Section 9 – Disclaimers and Limitations of Liability
Please read this section carefully since it limits the liability of Scalable Path and its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, related companies, officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, partners, and licensors (collectively, the “Scalable Path Entities”). Each of the subsections below only applies up to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law. Some jurisdictions do not allow the disclaimer of implied warranties or the limitation of liability in contracts, and as a result, the contents of this section may not apply to you. Nothing in this section is intended to limit any rights you may have that may not be lawfully limited.
The Site is Available “As-Is.”
Your use of the Site and the Content is at your own risk. You agree that the Site (including its related services and features) is provided to you on an “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” basis. Without limiting the foregoing, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, THE SCALABLE PATH ENTITIES DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, COPYRIGHT OWNERSHIP, AND NONINFRINGEMENT.
The Scalable Path Entities make no warranty and disclaim all responsibility and liability for: (i) the completeness, accuracy, availability, timeliness, security, or reliability of the Site or the Content, whether user-supplied or not; (ii) the conduct, whether online or offline, of any user; (iii) any harm to your computer system, loss of data, or other harm that results from your access to or use of the Site or Content; (iv) the deletion of, or the failure to store or to transmit, Content and other communications maintained by the Scalable Path Entities; and (v) whether the Site will meet your requirements or be available on an uninterrupted, prompt, secure, or error-free basis. No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained from the Scalable Path Entities or through the Site, will create any warranty not expressly made herein.
Links.
The Site may contain links to third-party websites or resources. The Scalable Path Entities are not responsible or liable for: (i) the availability or accuracy of such websites or resources; or (ii) the content, products, or services on or available from such websites or resources. Links to such websites or resources do not imply any endorsement by the Scalable Path Entities of such websites or resources or the content, products, or services available from such websites or resources. You acknowledge sole responsibility for and assume all risk arising from your use of any such websites or resources.
Limitation of Liability.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Scalable Path Entities are not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits or revenues, whether incurred directly or indirectly, or any loss of data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses, resulting from: (a) the Site; (b) the Content; (c) your use of, inability to use, or the performance of the site; (d) any errors or omissions in the Site or the Content; (e) any conduct or content of any third party on the Site; or (f) unauthorized access, use, or alteration of any content provided by you.
In no event shall the aggregate liability of the Scalable Path Entities exceed the greater of $100 or the amount you paid Scalable Path, if any.
The limitations of this subsection shall apply to any theory of liability, whether based on warranty, contract, statute, tort (including negligence), or otherwise, and whether or not the Scalable Path Entities have been informed of the possibility of any such damage, and even if a remedy set forth herein is found to have failed of its essential purpose.
You agree that in the event you incur any damages, losses, or injuries that arise out of Scalable Path’s acts or omissions, the damages, if any, caused to you are not irreparable or sufficient to entitle you to an injunction preventing any exploitation of any website, service, property, product, or other content owned or controlled by the Scalable Path Entities, and you will have no rights to enjoin or restrain the development, production, distribution, advertising, exhibition, or exploitation of any website, property, product, service, or other content owned or controlled by the scalable path entities.
By accessing the Site, you understand that you may be waiving rights with respect to claims that are at this time unknown or unsuspected, and in accordance with such waiver, you acknowledge that you have read, understand, and expressly waive the benefits of Section 1542 of the Civil Code of California (and any similar law of any state or territory), which provides: “a general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.”
Indemnity.
You hereby indemnify the Scalable Path Entities from any claim, demand, damages, liability, expenses, and losses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, asserted by any third party resulting from or arising out of (i) your use or misuse of the Site, the Content, or any information that you obtain from the foregoing; (ii) any Content provided or submitted by you; (iii) any breach by you of these Terms; and (iv) any misrepresentation made by you in connection with this agreement.

Further, Scalable Path may modify the Site (or any Site feature) at its sole discretion. New Site features will also be subject to these Terms.
Waiver and Severability.
Scalable Path’s failure to enforce any right or provision in these Terms is not a waiver of that right or provision.
