DISCLAIMERS & LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
Under no circumstances will the Chompmark parties be liable to you for any loss or damages of any kind (including, without limitation, for any direct, indirect, economic, exemplary, special, punitive, incidental or consequential losses or damages that are directly or indirectly related to the Sites; the Materials; Widgets or the Downloadable Items; User Content; your use of, inability to use, or the performance of the Sites; any action taken in connection with an investigation by the Chompmark parties or law enforcement authorities regarding your use of the Sites; any action taken in connection with copyright or other intellectual property owners; any errors or omissions in a Sites’ technical operation; or any damage to any user’s computer, hardware, computer software, mobile phone or other mobile devices, modem or other equipment or technology including, without limitation, 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, without limitation, damages for lost profits, loss of goodwill, loss of data, work stoppage, accuracy of results, or computer failure or malfunction, even if foreseeable or even if the Chompmark parties have been advised of or should have known of the possibility of such damages, whether in an action of contract, negligence, strict liability or tort (including, without limitation, whether caused in whole or in part by negligence, acts of god, telecommunications failure, or theft or destruction of the Site).
In no event will the Chompmark parties be liable to you or anyone else for loss, damage or injury, including, without limitation, death or personal injury.
