Limitations of liability
Under no circumstances will we, our representatives or our suppliers be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or exemplary damages arising from or relating to this Sites, the Services, any Content or these Terms of Service, including, without limitation, loss of revenues, loss of profits, business interruption or loss of data, even if we, our representatives or our suppliers have been advised of the possibility of such damages by you or any other person.

We may attempt to contact the person who has posted such material in order to give that person an opportunity to respond to the notification, although we make no promise to do so. Any and all counter notifications submitted by that person will be furnished to the complaining party. In all circumstances, we will give the complaining party an opportunity to seek judicial relief in accordance with any applicable laws before we replace or restore access to any material as a result of any counter notification.

Other
These Terms of Service constitute the complete and exclusive agreement between you and us with respect to its subject matter, and supersede and replace any and all prior or contemporaneous discussions, negotiations, understandings and agreements, written and oral, regarding its subject matter.
No term of these Terms of Service will be deemed to be waived by reason of any previous failure to enforce it. No term of these Terms of Service may be waived except in a writing signed by the party waiving enforcement.
Should any provision of these Terms of Service be held to be invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, then that provision will be enforced to the extent permissible, and all other provisions will remain in effect and are enforceable by the parties.
You and us are independent contractors and these Terms of Service will not establish any relationship of partnership, joint venture, employment, franchise or agency between us and you. Neither us nor you will have the power to bind the other or incur obligations on the others behalf without the other’s prior written consent, except as otherwise expressly provided in these Terms of Service.
This Agreement is made under and shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act, without giving effect to any principles that provide for the application of the law of another jurisdiction.

If we provide you with a translation of these Terms of Service and there is any inconsistency between the English language version and the translated version, the English language version will prevail.
