THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE SERVICE, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE WEBMASTER AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE SERVICE "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

Many factors will influence the latency measurements observed by this service. Other users downloading large files or streaming video, for example, will cause a connection to seem slower than what may be possible if other activity wasn't present. The geographical distance from your computer to the web server may also play a factor. Overall, you shouldn't take the numbers too seriously or use them for anything important.
If any user (as identified by IP address and/or cookie) makes excessive use of the system, they may be prohibited from further use of the service. Don't be a hoser.
