The DMBPC site is controlled and offered by DMBPC from its facilities in the United States of America. DMBPC makes no representations that the DMBPC site is appropriate or available for use in other locations. Those who access or use the DMBPC site from other jurisdictions do so at their own risk, according to their own volition, and are responsible for compliance with local law.

DMBPC reserves the right to modify DMBPC’s website/mobile application. You are responsible for providing your own access to the website/mobile application. DMBPC has no obligation to screen or monitor any content and does not guarantee that any content available on its website/mobile application complies with this agreement.

The website/mobile application is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. You therefore use the site/mobile application at your own risk.
