2. Single Copy License
Any unauthorized use of any Materials or Services at this

4. Security
Certain pages on this Site are intended by SMC to require an

solely responsible for (1) maintaining the strict

(collectively, "IDs") assigned to you, (2) any charges,
damages, or losses that may be incurred or suffered as a
result of Your failure to maintain the strict

theft of Your IDs, Your disclosure of Your IDs, or Your
authorization to allow another person or entity to access

5. General
Disclaimers
THESE MATERIALS AND SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT
ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OF ANY KIND INCLUDING

CUSTOM OR TRADE. IN NO EVENT SHALL SMC, ITS PARENTS,
SUBSIDIARIES, AFFILIATES AND THEIR RESPECTIVE MEMBERS,
DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, STOCKHOLDERS AND AGENTS BE
LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY OTHER ENTITY FOR ANY AND ALL DAMAGES,
INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO DIRECT, COMPENSATORY, INDIRECT,
INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE
DAMAGES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF
PROFITS, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOSS OF INFORMATION AND LOSS
OF BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO (1)
THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE MATERIALS OR SERVICES, OR
(2) RELIANCE ON THE CONTENT, MATERIALS OR SERVICES; OR (3)
ERRORS, INACCURACIES, OMISSIONS, DEFECTS, UNTIMELINESS,

YOUR SATISFACTION. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR TAKING ALL

Because some jurisdictions may not permit each of these
disclaimers and limitations, the above limitations may not
apply to You. SMC and its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates
and their respective members, directors, officers,
employees, stockholders and agents further do not warrant
the accuracy or completeness of the information, text,

Materials or Services, or to the products described therein,
at any time without notice. SMC makes no commitment to
update the Materials or Services. Any description of

Materials or Services are available for sale, use or
distribution in Your location.
6. Safe Harbor Statement Under the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995
From time to time, SMC or its representatives may have made
or may make forward-looking statements, orally or in
writing. Such forward-looking statements may be included in,
but, not limited to, press releases, oral statements made by
or with the approval of an authorized executive officer, or
in this Site or other filings made by SMC with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. The words or phrases
''trend,'' ''expect,'' ''grow,'' ''will,'' ''could,''
''likely result,'' ''planned,'' ''continued,''
''anticipated,'' ''estimated,'' ''projected,''
''scheduled,'' ''could have,'' ''intended,'' ''believes,''
''continuing,'' ''considers,'' ''may be,'' ''assessed,''
''contingency,'' or similar expressions are intended to
identify ''forward-looking statements'' within the meaning
of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. SMC
wishes to ensure that such statements are accompanied by
meaningful cautionary statements, so as to maximize to the
fullest extent possible the protections of the safe harbor
established in said Act. Accordingly, such statements are
qualified in their entirety by reference to and are
accompanied by the following discussion of certain important
factors that could cause actual results to differ materially
from such forward-looking statements.
Factors that could cause actual results to materially differ
include, without limitation, the cyclical nature of SMC's
business, adverse economic and market conditions,
fluctuating costs of raw materials, including steel and
delays in the delivery of such raw materials and components.
Except as otherwise required by law, SMC expressly disclaims
any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any
updates or revisions to any such statements to reflect any
change in SMC's expectations or any change in events,
conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is
based. Accordingly, forward-looking statements should not be
relied upon as a prediction of actual results.
7. Indemnity
You agree to defend, indemnify and hold SMC, its parents,
subsidiaries, affiliates and their respective members,
directors, officers, employees, stockholders and agents
