11. Disclaimers and Limitations of Liability
Please read this section carefully since it limits the liability of Sploops LLC and its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, related companies, officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, partners, and licensors (collectively, the "Sploops LLC 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 which may not be lawfully limited.
Your access to and use of Sploops LLC Services or any Content is at your own risk. You understand and agree that Sploops LLC Services are provided to you on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis. Without limiting the foregoing, SPLOOPS LLC ENTITIES DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.
Sploops LLC Entities make no warranty and disclaim all responsibility and liability for: (i) the completeness, accuracy, availability, timeliness, security or reliability of Sploops LLC or any Content; (ii) any harm to your computer system, loss of data, or other harm that results from your access to or use of Sploops, LLC, or any Content; (iii) the deletion of, or the failure to store or to transmit, any Content and other communications maintained by Sploops, LLC; (iv) whether Sploops LLC will meet your requirements or be available on an uninterrupted, secure, or error-free basis. No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained from Sploops LLC Entities or through Sploops, LLC, will create any warranty not expressly made herein.
Sploops LLC Services may contain links to third-party websites or resources. You acknowledge and agree that we 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 Sploops LLC 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.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE SPLOOPS LLC ENTITIES SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY 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, GOOD-WILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, RESULTING FROM (i) YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF OR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE SPLOOPS LLC; (ii) ANY CONDUCT OR CONTENT OF ANY THIRD PARTY ON SPLOOPS, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY DEFAMATORY, OFFENSIVE OR ILLEGAL CONDUCT OF OTHER USERS OR THIRD PARTIES; (iii) ANY CONTENT OBTAINED FROM SPLOOPS LLC; OR (iv) UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS, USE OR ALTERATION OF YOUR TRANSMISSIONS OR CONTENT.
IN NO EVENT SHALL THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF THE SPLOOPS LLC ENTITIES EXCEED THE GREATER OF ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (U.S. $100.00) OR THE AMOUNT YOU PAID SPLOOPS LLC, IF ANY, IN THE PAST SIX MONTHS FOR SPLOOPS LLC SERVICES GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.
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 SPLOOPS LLC 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.
The failure of Sploops LLC to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be deemed a waiver of such right or provision. In the event that any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, then that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect.
These Terms and any action related thereto will be governed by the laws of the State of Pennsylvania without regard to or application of its conflict of law provisions or your state or country of residence. All claims, legal proceedings or litigation arising in connection with Sploops LLC Services will be brought solely in the federal or state courts located in HUNTERDON County, New Jersey, United States, and you consent to the jurisdiction of and venue in such courts and waive any objection as to inconvenient forum.
If you are a federal, state, or local government entity in the United States using Sploops LLC in your official capacity and legally unable to accept the controlling law, jurisdiction or venue clauses above, then those clauses do not apply to you. For such U.S. federal government entities, these Terms and any action related thereto will be governed by the laws of the United States of America (without reference to conflict of laws) and, in the absence of federal law and to the extent permitted under federal law, the laws of the State of Pennsylvania (excluding choice of law).
These Terms, the Sploops LLC Community Guidelines, and the Sploops LLC Privacy Policy are the entire and exclusive agreement between Sploops LLC and you regarding Sploops LLC Services (excluding any services for which you have a separate agreement with Sploops LLC that is explicitly in addition or in place of these Terms), and these Terms supersede and replace any prior agreements between Sploops LLC and you regarding Sploops LLC Services.
We may revise these Terms from time to time, and the most current version will always be at www.sploops.com. If the revision, in our sole discretion, is material we will notify you through Sploops LLC Services. If you do not wish to be bound by any such revisions to the Terms, you must end these Terms with us as set forth in Section 10 above. By continuing to access or use Sploops LLC Services after those revisions become effective, you agree to be bound by the revised Terms.
These Terms are an agreement between you and
