  2. Limitation of Liability

    6.1 Overview

    This section outlines the limitations on liability for GCAR and the Advertiser in connection with the use of the Platform and its services. It is important to understand that the parties’ liability is restricted to the fullest extent permitted by law, and the Platform is provided on an “as-is” and “as-available” basis without any warranties or guarantees.

    6.2 No Warranties

    GCAR provides the Platform and its services on an “as-is,” “as-available,” and “without faults” basis. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, GCAR disclaims all express, implied, and statutory warranties, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, freedom from computer viruses, non-infringement of proprietary rights, and any warranties arising out of the course of dealing or usage of trade.

    6.3 Limitation of GCAR’s Liability

    GCAR and its affiliates, officers, employees, agents, and licensors shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages, including but not limited to, damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data, or other intangible losses, resulting from:

    a. Your access to or use of, or inability to access or use, the Platform or its services;
    b. Any conduct or content of any third party on the Platform, including without limitation, any defamatory, offensive, or illegal conduct of other users or third parties;

    6.4 Indemnification

    As an Advertiser, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless GCAR, its affiliates, officers, employees, agents, and licensors from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, or expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, arising out of or in any way connected with your access to or use of the Platform and its services, your violation of these Terms, or your infringement or violation of any third-party rights, including intellectual property rights.

    6.5 Exceptions

    Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages. Accordingly, some of the above limitations may not apply to you.
