WARRANTIES & LIABILITIES

Warranty Disclaimer. THIS SITE (INCLUDING THE IDIDIO APPLICATIONS, GENERATED CONTENT AND DATA INCORPORATED THEREIN) MAY INCLUDE INACCURACIES, ERRORS AND DEFECTS, MAY BE OUTDATED, AND IS PROVIDED AS-IS AND AS-AVAILABLE WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, QUALITY, INTEGRATION, ACCURACY, WORKMANLIKE EFFORT, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT ARE DISCLAIMED. YOU SHOULD NOT ASSUME THAT THE GENERATED CONTENT CONTAINS THE MOST UP-TO-DATE DATA OR THAT IT IS ACCURATE, CURRENT OR COMPLETE.

Limitation of Liability

IN NO EVENT IS THE SITE, RIPE DATA, LLC, OR ITS OFFICERS, OWNERS, AGENTS, EMPLOYEES OR ATTORNEYS (“PROTECTED PARTIES”) LIABLE WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE), FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING LOST SAVINGS, LOST PROFIT, LOST GOODWILL OR REPUTATIONAL DAMAGE, LOST OR CORRUPTED DATA, COMMUNICATION FAILURE OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION) EVEN IF NOTIFIED IN ADVANCE OF SUCH POSSIBILITY. THIS LIMITATION IS A MATERIAL CONDITION TO THIS AGREEMENT, IS COMMERCIALLY REASONABLE AND HAS BEEN FACTORED INTO THE PRICE AND AGREEMENT AS A WHOLE. SOME STATES OR JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE FOREGOING LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. THIS LIMITATION IS INDEPENDENT OF REMEDY LIMITS. IF APPLICABLE LAW DOES NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF WARRANTIES OR THE LIMITATION OF LIABILITIES AS SET FORTH ABOVE, THEN IT IS AGREED THAT THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF THE PROTECTED PARTIES SHALL NOT EXCEED $100.00.

YOU RELEASE THE PROTECTED PARTIES FROM ANY CLAIMS THAT ARE LIMITED OR DISCLAIMED HEREIN. IF YOU ARE A CALIFORNIA RESIDENT, YOU WAIVE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 1542 WHICH SAYS: “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.”

Indemnification
