liability (whether based in contract, tort, negligence, strict liability or
otherwise) for any direct, indirect, incidental, common law, statutory,
regulatory, consequential, compensatory, punitive or special damages arising

an organization that can provide you with value-added information and/or
functionality. By linking to these sites, GRC does not represent or imply that
there is any business relationship between the two entities. GRC is not

Education). By submitting an application for a loan consolidation, deferment or
forbearance, GRC does not guarantee that you will receive a loan consolidation,
deferment or forbearance. Eligibility for one of these programs will be
determined by a number of factors including the type of debt involved, the
status of your account, applicable student loan regulations and other
qualification requirements as determined by your lender or other designated
entity.

you agree to provide current, complete and accurate information about yourself.

LIABILITY OF SALLIE MAE, ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS, IF ANY,

employees and agents from and against all losses, expenses, damages and costs,
including reasonable attorney fees, arising out of or relating to use of the
Site by you or any other person accessing the Site using your user name and

The provisions of these Terms apply for the benefit of GRC and its officers,
directors, employees and agents. Each of these individuals or entities shall

You and GRC agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction and
venue of the state and federal courts located within Hamilton County, Ohio. The
failure of GRC to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the Terms shall
not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of the
Terms is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties
nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the
parties' intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of
the Terms remain in full force and effect. You agree that regardless of any
statute, regulation or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action
arising out of or related to use of the site or the Terms must be filed within
one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred.
