To the maximum extent permitted by law, under no circumstances, including negligence, shall Samsung be liable, whether in contract or tort, for any direct, indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, loss of profit, revenue, interest, business or corruption of data, attorney fees, expenses, or any other damages arising out of, or in connection with, any information contained in, or as a result of, the use of the website, any material or service accessed by you or any third party on the website, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.
Certain jurisdictions may not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation or exclusion of liability for certain damages. Therefore, some of the above limitations in the general disclaimer and limitation of liability sections may not apply to you.
You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Samsung Parties from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) that the Samsung Parties may incur as a result of or arising from your (or anyone using your account’s) use of the Website, Materials or Services or violation of these Terms.
