8. Limitation Of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, SoftGist LLC, its affiliates, officers, employees, agents, partners, and licensors shall not be liable to you or anyone else for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages, including, without limitation, damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data or other intangible losses, arising out of or in connection with your access to or use of the website, its content or services, whether based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence), product liability, or any other legal theory, even if SoftGist LLC has been advised of the possibility of such damages, and even if a remedy set forth herein is found to have failed its essential purpose.

In no event shall the total liability of SoftGist LLC, its affiliates, officers, employees, agents, partners, and licensors, to you or anyone else for any damages, losses, and causes of action arising out of or relating to these terms or your use of the website, its content or services, exceed the amount paid by you, if any, for accessing the website or its content, during the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the date of your claim or one hundred dollars ($100), whichever is greater.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, so the above limitation may not apply to you. In such cases, SoftGist LLC’s liability will be limited to the greatest extent permitted by applicable law.

You agree that the above limitations of liability represent a reasonable allocation of risk. This section shall survive any termination or expiration of these terms.

9. Indemnification

This indemnification obligation includes the payment of any damages, expenses, or costs incurred by SoftGist LLC or its affiliates, officers, agents, employees, and partners, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees, resulting from any breach of these Terms, or any act or omission by you or anyone using your account, that causes damage to SoftGist LLC or any other party.

10. Termination

We may terminate or suspend your access to all or any part of the Service at any time, with or without cause, with or without notice, effective immediately. Upon termination or suspension, you will no longer have access to the Service, and any Content you have posted or uploaded may remain on the Service at our discretion. All provisions of these Terms which by their nature should survive termination shall survive termination, including, without limitation, ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, indemnity, and limitations of liability.
