We also make no representations or warranties for any linked sites, and we are not responsible for your use of these sites.

In some cases, the content provided on the site may represent the opinions and judgements of suppliers or users, as is the case with user content. Neither we nor our affiliates endorse or can be held liable for the accuracy or reliability of any opinion, advice or statement posted on this site by any person other than our authorized employees acting in that capacity.

We are not obligated to ascertain the identity of every person who signs into or uses the site. We therefore decline all responsibility whatsoever in case of identity theft or any misuse of your identity or information.

By using the Site, you agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Solotech, its parent companies, subsidiaries and affiliates, as well as their respective officers, directors, employees, contractors and suppliers, from any claims, damages, liability, loss, fees and expenses, including but not limited to legal fees, arising from or related to your use of the Site or of any service provided on or via the Site, downloading, posting, emailing or sending user content or any other material by you or by users you have authorized, your violation of any Proprietary Hardware, or any violation on your part of these Terms of Use, of our Privacy Policy or any other policy posted from time to time on the Site and applicable to your use of the Site.

We reserve the right to assume the exclusive defence and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, and you agree to cooperate as fully as reasonably required in the defence of any claim, in which event you agree to help and cooperate with us in asserting any available defences.

19. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

Regardless of the form of action, whether in contract, tort, strict or legal liability, in no event shall we and our subsidiaries, including but not limited to our or their directors, managers, employees, agents, partners, suppliers, content providers, successors and assigns, be held liable for any direct, indirect, special, exemplary, punitive, incidental or consequential damages (including, but not limited to, damages for business interruption losses, unnecessary expenses, loss of profits, loss of anticipated profits, loss of programs, replacement costs for equipment, software or other goods and services, or loss of archives, information or data), or any other damage arising from or related to: (i) the availability of, use of, dependence on, or inability to use the site or any application, content or any other material contained in, or that can be accessed or downloaded from the site; (ii) any claim (including for material damage suffered by your device or computer system) arising out of errors, omissions or other technical inaccuracies, or destructive properties of the site or linked sites, or to any information, software, product, service or other material available on or via the site or the linked sites, even if we or our subsidiaries, or our directors, managers, employees, agents, partners, suppliers, content providers, successors and assigns are aware of or have been notified of the possibility of such damages. Some provinces or jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages; in such provinces and jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the extend permitted by law (limiting our liability to you to the minimum authorized by applicable law).

You expressly agree that we are not responsible for user submissions or the defamatory, offensive or illegal conduct of any third party and that the risks or damages arising out of the foregoing are your sole responsibility. Your sole and exclusive remedy for any of the aforementioned claims, or in the event of a dispute of any kind directed against us or one of our subsidiaries, is to discontinue using the site.

20. SEVERABILITY
