DISCLAIMER
YOUR USE OF THIS SITE AND SITE MATERIAL IS ENTIRELY AT YOUR OWN RISK.
SAPUTO TAKES REASONABLE STEPS TO PROTECT INFORMATION FROM UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS, COLLECTION, USE, DISCLOSURE, COPYING, MODIFICATION OR DISPOSAL IN A MANNER COMMENSURATE WITH ITS SENSITIVITY, VALUE AND CRITICALITY. YOU EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT ALL SITE CONTENT IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" FOR YOUR USE. THE SITE CONTENT IS PROVIDED WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, WARRANTIES OF TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR THE WARRANTIES STATED IN THE CIVIL CODE OF QUEBEC OR OTHERWISE, OTHER THAN THOSE WARRANTIES WHICH ARE INCAPABLE OF EXCLUSION, RESTRICTION OR MODIFICATION UNDER APPLICABLE LAW. NEITHER SAPUTO OR ITS AFFILIATED COMPANIES, NOR OUR LICENSORS, OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES AND OTHER REPRESENTATIVES MAKE ANY WARRANTY THAT THE SITE WILL BE AVAILABLE AT ANY PARTICULAR TIME OR LOCATION; THAT THE SITE DOES NOT INCLUDE ANY DEFECTS OR ERRORS AND THAT ANY DEFECTS OR ERRORS WILL BE CORRECTED; THAT THE SITE CONTENT IS FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS; OR THAT YOU WILL ACHIEVE SUCCESSFUL RESULTS FROM FOLLOWING ANY INSTRUCTIONS, DIRECTIONS OR RECOMMENDATIONS ON THE SITE.
SOME JURISDICTIONS MAY NOT ALLOW THE DISCLAIMER OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
IF YOU ARE A RESIDENT OF A JURISDICTION THAT REQUIRES A SPECIFIC STATEMENT REGARDING RELEASE THEN THE FOLLOWING APPLIES. FOR EXAMPLE, CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS MUST, AS A CONDITION OF THE TERMS OF USE, WAIVE THE APPLICABILITY OF CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 1542, WHICH STATES, “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.” YOU HEREBY WAIVE THIS SECTION OF THE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE AND ANY SIMILAR PROVISION IN LAW, REGULATION, OR CODE THAT HAS THE SAME INTENT OR EFFECT AS THE AFOREMENTIONED RELEASE.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL SAPUTO, OUR DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR REPRESENTATIVES, OUR LICENSORS, OR ANY OTHER PARTY INVOLVED IN CREATING, PRODUCING OR DELIVERING THIS SITE BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES THAT RESULT FROM THE USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE SITE OR FROM ANY ERRORS OR INFORMATION PROVIDED OR OMITTED ON THE SITE. THIS LIMITATION APPLIES WHETHER THE ALLEGED LIABILITY IS BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, EXTRA CONTRACTUAL OR ANY OTHER BASIS, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE. BECAUSE SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OUR LIABILITY IN SUCH JURISDICTIONS SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
YOU AGREE THAT THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY TOGETHER WITH THE OTHER PROVISIONS IN THE TERMS OF USE THAT LIMIT LIABILITY ARE ESSENTIAL AND THAT SAPUTO WOULD NOT BE WILLING TO GRANT YOU THE RIGHTS SET FORTH IN THE TERMS OF USE BUT FOR SUCH LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY; YOU ARE AGREEING TO THESE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY TO INDUCE SAPUTO TO GRANT YOU THE RIGHTS SET FORTH IN THE TERMS OF USE.
SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY, SO THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Saputo and our employees, agents, representatives, officers and directors (each, an “Indemnitee”) from and against all liabilities, claims and expenses, including attorney's fees, that arise from your use or misuse of the Site or Site Content or your violation of the Terms of Use. We reserve the right, at our own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which event you will cooperate with us in asserting any available defenses. You are not permitted to settle, or consent to any entry of judgment in, any asserted claim or action that would entitle an Indemnitee to indemnification without Saputo’s written consent.
