Limitation of liability
You acknowledge and agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, regardless of the form of action, whether in contract, tort (including negligence) or otherwise, in no event will The Guardian Foundation or the Guardian Companies, including, without limitation, their respective officers, directors, employees, successors and assigns, be liable to you or any other party for any direct or indirect loss, damage, cost, expense or liability of any kind (“loss”) arising in any way out of or in connection with the availability, use, reliance on, or inability to use The Guardian Foundation Site (or any The Guardian Foundation Content), including (without limitation): (i) damages for business interruption, loss of business and other profits, loss of programs, cost of replacing equipment or software or loss of records, information or data, loss of use of data, loss of revenue, loss of goodwill, loss of customers, loss of or damage to reputation, loss of capital, downtime costs, loss under or in relation to any other contract, or loss of anticipated savings or benefits; (ii) any indirect, special, exemplary, punitive, incidental or consequential loss; or (iii) any loss attributable to errors, omissions, or other inaccuracies in The Guardian Foundation Site. The exclusion of liability in this section applies even if The Guardian Foundation shall have been advised of the possibility of such loss.
Because some states or jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for particular kinds of loss, in such states or jurisdictions, The Guardian Foundation’s liability shall be limited to the extent permitted by law (thereby minimising The Guardian Foundation’s liability to you to the lowest amount that applicable law permits).
