LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION

However, this exclusion does not apply to damages affecting life, health, or physical integrity, damages arising from the breach of significant contractual obligations (for example, those necessary for fulfilling the contract’s purpose), and/or damages resulting from intentional or gross negligence, provided our website was used appropriately and correctly by you.
Unless damages result from intentional or gross negligence or affect life, health, or physical integrity, our liability is limited to typical and foreseeable damages at the time the contract was made.
Disclaimer of warranties
Our website is provided “as is” and “as available.” By using our service, you do so at your own risk. We explicitly disclaim any and all promises or warranties, whether express, implied, or required by law. These include warranties regarding the quality of service, its suitability for your specific needs, or whether it infringes third-party rights. Note that any advice or information you receive from us or through our service does not create any warranty beyond what is explicitly stated here.
While we strive to provide accurate and reliable content, we cannot guarantee that it will always be so. We do not warrant that the service will always meet your needs or be available when you require it. Interruptions may occur or the service may not function properly due to factors beyond our control. Although we make every effort to ensure smooth operation, we cannot guarantee the service is free from harmful elements such as viruses. If you choose to download any content from our service, you assume the risk and we are not responsible for any damage this may cause to your devices or data.
We neither endorse nor guarantee any product or service advertised through our service or links we provide. We are not involved in any transaction between you and external providers, so any interaction or agreement you enter into with them is solely your responsibility.
The service may not always be accessible or may not function properly with your web browser, mobile device, or operating system. While we strive to provide a seamless experience, we cannot guarantee it in all circumstances. Therefore, we want to clarify that we cannot be held responsible for any perceived or actual damage resulting from issues related to the content, functionality, or use of our service.
Although our agreement may contain certain exclusions and limitations, they may not apply to you under the laws of your jurisdiction. Federal law, as well as the laws of some states and other jurisdictions, may provide higher consumer protections that supersede our disclaimers. This means you may have specific legal rights that are not affected by our agreement. It is essential that you understand your rights, as they may vary from state to state or country to country. We emphasize that any disclaimer or limitation of liability in our agreement applies only to the extent permitted by applicable law.
Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall we, our subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, agents, partners, suppliers, or employees be liable for:
- Any indirect, punitive, incidental, special, consequential, or exemplary damages arising from or related to your use of or inability to use the service. This includes damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data, or other intangible losses;

- Interruption or cessation of transmission to or from the service;
- Errors, viruses, trojans, or similar harmful elements transmitted through the service;
- Errors or omissions in any content published, transmitted, or made available through the service;
- Defamatory, offensive, or illegal conduct of any user or third party. Our liability is limited to the amount you have paid us in the previous 12 months or the duration of your contract with us, whichever is shorter.
This limitation of liability section applies to the fullest extent permitted by law in the applicable jurisdiction, regardless of whether the alleged liability is based on contract, tort, strict liability, or any other basis, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
Please note that in some jurisdictions, the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages is not permitted. This means that these limitations or exclusions may not apply in your case. You have specific legal rights that may vary depending on your jurisdiction. The disclaimers, exclusions, and limitations of liability described here may not apply to the extent prohibited by applicable law.
Indemnification
By using and accessing the service, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold us, our subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, agents, co-branding partners, suppliers, and employees harmless from any claim, damage, loss, liability, cost, or expense, including attorney’s fees, arising from:

We may suspend or discontinue the service within legal limits. If the service is interrupted, we will assist you in retrieving your personal data and will respect your rights regarding continued use of the product and compensation under applicable law.

All trademarks, whether nominal or figurative, and any other mark, trade name, service mark, design mark, illustration, image, or logo associated with our website, remain the exclusive property of us or our licensors.

Contact
All communications related to the use of our website should be sent using the contact information provided in this document.
Severability
The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision under applicable law does not affect the validity of other provisions, which remain in full force and effect.
Any invalid or unenforceable provision shall be interpreted to the extent reasonably necessary to make it valid, enforceable, and consistent with its original intent. This document constitutes the entire agreement between you and us and replaces all other communications, including, but not limited to, prior agreements related to the same subject matter, to the fullest extent permitted by law.
If any provision of this document is null, invalid, or unenforceable, both parties agree to use all reasonable efforts to reach, in a friendly manner, an agreement on valid and enforceable provisions.
If this is not possible, the null, invalid, or unenforceable provision shall be replaced by applicable legal provisions.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the nullity, invalidity, or unenforceability of any particular provision of this document does not invalidate the entire agreement unless such provisions are essential to it, or of such importance that the parties would not have entered into the contract knowing that the provision would be invalid, or in cases where the remaining provisions would impose an unacceptable hardship on you or us.
Applicable law
These terms are governed by the law of the place where we have our headquarters (United States), as described in the relevant section of this document, without regard to conflict of law principles.
Prevalence of national law
However, irrespective of the above, if the law of the country where we are based establishes higher consumer protection standards, those higher standards shall prevail.
Venue
Jurisdiction for any dispute related to these terms lies with the courts of the location of our headquarters, as described in the relevant section of this document.
Both parties agree to waive any right to a jury trial in any court in connection with any action or litigation.
Any claim under these terms shall proceed individually, and both parties agree not to participate in a class action or other proceeding with or on behalf of others.
Survival provisions
Our agreement remains in effect until terminated by our website or you. Upon termination, the provisions contained in this document that by their context are intended to survive termination or expiration shall remain in force, including, but not limited to, the following:
- Your grant of licenses under this document shall remain in effect indefinitely;
- Your indemnification obligations shall remain in effect for five years from the date of termination;
- The disclaimer of warranties and representations, and the stipulations in the section containing indemnification and limitation of liability, shall remain in effect indefinitely.
