To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Company, our subsidiaries and affiliates, and each of our respective officers, directors, agents, partners and employees (individually and collectively “Parties” or “Company Entity”) from and against any loss, liability, claim, demand, damages, expenses or costs (“Claims“) arising out of or related to: (a) your access to or use of our Services; (b) your Feedback; (c) your violation of these Terms; (d) your violation, misappropriation, or infringement of any rights of another (including intellectual property rights or privacy rights) while accessing or using our Services; or (e) your conduct in connection with our Services. You will promptly notify the indemnified Parties of any Claim, cooperate with the indemnified Parties in defending the Claim, and pay all fees, costs, and expenses associated with defending the Claim (including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees). The indemnified Parties will have the right to retain sole control of the defense or settlement of any Claim (at your expense). This indemnity is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other indemnities set forth in a written agreement between you and the Company or the other Parties.

Disclaimers

(a) We do not control, endorse, or take responsibility for any Third-Party Content available on or linked to by our Services.

(b) Your use of our Services is at your sole risk. Our Services are provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including, but not limited to, implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. In addition, the Company does not represent or warrant that our Services are accurate, complete, reliable, current, or error-free. While the Company attempts to make your access to and use of our Services safe, we cannot and do not represent or warrant that our Services are free of viruses or other harmful components. You assume the entire risk as to the quality and performance of the Services.

Limitation of Liability

(a) The Parties will not be liable to you under any theory of liability—whether based in contract, tort, negligence, warranty, or otherwise—for any indirect, consequential, incidental, special damages, or lost profits arising out of or in any way related to these Terms or our Services, even if the Parties have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

(b) The total liability of the Parties, for any claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or our Services, regardless of the form of the action, is limited to the greater of $100 or the amounts paid by you to for the Services in the 6 months prior to the claim.

(c) The limitations set forth in this section will not limit or exclude liability for the gross negligence, fraud, or intentional misconduct of the Parties or for any other matters in which liability cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law. Additionally, some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you.

Release

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you release the Parties from responsibility, liability, claims, demands, and/or damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown (including, but not limited to, claims of negligence), arising out of or related to disputes between users and the acts or omissions of third parties. You expressly waive any rights you may have under California Civil Code § 1542 as well as any other statute or common law principles that would otherwise limit the coverage of this release to include only those claims which you may know or suspect to exist in your favor at the time of agreeing to this release.

Governing Law and Venue

These Terms and your access to and use of our Services will be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of California, without regard to conflict of law rules or principles (whether of California or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. Any dispute between the parties that are not subject to arbitration or cannot be heard in small claims court will be resolved in the state or federal courts of California and the United States.

Termination or Suspension

We reserve the right, without notice and in our sole discretion, to terminate or suspend your right to access or use our Services or to discontinue all or a part of the Services. We are not responsible for any loss or harm related to your inability to access or use our Services.

Miscellaneous

If any provision or part of a provision of these Terms is unlawful, void or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Terms and does not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and the Company relating to your access to and use of our Services. The failure of the Company to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. The section titles in these Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. Except as otherwise provided herein, these Terms are intended solely for the benefit of the parties and are not intended to confer third party beneficiary rights upon any other person or entity.

Changes to Terms

We may make changes to these Terms from time to time.  If we make changes, we will provide notice of such changes, such as by sending an email notification, providing notice through our Services, or posting the amended Terms to our Services and updating the “Last Updated” date above. Unless we say otherwise in our notice, the amended Terms will be effective immediately and your continued access to and use of our Services after we provide notice will confirm your acceptance of the changes. If you do not agree to the amended Terms, you must stop accessing and using our Services.
