Warranties and Disclaimers; Limitation of Liability


Except as expressly provided otherwise in a written agreement between you and us, all Services, including the Websites and related Materials, are provided “as is” without warranty or condition of any kind, either express or implied, including, but not limited to, the implied terms of satisfactory quality, merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose.

Some states or jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied terms or limitations on how long an implied warranty may last, so the above limitations may not apply to you. To the extent permissible, any implied warranties are limited to ninety (90) days.


In no event shall we be liable to you or any third party, in contract, tort (including negligence), statutory duty or otherwise for any special, punitive, incidental, indirect or consequential damages of any kind, including, without limitation, those resulting from loss of use, data or profits, whether or not we have been advised of the possibility of such damages, arising out of or in connection with the use of the Websites or of any websites referenced or linked to or from the Websites. Save to the extent prohibited under applicable law, in no event will our cumulative liability to you, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), or otherwise, exceed the greater of (1) the aggregate amount you paid to us to access or use the Services in the most recent three-month period, if applicable; or (2) $50. Some jurisdictions prohibit the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, so the above limitations may not apply to you.


The use of the Services is done at your own discretion and risk. No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained by you from us or through or from the Websites shall create any warranty not expressly stated in these Terms.
