We are not liable for any loss of money, goodwill or reputation, or any special, indirect or consequential damages arising, directly or indirectly, out of your use of or your inability to use our sites, services, and tools.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the disclaimer of warranties or exclusion of damages, so such disclaimers and exclusions may not apply to you.
Regardless of the previous paragraphs, if we are found to be liable, our liability to you or to any third party is limited by the greater of (a) the total fees you paid us in the 12 months prior to the action giving rise to the liability, (b) the total fees paid by you to WebMagic directly related to the specific instance of service associated with or to the liability, or (c) One Hundred Dollars (US$100).

The Terms (including any policies, licenses, guidelines or amendments that may be presented to your form time to time) constitute the complete and exclusive agreement regarding the subject matter hereof between you and WebMagic and govern your use of WebMagic services, superseding any prior agreements between you and WebMagic for the use of WebMagic services.

Headings are for reference purposes only and do not limit the scope or extent of such section.
WebMagic's failure to act with respect to a breach by you or others does not waive our right to act with respect to subsequent or similar breaches. We do not guarantee we will take action against all breaches of this Agreement.
If any provision of the Terms is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties' intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of the Terms remain in full force and effect.
You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of WebMagic services or the Terms must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred.
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, excluding its conflict of laws provision. The parties hereto agree that any action, suit or other legal proceeding involving any differences, controversies or other disputes in any way related to or arising out of this Agreement or related to any matter concerning our web sites or other services shall be litigated exclusively in the United States District Court for the Central District of California, or the California state court for the County of Los Angeles, and the parties hereby consent to the jurisdiction of such courts in respect of any such action, suit or other legal proceeding.
