The Site may contain links to third-party websites, advertisements, products, or services that are not owned or controlled by AWSM Times. We do not endorse, monitor, or assume responsibility for the content, privacy practices, accuracy, or any aspect of such third-party properties. Your interactions with third parties are solely between you and them.

10. Editorial Content; No Professional Advice

Content published on the Site is for general informational and entertainment purposes only. It does not constitute legal, financial, medical, investment, or other professional advice. Opinions expressed in editorial content are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect those of AWSM Times. You should consult appropriate professionals before acting on any information found on the Site.

11. Disclaimers

THE SITE AND ALL CONTENT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, RELIABILITY, OR AVAILABILITY. AWSM TIMES DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SITE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, SECURE, OR FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS. YOU USE THE SITE AT YOUR SOLE RISK.

12. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL AWSM TIMES, AWESOME TV, OR THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AFFILIATES, AGENTS, LICENSORS, OR CONTRIBUTORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES — INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, USE, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES — ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE SITE OR CONTENT. IN NO EVENT SHALL OUR TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY EXCEED ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100). SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU IN FULL.

13. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless AWSM Times, Awesome TV, and their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates, agents, and licensors from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, losses, costs, expenses, or fees (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to: (a) your violation of these Terms; (b) your User Content; (c) your use or misuse of the Site; or (d) your violation of any law or third-party right.

14. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Site at any time, without notice, for any reason, including suspected violation of these Terms. Upon termination, all provisions that by their nature should survive — including ownership, warranty disclaimers, limitation of liability, and dispute provisions — shall survive.

15. Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles. Subject to Section 16, you agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue for any dispute shall be the state or federal courts located in New York County, New York.

16. Dispute Resolution; Arbitration; Class-Action Waiver

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY. Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Site shall be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by JAMS under its applicable rules, conducted in New York County, New York, in English. You and AWSM Times waive any right to a jury trial. YOU AND AWSM TIMES AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. The arbitrator may not consolidate claims or preside over any form of representative proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek injunctive or equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to protect intellectual property rights. If the class-action waiver is found unenforceable, then the entirety of this Section 16 shall be null and void, but the rest of these Terms shall remain in effect.

17. Modifications to the Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. Material changes will be communicated by posting updated Terms with a revised Effective Date. Your continued use of the Site after such changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

18. Severability; Entire Agreement; Waiver

If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and AWSM Times regarding the Site. Failure to enforce any provision shall not be deemed a waiver of that or any other provision.
