Corrections and Modifications
VBMB is under no obligation to update, correct, or otherwise modify any information contained, residing, or transmitted to this or any VBMB site. While every reasonable effort is made to ensure that the information presented on and contained in these sites is accurate and correct, there may be inadvertent (technical and/or factual) inaccuracies and typographical errors. Information contained in VBMB sites may also become out-of-date. While VBMB disclaims all responsibility to update or correct any information placed on its sites, VBMB reserves the right to make changes and updates to any information contained within a VBMB site, including these Terms and Conditions, at VBMB's discretion and without prior notice.
Consent to Monitoring and Disclosure
VBMB is under no obligation to monitor the information residing on or transmitted to any VBMB site. However, anyone accessing a VBMB site agrees that VBMB may monitor the site to comply with any necessary laws, regulations, or governmental requests. VBMB shall have the right, but not the obligation, to reject or eliminate any information residing on or transmitted to its sites that it believes is unacceptable or inconsistent with these terms and conditions.
To the extent VBMB receives non-financial information or materials through its sites, including but not limited to feedback, data, answers, questions, comments, suggestions, plans, or ideas, such information or material shall be deemed to be non-confidential. VBMB assumes no obligation to protect such information from disclosure. The submission of information or materials to VBMB through a VBMB site shall in no way prevent the purchase, manufacture, or use of similar products, services, plans, and ideas by VBMB for any purpose whatever. In addition, VBMB shall have the right, in any form now or hereafter known, to reproduce, use, disclose, distribute, transmit, create derivative works from, and publicly display and perform, any information or materials submitted by visitors/users through any VBMB site.
Security
Any user of a VBMB server or site agrees to comply with any security processes and procedures (such as passwords) specified by VBMB with respect to access to or use of a VBMB site. Unless specifically authorized by VBMB in writing, users of a VBMB server or site further agree not to access or attempt to access any areas of or through the site that are not intended for general public access.
Endorsements and Linked Sites
Periodically VBMB makes reference in its sites to the products, services, processes, hypertext links, or other information of third parties (hereinafter “Third Party Products”). Unless specifically stated otherwise, such references shall not constitute or imply VBMB's endorsement, sponsorship, or recommendation of such Third Party Products.

No action, regardless of form, arising out of the use of a VBMB server, site, or the internet generally may be brought by a user/visitor more than one (1) year after the user/visitor knew or should have known of the occurrence of the event(s) which gave rise to the cause of action.
