Please tell me it's not a bug, and you're really doing maintenance.

I thought it was kind of obvious that I was experiencing a problem - which I am again.

Flashcards are "down for maintenance", but I was assured, at about 9:30am this morning, that they'd be up again very shortly.

It's now 2pm. :roll:

Hi laemus-san,

We're very sorry about the issue with the flashcards. We are in the process of testing a script, which will lead to users getting the maintenance message when it is running. Maintenance has been taking longer than expected, but we hope to have it done within the next couple of days.
Thank you for your patience :ue:

The arbitration will be conducted in a location of Licensor’s choosing and judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrator selected under the Rules must be a lawyer. The arbitrator has no authority to award damages in excess of those permitted in this Agreement for any reason. Any award in excess of such limitation will be deemed void as between the parties. Either Licensee or Licensor may seek any interim or preliminary equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction necessary to protect the rights or the property of Licensee or Licensor (or its affiliates, agents, suppliers, and subcontractors), pending the completion of arbitration.

13. Miscellaneous

13.2 Licensor may be required by state or federal law to notify Licensee of certain events. Licensee hereby acknowledges and consents that such notices will be effective upon Licensor's posting them on the Site or delivering them to Licensee through e-mail. Licensee may update Licensee’s e-mail address by visiting the Services where Licensee has provided contact information. If Licensee does not provide Licensor with accurate information, Licensor cannot be held liable if Licensor fail to notify Licensee.

13.3 Licensor's failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. This Agreement and Licensee’s right to use the Services may not be assigned by Licensee without the prior written approval of Licensor.

13.4 This Agreement, including any applicable attachments, and all terms, conditions, and policies that are incorporated into these terms by reference, constitute the entire agreement between Licensee and Licensor and govern Licensee’s use of the Site and Services, superseding any prior agreements that Licensee may have with Licensor.

13.5 Licensee may not use, import or export materials on this Site in violation of United States, or any other applicable country's, import and export laws and regulations.

13.6 If any part of this Agreement is determined to be invalid or unenforceable pursuant to applicable law, the invalid or unenforceable provision will be construed in accordance with applicable law as nearly as possible to reflect the original intentions of the parties and the intent of the original provision. Where a court is unable to construe any unenforceable or invalid provision to make it binding, the court will severe and delete the provision. In any event, all other terms remaining valid and enforceable will survive and remain in full force and effect.
