages of any kind arising out of or relating to use of (or inability to use) the Site and/or Product or Merchandise, even if Mars Retail Group has been advised of the possibility of such damages. This limitation may not be applicable to you because some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on or exclusions of liability for incidental or consequential damages in certain circumstances.

11. MISCELLANEOUS

Our failure to act with respect to a breach of these Terms by you or others does not waive our right to act with respect to similar or subsequent breaches. If any part of these Terms is held to be unenforceable or invalid, such part will be deemed automatically superceded by an enforceable, valid provision most closely matching the intent of the original provision and the remainder of these Terms will continue in effect. These Terms will be binding upon you and your successors and permitted assigns. You may not assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the express prior written consent of Mars Retail Group. All remedies available for breach of these Terms are cumulative and may be exercised concurrently or separately. The exercise of one remedy will not be deemed an election of such remedy of the exclusion of other remedies. You agree to execute and deliver such further documents and assurances, if any, as may be required from time to time to give effect to these Terms.
