We provide the Website, CFP content, and all other information and materials obtained on and/or comprising the Website “as is” and “as available,” without any express or implied representations or warranties of any kind. We disclaim, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, all express, implied, and statutory representations and warranties with respect to the website, CFP content, and all other information and materials obtained on and/or comprising the Website, including without limitation, warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, satisfactory quality, suitability, timeliness, reliability, security, non-infringement, and title. We do not guarantee or make any representation or warranty that the Website, CFP content, and/or other information or materials obtained on and comprising the Website will be safe or secure, accurate, complete, reliable, current, error-free, uninterrupted, timely, or free of viruses or other harmful components, nor that any particular software or hardware will be compatible with the Website.

We make no representation or warranty that communications through the Website will be secure and not intercepted by a third party. Company shall have no responsibility or liability whatsoever for failure of or damage to electronic or mechanical equipment or communication, telephone or other connection problems, computer viruses, unauthorized access or interception of data, theft, or errors.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing paragraph or any other disclaimers or limitation of liability in these Terms, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, company will not be liable for any direct, consequential, special, multiplied, exemplary, punitive, indirect, or incidental damages (including without limitation damages for loss of profits; loss of use; loss of data; loss of security of your information; or unauthorized interception of any such information by third parties) arising out of or in connection with your use of or inability to use, or any other matter relating to, the Website, CFP content, or other information or materials on and/or comprising the Website, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages or losses.

Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if applicable law prohibits the limitation or exclusion of a party’s liability with respect to death or personal injury caused by such party’s negligence, fraud, or any other matter, then such party’s liability will not be limited or excluded to the extent of such prohibition under such applicable law.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you expressly waive California Civil Code § 1542 (and any similar laws in other jurisdictions), which says: “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.”
