5. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES; LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
To the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, you expressly agree that the use of the Software is at your sole risk and that the entire risk as to satisfactory quality, performance, accuracy and effort is with you. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, all materials and Software are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis with all faults and without warranty of any kind, and Bobbates LLC hereby disclaims all warranties and conditions with respect to the Software, either express or implied, including, but not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability, of satisfactory quality, of fitness for a particular purpose, of accuracy, of quiet enjoyment, and non-infringement of third party rights. Without limiting the foregoing, Bobbates LLC makes no warranty that (a) the Software will meet your requirements, (b) the Software will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free, (c) the Software will be interoperable or compatible with other software or (d) the results that may be obtained from the use of the Software will be effective, accurate or reliable. No oral or written information or advice given by Bobbates LLC or its authorized representative(s) shall create a warranty. At some point in the future the Software may go out of date, and Bobbates LLC makes no commitment to update such Software. The disclaimers of liability contained in this section apply to any damages or injury caused by any failure of performance, error, omission, interruption, deletion, defect, delay in operation or transmission, computer virus, communication line failure, theft or destruction or unauthorized access to, alteration of, or use of the Software, whether for breach of contract, tortious behavior, negligence, or under any other cause of action. The use of the Software or the downloading or other acquisition of any materials through or in connection with the Software is done at your own discretion and risk and with your agreement that you will be solely responsible for any damage to your computer or mobile device system or loss of data that results from such activities.
Bobbates LLC makes no representations about the suitability of the information contained in the Software, information and/or related graphics published as part of the Software for any purpose. The Software, information and related graphics published as part of the Software may include technical inaccuracies or typographical errors. You understand and agree that temporary interruptions of the Software may occur as normal events. You further understand and agree that Bobbates LLC has no control over third party networks you may access in the course of the use of the Software, and therefore, delays and disruption of other network transmissions are completely beyond the control of Bobbates LLC. YOU ACKOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOUR EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR ANY DISPUTE WITH BOBBATES LLC IS TO STOP USING THE SOFTWARE. In no case shall any liability of Bobbates LLC to you exceed the amount that you paid to Bobbates LLC or its affiliates and/or designees for the applicable Software giving rise to any such liability. In no event shall Bobbates LLC or its affiliates be liable to you or any third party for any special, punitive, incidental, indirect or consequential damages of any kind, or any damages whatsoever, including, without limitation, those resulting from loss of use, data or profits, whether or not Bobbates LLC has been advised of the possibility of such damages, and on any theory of liability, arising out of or in connection with the use of the Software, including damages to property, loss of goodwill, computer or mobile device failure or malfunction and, to the extent permitted by law, damages for personal injuries, even if Bobbates LLC has been advised of the possibility of such damages. Because some states or jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or the limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, in such states or jurisdictions, the liability of Bobbates LLC and its affiliates and designees shall be limited to the fullest extent permitted by law. Residents of California are entitled to the following specific consumer rights information: you may contact the Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Software of the Department of Consumer Affairs by mail at 400 R St., Suite 1080, Sacramento, California, 95814, or by telephone at 800-952-5210. California residents expressly agree to waive California civil code Sec 1542, which states, “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.”
6. INDEMNIFICATION
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold Licensor, its partners, licensors, affiliates, contractors, officers, directors, employees, and agents harmless from all liabilities, claims, damages, losses, costs and expenses, including attorney’s fees, that arise directly or indirectly from (a) your acts and omissions to act in connection with the Software; (b) any violation of the Agreement by you; or (c) any allegation that any content that you make available via the Software infringes or otherwise violates the copyright, trademark, trade secret, privacy or other intellectual property or other rights of any third party.

7. INTERNATONAL USE
Although the Software may be accessible worldwide, Bobbates LLC makes no representation that the Software or related materials are appropriate or available for use in locations outside the United States, and accessing them from territories where the content is illegal is prohibited. Those who choose to access the Software from other locations do so on their own initiative and are responsible for compliance with local laws, if and to the extent local laws are applicable.

Upon termination, you must destroy all copies of the Software. The termination of this Agreement will not affect the rights of Bobbates LLC or your obligations arising under this Agreement.
9. EQUITABLE REMEDIES
You hereby agree that if the terms of this Agreement are not specifically enforced, Licensor will be irreparably damaged, and therefore you agree that Licensor shall be entitled, without bond, other security, or proof of damages, to appropriate equitable remedies with respect to any of part of this Agreement, including temporary and permanent injunctive relief, in addition to any other available remedies.
10. MISCELLANEOUS
This agreement represents the complete agreement between you and Bobbates LLC concerning the Software and supersedes all prior agreements and representations, warranties or understandings between you and Bobbates LLC (whether negligently or innocently made but excluding those made fraudulently), regarding the same subject matter. Bobbates LLC reserves the right to amend this Agreement at any time, at its sole discretion. If any part of the Agreement is determined to be invalid or unenforceable pursuant to applicable law including, but not limited to, the warranty disclaimers and liability limitations set forth above, then the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed superseded by a valid, enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision and the remainder of the Agreement shall continue in effect. No failure or delay by Bobbates LLC to exercise any provision of the Agreement or any right or remedy provided under this EULA or by law shall constitute a waiver of that or any other provision, right or remedy, nor shall it preclude or restrict the further exercise of that or any other provision, right or remedy. No single or partial exercise of such provision, right or remedy shall preclude or restrict the further exercise of that or any other provision, right or remedy.
Bobbates LLC may assign this Agreement, in whole or in part, at any time. Notwithstanding, you may not assign, transfer or sublicense any or all of your rights or obligations under the Agreement without the express prior written consent of Bobbates LLC. The performance by Bobbates LLC of the Agreement is subject to existing laws and legal process, and nothing contained in the Agreement is in derogation of the right of Bobbates LLC to comply with governmental, court, and law enforcement requests or requirements relating to your use of the Software or information provided to or gathered by Bobbates LLC with respect to such use.
