In no event will the total liability of the TUEX Parties to you for all damages, losses or causes of action exceed the amounts paid by you, if any, to us in the past six months, or $250, whichever is greater. The prior limitation on damages is not intended to limit TUEX Parties’ obligation to pay prevailing party costs or fees if recoverable pursuant to applicable law. The limitations set forth in this section will not limit or exclude the TUEX Parties’ liability for personal injury or property damage caused by the TUEX Parties, or for the TUEX Parties’ gross negligence, fraud or intentional, willful, malicious or reckless misconduct. This section shall survive any expiration or termination of your relationship with us.
You agree that in the event you incur any damages, losses or injuries that arise out of our acts or omissions, the damages, if any, caused to you are not irreparable or sufficient to entitle you to an injunction preventing any exploitation of any web site, property, product, service, or other content owned or controlled by us, and you will have no rights to enjoin or restrain the development, production, distribution, advertising, exhibition or exploitation of any web site, property, product, service, or other content owned or controlled by us.
By accessing the Service, you understand that you may be waiving rights with respect to claims that are at this time unknown or unsuspected.
