No Warranties/Limitation of Liability


EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY STATED IN THIS AGREEMENT, SCRIBE AND THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS  IS   ,” “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT NEITHER SCRIBE NOR ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, CONTRACTORS OR OTHER SUPPLIERS MAKES ANY WARRANTIES OR GUARANTEES WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICES AND CONTENT, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES REGARDING THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF ANY CONTENT, OR WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

Because some states or jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for certain damages, in such states or jurisdictions, the liability of Scribe, its affiliates and their officers, directors, employees, agents, contractors or other suppliers shall be limited in accordance with this Agreement to the extent permitted by law. Scribe, its affiliates and their officers, directors, employees, agents, contractors or other suppliers shall not be liable for any loss, cost or damage due to causes beyond their control. You understand that Scribe accepts no responsibility for the security of information on the Internet.

Without limiting any of the foregoing, if Scribe, its affiliates or any of their officers, directors, employees, agents, contractors or other suppliers is found liable to you for any claims or matters arising under or in connection with this Agreement, Scribe and such parties’ aggregate and maximum liability for all such matters and claims in any calendar year shall not exceed $10,000.
