How does InAcademia affect the user’s relationship with retailers?

The Service makes no attempt to create a relationship with users/students and its operators are in no way responsible or in any way obligated toward the student for the products/services subject to the purchase or registration process.  InAcademia does not act as an agent for the student, and the identity validation process is a non-linear diversion (sense for student reader?) that does not relate to the sale itself.
