Unless explicitly stated otherwise, any new features that augment or enhance the current Service, including the release of new SIPA properties, shall be subject to the TOS. You understand and agree that the Service is provided "AS-IS" and that SIPA assumes no responsibility for the timeliness, deletion, mis-delivery or failure to store any user communications or personalization settings.
