4.0 Limited Warranty and Disclaimer
THE APP LICENSED HEREIN IS LICENSED “AS IS” AND NEITHER LICENSOR NOR ITS REPRESENTATIVES OR DISTRIBUTORS MAKES ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE APP, ITS USE, OR THE RESULTS OF SUCH USE. ALL WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, PAST OR PRESENT, WHETHER STATUTORY, COMMON-LAW OR FROM A COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF TITLE OR NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMED TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
Without limiting the foregoing, Licensor does not warrant or represent that the operation of the App will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that any defect within the App will be corrected. Furthermore, Licensor does not warrant or make any representation regarding the results of Your use of the App in terms of capability, correctness, accuracy, reliability or otherwise, or that the App will meet Your requirements, or that the App is secure. No presentation, specimen, oral or written information or advice given by Licensor or any representative of Licensor shall create a warranty.
ANY LIABILITY OF LICENSOR OR ITS AFFILIATES FOR DEFECTS IN THE APP WILL BE LIMITED EXCLUSIVELY TO REPLACEMENT OF YOUR COPY OF THE APP WITH ANOTHER COPY OF THE APP, IF AVAILABLE.
Maintaining Operating System: Licensor cannot be responsible for the performance or maintenance of the computer or mobile-device’s 0perating systems (Windows 2000/XP/Vista or Linux, Mac OS, iPhone OS, Android or other) that you employ. This includes bugs, viruses, spyware and other malware. Your operating system requires occasional security patches, updates, and service packs. You need to ensure that whenever possible it is set to update automatically and that it is receiving and installing updates and other maintenance releases. We also recommend that you install antivirus software where possible.
Third party software and hardware: Licensor cannot be responsible for other software installed on the system by the end user. Common examples include applications (apps); email, office, publishing and accounting software, antivirus software, etc. We also cannot be responsible for any hardware, whether it was purchased from us or not. The reliability, security, and warranty of hardware is between you and the hardware manufacturer. Providing support to hardware or software not created by us puts us in a position of being responsible if it fails. We cannot accept this responsibility.
5.0 Limitations
As the user of the App, You are solely responsible for the selection of the App to achieve Your intended results, for the installation and use made of the App, and for the results obtained from the App. In addition, You are solely responsible for selection and installation of appropriate equipment, including the Service. You agree to follow the instructions contained in the App or materials provided from time to time in connection with the App, for installation and use of the App.
IN NO EVENT SHALL LICENSOR, ITS AFFILIATES OR LICENSORS (THE “LICENSOR PARTIES”) BE LIABLE WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR IN TORT, FOR ANY LOSSES, INJURIES OR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, TO ANY PERSON OR ENTITY (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, MULTIPLE, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES WHATSOEVER) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY USE, INABILITY TO USE, CONDITION, PERFORMANCE, DEFECT OR FAILURE IN, OR IMPROPER USE OF, THE APP OR THE RESULTS OF THE APP (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF BUSINESS PROFIT, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOSS OF BUSINESS INFORMATION OR OTHER PECUNIARY LOSS, OR DAMAGES FOR LOST OR CORRUPTED DATA), EVEN IF THE LICENSOR PARTIES HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
Some states or jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental, consequential or special damages, or the exclusion of implied warranties or limitations on how long a given warranty may last, so the above limitations may not apply to You. The limitations provided in this Agreement are intended to apply to the fullest extent allowable under applicable law.
You release and waive all claims against the Licensor Parties, and the directors, trustees, officers, shareholders, employees, agents and representatives of each of the foregoing, from any and all claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses arising out of Your use of the App. If You are a California resident, You waive any rights You may have under § 1542 of the California Civil Code, which reads: “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.” You agree to release unknown claims and waive all available rights under California Civil Code § 1542 or under any other statute or common law principle of similar effect. To the extent permitted by applicable law, this release covers all such claims regardless of the negligence of the Licensor Parties.
