The Studiate Parties do not warrant that your use of the Service is lawful in any particular jurisdiction, and the StudiateParties specifically disclaim such warranties.

  1. To the extent not prohibited by law, in no event shall the Studiate Parties be liable to you for any loss or damages of any kind (including, without limitation, for any direct, indirect, economic, exemplary, special, punitive, incidental or consequential losses or damages) that are directly or indirectly related to:

  2. Studiate is not a party in the agreements between Users and is therefore not responsible for the agreements between Users. In the event of a conflict, Users must resolve this themselves.
  3. In no event will the Studiate Parties be liable to you or anyone else for loss, damage or injury, including, without limitation, death or personal injury.

Studiate is not responsible for the actions, content, information, or data of third parties, and you release us, our directors, officers, employees, and agents from any claims and damages, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with any claim you have against any such third parties.
  6. You agree that any claim you may have arising out of or related to your relationship with Studiate must be filed within one year after such claim arose; otherwise, your claim is permanently barred.
