l) The eventual delivery of SMS/Text Messages to CMA's / CMA Big Break is largely dependent on additional parties and the effective functioning of the sender's mobile operator's systems and infrastructure. Consequently, CMA, CMA Partners and the Voting Service Providers will not be liable for non-receipt of, or late receipt of, messages due to issues resulting from services provided by the participant's mobile providers. Should there be a dispute, CMA's shall endeavor to make the necessary investigations to the best of its abilities and attempt to rectify the discrepancy, but should such investigations prove to be inconclusive, no further action can be taken against CMA, CMA Partners or Voting Service Providers by CMA's voters
m) All SMS/text votes received by the CMA / CMA Big Break database will receive a reply confirmation message. In times of high entry volumes some delays may occur in the delivery of this reply message. CMA's will do its best to ensure all confirmation text messages sent to you are delivered promptly. Successful delivery depends on additional parties such as telecommunication network suppliers and ISP's, hence CMA's cannot guarantee that messages will arrive promptly or arrive at all. Message delivery performance is subject to the recipient's mobile terminal being switched on and located within an area that is acceptably covered by the recipient's service provider. Furthermore, mobile operators can prevent their subscribers from receiving SMS messages, for whatever reasons, and in such cases message delivery is not possible. CMA, CMA Partners and Voting Service Providers will not be held responsible for any loss, damages or injury whatsoever arising from the receipt or non-receipt of text messages
n)Under no circumstances are CMA's, CMA Partners or Voting Service Providers liable for any indirect/special and/or consequential damages or loss whatsoever which result from any use or access to or any inability to use or access the SMS/Text Message Voting service.
