     Maisontetbrass.com and all subsequent pages act as a venue to allow persons to buy and sell information, musical goods and services. We are not involved in the actual transaction between buyers and sellers. As a result, we have no control over the quality, safety or legality of the items advertised, the truth or accuracy of the listings, the ability of sellers to sell services or the ability of buyers to buy services. We cannot ensure that a buyer or seller will actually complete a transaction.

California residents please note: you waive California Civil Code §1542, which says: "A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor."
