DISCLAIMERS OF LIABILITY; NO WARRANTY

THE WEBSITE MAY CONTAIN ERRORS AND DEFECTS OR MAY SUFFER INTERMITTENT DOWNTIME AND IS PROVIDED “AS IS,” “AS-AVAILABLE,” WITH ALL FAULTS, AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, DILIGENT AND ITS AFFILIATES, LICENSORS, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS (COLLECTIVELY REFERRED TO AS “DILIGENT” FOR THE PURPOSES OF THIS SECTION) HEREBY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS WITH RESPECT TO THE WEBSITE,  WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES AND/OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY; SATISFACTORY QUALITY; FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE; NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD-PARTY RIGHTS; THAT ACCESS TO OR OPERATION OF THE WEBSITE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, VIRUS FREE, OR ERROR FREE; THAT THE WEBSITE AND OUR SERVERS ARE SECURE; OR AS TO THE ACCURACY, RELIABILITY, QUALITY, OR CONTENT OF ANY INFORMATION, SERVICE, OR PRODUCT PROVIDED ON OR THROUGH THE WEBSITE; AS WELL AS ANY WARRANTIES THAT MAY ARISE FROM COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, OR USAGE OF TRADE; PROVIDED THAT THIS SECTION SHALL NOT OPERATE TO EXCLUDE OR DISCLAIM THOSE WARRANTIES WHICH ARE INCAPABLE OF EXCLUSION, RESTRICTION, OR MODIFICATION UNDER THE LAWS APPLICABLE TO THESE TERMS OF USE.

You will send your notice to DILIGENT PHARMA INC., at privacy@diligentpharma.com . If we cannot resolve a Claim informally, you and DILIGENT each agree to submit to personal jurisdiction in the State of Delaware and agree that any and all Claims either of us asserts shall be exclusively brought in the appropriate court in Delaware, provided that neither you nor DILIGENT shall be precluded from filing a Claim in Delaware small claims court for disputes within the small claims court jurisdictional level.
