Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or limitation of liability, so some of the above may not apply to you.

15. Severability & Entire Agreement

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that these Terms will otherwise remain in full force and effect.
