WE DO NOT PROMISE THAT OUR SITE OR ANY CONTENT, SERVICE, OR FEATURE OF OUR SITE WILL BE ERROR-FREE OR UNINTERRUPTED, OR THAT ANY DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED, OR THAT YOUR USE OF OUR SITE WILL PROVIDE SPECIFIC RESULTS. OUR SITE AND ITS CONTENT ARE DELIVERED ON AN “AS-IS” AND “AS-AVAILABLE” BASIS. ALL INFORMATION PROVIDED ON OUR SITE IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE. WE CANNOT ENSURE THAT ANY FILES OR OTHER DATA YOU DOWNLOAD FROM OUR SITE WILL BE FREE OF VIRUSES OR CONTAMINATION OR DESTRUCTIVE FEATURES.

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. Some jurisdictions do not allow limitations of liability, so the foregoing limitation may not apply to you.

 

Indemnity

 

You agree to indemnify and hold us, our officers, directors, shareholders, predecessors, successors in interest, employees, agents, subsidiaries, and affiliates harmless from any demands, losses, liabilities, claims, or expenses (including attorneys’ fees), made against us by any third party due to or arising out of or in connection with your use of our site.

 

Governing Law; Dispute Resolution

 

You agree that all matters relating to your access to or use of our site, including all disputes, will be governed by the laws of the United States and by the laws of the State of California without regard to its conflicts of laws provisions. You agree to the personal jurisdiction by and venue in the state and federal courts in Sacramento County, California and waive any objection to such jurisdiction or venue. The preceding provision regarding venue does not apply if you are a consumer based in the European Union. If you are a consumer based in the European Union, you may make a claim in the courts of the country where you reside. Any claim under these terms must be brought within one year after the cause of action arises or such claim or cause of action is barred. Claims made under separate terms and conditions of purchase for goods and services are not subject to this limitation. No recovery may be sought or received for damages other than out-of-pocket expenses, except that the prevailing party will be entitled to costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees.

If we are unable to resolve any such dispute within a reasonable time (not to exceed 30 calendar days), then either party may submit such controversy or dispute to mediation. If the dispute cannot be resolved through mediation, then the parties shall be free to pursue any right or remedy available to them under applicable law.
