To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you will defend, indemnify and hold harmless Integrated Proteins and its affiliates, and any and all officers, directors, agents, partners, employees, independent contractors, service providers and consultants thereof, and their respective directors, employees and agents (individually and collectively, the “Integrated Proteins Parties”), from and against any losses, claims, damages, demands, costs, liabilities and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees) (“Claims”) arising out of or related to (a) your access to or use of our website; (b) your User Content or Feedback; (c) your violation of these Terms; (d) your violation, misappropriation or infringement of any rights of another (including intellectual property rights or privacy rights); or (e) your conduct in connection with our website.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Integrated Proteins Parties will not be liable to you under any theory of liability—whether based in contract, tort, negligence, warranty or otherwise—for any special, indirect, incidental or consequential damages, or lost profits, even if we or the other Integrated Proteins Parties have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

In no event shall our aggregate liability, whether in contract, warranty, tort (including negligence, whether active, passive or imputed), product liability, strict liability or other theory, arising out of or relating to these Terms exceed the greater of any compensation you pay, if any, us for access to or use of our website, or fifty dollars ($50.00).

The limitations set forth in this Section will not limit or exclude liability for our or the other Integrated Proteins Parties’ gross negligence, fraud or intentional misconduct, or for any other matters in which liability cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law. Additionally, some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you.
