IN NO CASE SHALL THE LIABILITY OF ENGRADE, ITS OWNERS, SUBSIDIARIES, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, ATTORNEYS, AFFILIATES, AGENTS, REPRESENTATIVES, AND LICENSORS TO YOU EXCEED THE AMOUNT THAT YOU PAID TO ENGRADE FOR THE SERVICES.
BECAUSE SOME STATES OR JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR THE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, EXEMPLARY, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, IN SUCH STATES OR JURISDICTIONS, THE LIABILITY OF ENGRADE, ITS OWNERS, SUBSIDIARIES, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, ATTORNEYS, AFFILIATES, AGENTS, REPRESENTATIVES, AND LICENSORS SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE FULL EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
17. Indemnification. Upon Engrade’s request, you agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Engrade, its owners, subsidiaries, directors, employees, attorneys, affiliates, agents, representatives, and licensors against any claim for any liabilities, damages, losses, judgments and expenses, including attorneys' fees, that arise from or relate to: (a) a breach of these Terms by you; (b) any User Content provided by you on or through the Services; and (c) your use or misuse of the Services or Engrade Content.
Engrade reserves the right, at its own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to defense by you. This Section shall survive termination of these Terms.
18. Termination of the Service. Engrade reserves the right to stop providing the Services to you at any time for any reason without prior notice.
19. Entire Agreement; Notice; Waiver; Severability. These Terms constitute the whole legal agreement between Engrade and you and completely replace any prior agreements between Engrade and you in relation to the Services. You agree that the company may provide you with notices, including those regarding changes to these Terms, by email, regular mail, or postings on the Services. The failure of Engrade to exercise or enforce any right or provision in these Terms will not be a waiver of any such right or provision. Any waiver of any provision of these Terms will be effective only if in a writing signed by Engrade. If any part of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, that portion shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with applicable law to reflect, as nearly as possible, the original intentions of Engrade, and the remaining portions shall remain in full force and effect.
20. Third-Party Beneficiaries. You agree that these Terms are not intended to confer and do not confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than the parties to these Terms.
21. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Venue. These Terms will be governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to its conflict of laws provisions. Engrade and you agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located within the county of San Diego, California to resolve any legal matter arising from these Terms. Notwithstanding this, Engrade will still be allowed to apply for injunctive remedies (or an equivalent type of urgent legal relief) in any jurisdiction.
