To the greatest extent permitted by applicable law, the following additional legal terms shall apply:
15.1. WAIVER OF CLASS OR CONSOLIDATED ACTIONS
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS.
Deepmedia and you agree to resolve any dispute in an individual capacity, and not on behalf of, or as part of, any purported class, consolidated, or representative proceeding. Deepmedia and you further agree to not participate in any consolidated, class, or representative proceeding (existing or future) brought by any third party arising out of or relating to any dispute with a third party. If an Arbitrator or a Court determines that applicable law precludes enforcement of this Paragraph’s limitations as to a particular remedy, then the portion of the claim seeking that remedy (and only that portion of the claim) must be severed from the arbitration and may be brought in court. All other claims shall remain subject to arbitration solely on an individual basis.
The arbitrator cannot combine more than one person’s or entity’s claims into a single case, and cannot preside over any consolidated, class or representative proceeding (unless we agree otherwise). The arbitrator’s decision or award in one person’s or entity’s case can only impact the person or entity that brought the claim, not other Deepmedia Users, and cannot be used to decide other disputes with other Users.
If any court or arbitrator determines that the class/consolidated/representative action waiver set forth in this section is void or unenforceable for any reason or that arbitration can proceed on a class, consolidated, or representative basis, then the disputes, claims, or controversies will not be subject to arbitration and must be litigated in federal court located in Wilmington, Delaware or wherever Clause 14 above determines if you are a resident of the EEA, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland.
If any clause within this section is found to be invalid or unenforceable, that specific clause will be severed from this section, and the remainder of its provisions will be given full force and effect.
This Section will also apply to any claims asserted by you against any present or future parent, subsidiary or affiliated company of Deepmedia, or any employee, officer, director, or investor of Deepmedia, and to any claims asserted by any of them against you.
This Section shall survive any termination of your account or the Services.
15.2. DISCLAIMER OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.
THIS DISCLAIMER SECTION IS AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THESE TERMS:
YOUR ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE SERVICES IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK. THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN AS IS, AS AVAILABLE, AND WITH ALL FAULTS BASIS. THEREFORE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMISSIBLE BY LAW, WE AND OUR PARENT, AFFILIATES, SUBSIDIARIES, AND EACH OF THEIR RESPECTIVE EMPLOYEES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, MEMBERS, MANAGERS, SHAREHOLDERS, AGENTS, VENDORS, LICENSORS, LICENSEES, CONTRACTORS, CUSTOMERS, SUCCESSORS, AND ASSIGNS (COLLECTIVELY, COMPANY PARTIES), HEREBY DISCLAIM AND MAKE NO REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, ENDORSEMENTS, OR PROMISES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO:
THE SERVICES (INCLUDING THE CONTENT AND THE USER-GENERATED CONTENT); THE FUNCTIONS, FEATURES, INCLUDING ANY SPECIFIC FUNCTIONALITIES OF OUR PRODUCTS AND/OR SERVICES, OR ANY OTHER ELEMENTS ON, OR MADE ACCESSIBLE THROUGH, THE SERVICES; ANY PRODUCTS, SERVICES, OR INSTRUCTIONS OFFERED OR REFERENCED AT OR LINKED THROUGH THE SERVICES; WHETHER THE SERVICES (AND THEIR CONTENT), OR THE SERVERS THAT MAKE THE SERVICES AVAILABLE, ARE FREE FROM ANY HARMFUL COMPONENTS (INCLUDING VIRUSES, TROJAN HORSES, AND OTHER TECHNOLOGIES THAT COULD ADVERSELY IMPACT YOUR INTERNET DEVICE); THE SPECIFIC AVAILABILITY OF THE SERVICES, AND WHETHER ANY DEFECTS IN THE SERVICES WILL BE REPAIRED, OR WILL BE REPAIRED IN A PARTICULAR TIME FRAME; AND WHETHER YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES IS LAWFUL IN ANY PARTICULAR JURISDICTION.
EXCEPTING ONLY AS MAY BE SPECIFICALLY SET FORTH IN ANY ADDITIONAL TERMS, THE COMPANY PARTIES HEREBY FURTHER DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OR MISAPPROPRIATION OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OF THIRD PARTIES, TITLE, CUSTOM, TRADE, QUIET ENJOYMENT, SYSTEM INTEGRATION, AND FREEDOM FROM ERRORS, COMPUTER VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL ELEMENTS.
SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON IMPLIED WARRANTIES. IF THESE LAWS APPLY TO YOU, SOME OR ALL OF THE FOREGOING DISCLAIMERS, EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU, AND YOU MIGHT HAVE ADDITIONAL RIGHTS.
