IN NO EVENT SHALL GBI, ITS SUBSIDIARIES AND ITS AFFILIATES OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE EMPLOYEES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, AGENTS, MERCHANTS, PARTNERS, THIRD-PARTY PROVIDERS OR LICENSORS, OR ANY OF THEIR OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES OR AGENTS, BE LIABLE FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY OTHER DAMAGES OTHER THAN DIRECT DAMAGES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OF USE INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, (A) the Site, Services or Content (B) YOUR USE OF THE Site, Services, Content, OR OTHER INFORMATION CONTAINED IN OR AVAILABLE THROUGH THE Site, Services, Content; (C) YOUR INABILITY TO USE THE Site, Services, Content; (D) MODIFICATION OR REMOVAL OF CONTENT OR SERVICES; (E) MODIFICATION OR REMOVAL OF USER SUBMISSIONS; OR (D) THESE TERMS OF USE. THE FOREGOING LIMITATION APPLIES EVEN IF GBI KNOWS OR SHOULD KNOW THAT OTHER DAMAGES ARE POSSIBLE OR THAT DIRECT DAMAGES ARE NOT A SATISFACTORY REMEDY. THE LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION APPLY TO YOU ONLY TO THE EXTENT THAT THEY ARE LAWFUL IN YOUR JURISDICTION. YOU WAIVE ANY PROVISIONS OF ANY STATE, PROVINCE, OR COUNTRY LAW THAT LIMIT OR PROHIBIT A GENERAL RELEASE, INCLUDING, IF APPLICABLE, SECTION 1542 OF THE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE, WHICH STATES: “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.”

IN NO EVENT WILL GBI’S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY AND ALL CLAIMS YOU MAY HAVE AGAINST GBI IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS OF USE OR YOUR USE OF THE SITE, CONTENT OR SERVICES EXCEED $100. YOU AGREE THAT ANY CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SITE, CONTENT OR SERVICES MUST COMMENCE WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES, OR THE CAUSE OF ACTION IS PERMANENTLY BARRED. BECAUSE SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, ALL OR A PORTION OF THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT IF YOU INCUR ANY DAMAGES THAT ARISE OUT OF GBI PARTIES’ ACTS OR OMISSIONS, THE DAMAGES, IF ANY, ARE NOT IRREPARABLE AND ARE NOT SUFFICIENT TO ENTITLE YOU TO AN INJUNCTION OR OTHER EQUITABLE RELIEF RESTRICTING EXPLOITATION OF ANY WEBSITE, PROPERTY, PRODUCT, PROGRAM, OR OTHER AUDIO/VISUAL CONTENT OWNED OR CONTROLLED BY GBI PARTIES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION the Site and Services (INCLUDING THOSE INCORPORATING USER SUBMISSIONS).
SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
