The foregoing does not limit any manufacturer's express warranty provided with any products purchased on Our Site.

This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other legal rights that vary from state to state.

Limitation of Liability

Ellison will not be liable for any damages of any kind arising from the use of Our Site, including but not limited to, lost profits or any special, incidental, indirect, consequential or reliance damages arising out of or in connection with Our Site, Our services or this agreement, under any legal theory, even if We have been advised of the possibility of such damages and notwithstanding the failure of essential purposes of any limited remedy. You hereby acknowledge that this paragraph applies to all content, products and services available through Our Site. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. Your use of Our Site shall be consideration for this limitation of liability.

 

Severability

If any of these conditions shall be deemed invalid, void, or for any reason unenforceable, that condition shall be deemed severable and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining condition.

The arbitrators' award shall be binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no arbitration under this Agreement shall be joined to an arbitration involving any other party subject to this Agreement, whether through class arbitration proceedings or otherwise.
