OUR LIABILITY FOR ANY CAUSE WILL AT ALL TIMES BE LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT PAID, IF ANY, BY YOU TO US. SOME LAWS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN EXCLUSIONS OR LIMITATIONS, SO SOME OF THESE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

22. INDEMNIFICATION

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold us harmless, including our subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, agents, partners, and employees, from any loss, damage, liability, claim, demand, fees, or expenses arising out of use of the Services, breach of these Legal Terms, breach of your representations and warranties, violation of third-party rights, or harmful acts toward another user.

25. MISCELLANEOUS

These Legal Terms and any policies or operating rules posted by us constitute the entire agreement and understanding between you and us. Failure to exercise or enforce any right does not waive that right. We may assign rights and obligations. We are not liable for loss, damage, delay, or failure caused by circumstances beyond our control. If a provision is unlawful, void, or unenforceable, it is severable and does not affect remaining provisions. No joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship is created. These Legal Terms will not be construed against us because we drafted them. You waive defences based on their electronic form or lack of physical signature.
