Disclaimer

The Service is provided to You "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" and with all faults and defects, without warranty of any kind. To the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, the Company, on its own behalf and on behalf of its Affiliates and its and their respective licensors and service providers, expressly disclaims all warranties, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, with respect to the Service, including all implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement, and warranties that may arise out of course of dealing, course of performance, usage, or trade practice.

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event will the Company or its Affiliates, licensors, or service providers be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including, without limitation, loss of profits, revenue, data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses, resulting from (a) Your access to or use of or inability to access or use the Service; (b) any conduct or content of any third party on the Service; or (c) unauthorized access, use, or alteration of Your transmissions or content.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties or limitation of liability for incidental or consequential damages, which means that some of the above limitations may not apply. In these jurisdictions, each party's liability will be limited to the greatest extent permitted by law.
