IN NO EVENT WILL WE OR
OUR OFFICIALS, REPRESENTATIVES, EMPLOYEES, OR AGENTS BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY
THIRD PARTY FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL,
SPECIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFIT, LOST REVENUE, LOSS OF
DATA, OR OTHER DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES, EVEN IF WE HAVE
BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN NO EVENT SHALL OUR
TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICES FOR ALL DAMAGES, LOSSES,
AND CAUSES OF ACTION EXCEED FIVE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US $500).
You agree to defend, indemnify,
and hold us harmless, including our subsidiaries, affiliates, and all of our
respective officials, representatives, employees, or agents, from and against
any loss, damage, liability, claim, or demand, including reasonable attorneys
fees and expenses, made by any third party due to or arising out of: (1)
use of the Services; (2) breach of these Legal Terms; (3) any breach of your representations
and warranties set forth in these Legal Terms; (4) your violation of the rights
of a third party, including but not limited to intellectual property rights; or
(5) any overt harmful act toward any other user of the Services with whom you connected
via the Services. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we reserve the right, at your
expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter
for which you are required to indemnify us, and you agree to cooperate, at your
expense, with our defense of such claims. We will use reasonable
efforts to notify you of any such claim, action, or proceeding which is subject
to this indemnification upon becoming aware of it.
We will maintain certain data
that you transmit to the Services for the purpose of managing the performance
of the Services, as well as data relating to your use of the Services. Although
we perform regular routine backups of data, you are solely responsible for all
data that you transmit or that relates to any activity you have undertaken
using the Services. You agree that we shall have no liability to you for any
loss or corruption of any such data, and you hereby waive any right of action
against us arising from any such loss or corruption of such data.
Visiting the Services, sending
us emails, and completing online forms constitute electronic communications.
You consent to receive electronic communications, and you agree that all
agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications we provide to you
electronically, via email and on the Services, satisfy any legal requirement
that such communication be in writing. YOU HEREBY AGREE TO THE USE OF
ELECTRONIC SIGNATURES, CONTRACTS, ORDERS, AND OTHER RECORDS, AND TO ELECTRONIC
DELIVERY OF NOTICES, POLICIES, AND RECORDS OF TRANSACTIONS INITIATED OR
COMPLETED BY US OR VIA THE SERVICES. You hereby waive any rights or
requirements under any statutes, regulations, rules, ordinances, or other laws
in any jurisdiction which require an original signature or delivery or
retention of non-electronic records, or to payments or the granting of credits
by any means other than electronic means.
If any complaint with us is not
satisfactorily resolved, you can contact the Complaint Assistance Unit of the

These Legal Terms and any
policies or operating rules posted by us on the Services or in respect to the
Services constitute the entire agreement and understanding between you and us.
Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Legal Terms
shall not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. These Legal Terms operate to the fullest extent permissible by law. We may
assign any or all of our rights and obligations to
others at any time. We shall not be responsible or liable for any loss, damage,
delay, or failure to act caused by any cause beyond our reasonable control. If
any provision or part of a provision of these Legal Terms is determined to be
unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is
deemed severable from these Legal Terms and does not affect the validity and
enforceability of any remaining provisions. There is no joint venture,
partnership, employment or agency relationship created between you and us as a result of these Legal Terms or use of the Services. You
agree that these Legal Terms will not be construed against us by virtue of
having drafted them. You hereby waive any and all defenses you
may have based on the electronic form of these Legal Terms and the lack of
signing by the parties hereto to execute these Legal Terms.
