Payments are processed by us or by third-party payment processors. By submitting a purchase, you authorize the Company and its processors to charge your payment method for the total amount, including applicable taxes and fees.

You receive a limited license as described on the Website. Sales are subject to any posted pricing, access duration, refund, and cancellation policies for the product at the time of purchase. Where required by law, refunds will be issued according to our posted policy or applicable statutory rights. Access to purchased digital products may be time-limited or conditioned on compliance with these Terms and any product-specific terms.

12. Disclaimer of Warranties

We do not warrant that files available for download from the internet or the Website will be free of viruses or other destructive code. You are responsible for implementing anti-virus protections and for maintaining external means for reconstructing lost data. We are not liable for any loss or damage caused by a distributed denial of service attack, viruses, or other harmful material due to your use of the Website or any services or items obtained through the Website or your downloading of any material posted on it or on any linked website.

Your use of the Website, its content, and any products or services obtained through the Website is at your own risk. The Website, its content, and any products or services obtained through the Website are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. We do not warrant that the Website or any content will be accurate, reliable, error-free, or uninterrupted, that defects will be corrected, that the Website or the servers are free of harmful components, or that the Website or any products or services will meet your needs or expectations.

Some products, services, or functionalities may be prepared from open source data or information you provide and may not include any visual or physical inspection of any location. Any reference to “solutions” describes potential actions that may reduce risk and does not guarantee risk mitigation or elimination.

To the extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, non-infringement, and fitness for a particular purpose. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so some exclusions may not apply to you.

13. Limitation of Liability

To the extent permitted by law, in no event will the Company, its affiliates, or their licensors, service providers, employees, agents, officers, or directors be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages, including personal injury, property damage, lost profits, loss of data, business interruption, cost of substitute goods or services, or loss of goodwill, arising out of or in connection with your use or inability to use the Website or any products or services, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

Without limiting the foregoing, in no event shall the aggregate liability of the Company, its affiliates, or their licensors, service providers, employees, agents, officers, or directors exceed the greater of:
a) the amount you paid for products or services via the Website in the three-month period immediately preceding the claim, or
b) one hundred dollars.

Some jurisdictions limit the limitations of liability. In such jurisdictions, our liability will be limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

14. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Company, its affiliates, licensors, and service providers, and their respective officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, suppliers, successors, and assigns from and against any claims, losses, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of or relating to your violation of these Terms or your use of the Website, including your User Contributions, any use of Website content, services, and products other than as expressly authorized, or your use of information obtained from the Website.

At our sole discretion, we may require you to submit any dispute arising from these Terms or the use of the Website, including interpretation, violation, invalidity, non-performance, or termination, to final and binding arbitration under the Rules of Arbitration of the American Arbitration Association applying Pennsylvania law.

Any cause of action or claim you may have arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Website must be commenced within one year after the cause of action accrues. Otherwise, the cause of action or claim is permanently barred.

16. Waiver and Severability

No waiver by the Company of any term or condition is a continuing waiver or a waiver of any other term or condition. Any failure by the Company to assert a right or provision under these Terms is not a waiver of that right or provision. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, that provision will be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent such that the remaining provisions continue in full force and effect.