15.3. DISCLAIMER OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT ALLOWED BY APPLICABLE LAW, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL ANY COMPANY PARTIES BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH OR FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, ECONOMIC, EXEMPLARY, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL LOSSES OR DAMAGES THAT ARE DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY RELATED TO:
THE SERVICES (INCLUDING THE CONTENT AND THE USER-GENERATED CONTENT AND ANY SPECIFIC FUNCTIONALITIES OF OUR PRODUCTS AND/OR SERVICES); YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICES, OR THE PERFORMANCE OF THE SERVICES; THE FAILURE OF A CHILD USER TO LEARN OR OTHERWISE BENEFIT EDUCATIONALLY FROM THEIR USE OF THE SERVICES; ANY ACTION TAKEN IN CONNECTION WITH AN INVESTIGATION BY COMPANY PARTIES OR LAW ENFORCEMENT AUTHORITIES REGARDING YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF THE SERVICES, INCLUDING ANY SPECIFIC FUNCTIONALITIES OF OUR PRODUCTS AND/OR SERVICES; ANY ACTION TAKEN IN CONNECTION WITH COPYRIGHT OR OTHER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY OWNERS OR OTHER RIGHTS OWNERS; ANY ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE SERVICES’ TECHNICAL OPERATION; OR ANY DAMAGE TO ANY USER’S COMPUTER, HARDWARE, SOFTWARE, MODEM, OR OTHER EQUIPMENT OR TECHNOLOGY, INCLUDING DAMAGE FROM ANY SECURITY BREACH OR FROM ANY VIRUS, BUGS, TAMPERING, FRAUD, ERROR, OMISSION, INTERRUPTION, DEFECT, DELAY IN OPERATION OR TRANSMISSION, COMPUTER LINE, OR NETWORK FAILURE OR ANY OTHER TECHNICAL OR OTHER MALFUNCTION, INCLUDING LOSSES OR DAMAGES IN THE FORM OF LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF GOODWILL, LOSS OF DATA, WORK STOPPAGE, INACCURACY OF RESULTS, OR EQUIPMENT FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION.
THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY WILL APPLY EVEN IF ANY OF THE EVENTS OR CIRCUMSTANCES WERE FORESEEABLE AND EVEN IF COMPANY PARTIES WERE ADVISED OF OR SHOULD HAVE KNOWN OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSSES OR DAMAGES, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER YOU BRING AN ACTION OF CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OR TORT (INCLUDING WHETHER CAUSED, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, BY NEGLIGENCE, FORCE MAJEURE, TELECOMMUNICATIONS FAILURE, OR DESTRUCTION OF THE SERVICES).
BECAUSE SOME STATES OR JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR THE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, IN SUCH STATES OR JURISDICTIONS, OUR LIABILITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. IF YOU ARE A RESIDENT OF NEW JERSEY, THIS SECTION DOES NOT APPLY TO PREVENT A RIGHT TO RECOVER CERTAIN DAMAGES (INCLUDING PUNITIVE DAMAGES) WHERE A HARMED PERSON PROVES WITH THE REQUIRED EVIDENCE THAT THE HARM SUFFERED WAS THE RESULT OF THE DEFENDANT’S “ACTS OR OMISSIONS AND SUCH ACTS OR OMISSIONS WERE ACTUATED BY ACTUAL MALICE OR ACCOMPANIED BY A WANTON AND WILLFUL DISREGARD OF PERSONS WHO FORESEEABLY MIGHT BE HARMED BY THOSE ACTS OR OMISSIONS.” SIMILARLY, THIS SECTION DOES NOT LIMIT THE COMPANY PARTIES’ TORT LIABILITY UNDER NEW JERSEY LAW RESULTING FROM THE COMPANY PARTIES’ OWN INTENTIONAL OR RECKLESS CONDUCT.
EXCEPT AS MAY BE PROVIDED IN ANY ADDITIONAL TERMS, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL COMPANY PARTIES’ TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE SERVICES AND YOUR RIGHTS UNDER THESE TERMS EXCEED (I) THE AMOUNT PAID BY YOU TO US DURING THE PREVIOUS TWELVE MONTHS OR (II) $100, WHICHEVER IS GREATER, FOR ALL POSSIBLE DAMAGES, LOSSES, AND CAUSES OF ACTION. THE FOREGOING CAP ON LIABILITY SHALL NOT APPLY TO LIABILITY OF THE COMPANY PARTIES FOR (1) DEATH, TANGIBLE PROPERTY DAMAGE, OR PERSONAL INJURY CAUSED BY THE COMPANY PARTIES’ GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR FOR (2) ANY INJURY CAUSED BY THE COMPANY PARTIES’ FRAUD OR FRAUDULENT MISREPRESENTATION.
THE LIMITATIONS OF DAMAGES SET FORTH ABOVE ARE FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTS OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN DEEPMEDIA AND YOU.
15.4. Indemnity
To the maximum extent allowed by law, you agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Deepmedia and its officers, directors, employees and agents (the Indemnified Parties), from any claims or demand, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, made by any third party resulting from: (a) your breach or alleged breach of these Terms; (b) your use of the Services or activities in connection with the Services, including any specific functionalities of our products and/or services; (c) your User-Generated Content; (d) your violation of any law, rule or regulation; or (e) your violation of any third party rights. reserves the right to assume, at their sole expense, the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you, in which event you will fully cooperate with the Indemnified Parties in asserting any available defenses.

If any child you authorize to use or access the Services disaffirms any or all of these Terms, you agree to defend, indemnify and hold us harmless for any damages we suffer by the child’s disaffirmance.
Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph, if you are a resident of New Jersey, you only agree to release, defend, indemnify, and hold the Indemnified Parties harmless from and against any third-party claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including without limitation reasonable legal and accounting fees, arising out of or in any way connected with your violation of these Terms.
If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which provides:
