Entergy is not responsible for the privacy practices of any other websites.
11. Unavailability of the sites; failure of online transactions
The unavailability of the sites, or the failure of any online transaction for any reason, shall not relieve any utility customer or user from, or excuse the delay in the payment or performance of, any obligation owed to Entergy for or in connection with utility services that have been rendered or otherwise. Certain features of the sites may permit you to: (a) report an outage, or (b) view an outage map. Entergy makes these features available as a convenience to you and its other customers but does not warrant or guarantee the accuracy of outage maps accessed through the sites, nor does it guarantee any particular response with respect to outages reported through the sites.

Entergy does not warrant that product or service descriptions are accurate, complete, reliable, current, or error-free. The listing, description of, or reference to, a product or service on the sites does not imply that the product or service is presently available. All orders or purchases of products or services are subject to prevailing law, including, as appropriate, export and import regulations and boycotting restrictions, if any, imposed by governing bodies having jurisdiction over such orders, purchases, products or services.
13. Limitations of liability

Entergy is not responsible for technical, hardware, or software failures or losses of any kind, or for failed, incomplete, distorted, or delayed data transmissions, or equipment incompatibilities, in relation to any use of the sites. Entergy is not responsible for damage resulting from destructive computer code such as viruses, worms, trojan horses, and the like. Under no circumstances will Entergy be liable for damages of any kind resulting from the use of information, interactive forms, content, or computer code on the sites or any website accessible through the sites.

No delay or omission on the part of Entergy in enforcing its rights or remedies under these site terms or any such other terms, conditions, or policies shall impair its current or future exercise of its rights and remedies thereunder or be construed as a waiver of any provision of these site terms or any such other terms, conditions, or policies. No partial or single exercise of any right or remedy available to Entergy under these site terms or any such other terms, conditions, or policies shall preclude the full availability to Entergy of such right or remedy.

g) To the extent the application provider is not Entergy, the application provider, and its subsidiaries, are third party beneficiaries of these terms as related to your license of the application, and that, upon your acceptance of the terms and conditions of these terms, the application provider will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these terms as related to your license of the application against you as a third party beneficiary thereof.
h) You must also comply with all applicable third-party terms of service when using the application.
i) You represent and warrant that (i) you are not located in a country that is subject to a u.s. government embargo, or that has been designated by the u.s. government as a “terrorist supporting” country; and (ii) you are not listed on any u.s. government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
