Limitation of Liability
13.1. To the extent permitted by law, we (and our group companies, suppliers, partners, and agents) will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, punitive, or consequential damages (including loss of data, revenue, profits, or business opportunities, or personal injury or death), whether arising in contract, warranty, tort, product liability, or otherwise, and even if we’ve been advised of the possibility of damages in advance. Our liability (and the liability of each of our group companies, suppliers, partners, and agents) to you or any third parties under any circumstance is limited to the greater of one hundred dollars. Some jurisdictions don’t allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, so some of the above may not apply to you.
Applicable Law and Dispute Resolution
Provisions of this section apply to the relations between users and us in regard to use of the Website and Services. 
With respect to all legal disputes under the Terms and interpretation of the Terms the Parties shall be governed by Cyprus laws.
Any dispute between you and us arising out of the usage of the Website or Services, the formation, performance, interpretation, nullification, termination or invalidation of the Terms, or arising therefrom or related thereto in any manner whatsoever, shall be settled by courts located in Cyprus competent to resolve the dispute according to Cyprus laws. 
Before bringing a claim against us, you agree to try to resolve the dispute by negotiation. Following this, please send us an email with your arguments. We will try to resolve the dispute informally by answering your email. If a dispute is not resolved within 15 days after submission, you or we may bring formal proceedings.
Amendments
We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to change or modify any part of the Terms at any time. We will notify registered users in 2 days by email before the date when amendments to the Terms or new version of the Terms gain legal force. 
Your subsequent use of the Website after any such changes constitutes your acceptance of the latest terms of the Terms. 
Miscellaneous
The Terms replace any other arrangements between the Parties as well as all prior versions thereof.

Should any provision of the Terms (a clause or a statement within a clause) be declared invalid or unenforceable, it should not affect the remaining provisions in whole or part.
Our failure to exercise any right or provision in the Terms should not be considered as a waiver of such right or provision of the Terms.
