Forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from UCTE's historical experience and our present expectations or projections. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made. UCTE undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements.

UCTE shall not be liable or responsible for any misuse of User ID and password.

As a condition of the grant of access to the secured section, the user must agree that UCTE may terminate the user's account and its access privilege for any reason. The user must also agree that any termination of its access privileges may be effected without prior notice, and that UCTE may at any time immediately deactivate or delete the user's account and prevent the user from further access to the secured section of the Website. Furthermore, the user must agree that UCTE shall not be liable in any respect to the user or to any third-party for any termination of the user's access to the secured section of the Website.
