Limitation on Liability

Except where prohibited by law, in no event will we be liable to you for any indirect, consequential, exemplary, incidental, or punitive damages, including lost profits, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

If, notwithstanding the other provisions of these terms, we are found to be liable to you for any damage or loss which arises out of or is in any way connected with your use of our site or any content, our liability shall in no event exceed the greater of: (i) the total of any subscription or similar fees with respect to any service or feature of or on our site paid by you during the six months prior to the date of the initial claim made against us, or (ii) US $100.
