    NYU makes no representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied, regarding the availability, operation, or administration of the Service, and to the full extent permitted by applicable law, NYU specifically disclaims all such warranties, whether express or implied, including but not limited to the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose (even if that purpose has been disclosed). NYU reserves the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Service, with or without notice, at any time and without any liability to users.

    NYU does not guarantee or warrant that the Service, or services or materials available through the Service, are free from viruses, worms, defects, Trojan horses, malware, or any items of a destructive nature. NYU is not liable for any damages or harm attributable to such features.

Some states do not allow the limitation of liability for these kinds of damages, so these limitations or exclusions may not apply to you.
