Users may have additional rights as a consumer under local law that this Agreement cannot change.
You acknowledge that Kiteops cannot provide the App at a reasonable price without limiting its liability as set forth herein, so, as an express condition of use of the Site or App, you agree to limit Kiteops's potential liability to you as described in this clause. This limitation of liability is a fundamental element of the basis of the bargain between Kiteops and you as a User.
Kiteops does not: (i) guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of any information on the Site or App, or (ii) adopt, endorse or accept responsibility for the accuracy or reliability of any opinion, advice, or statement made by any party that appears on the Site.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, Kiteops shall not be liable for any consequential, special, or incidental damages or lost profits resulting from your access to or use of the Site or App, whether based on breach of contract, breach of warranty, tort (including negligence), or any other legal theory.

These limitations also apply even if this remedy does not fully compensate you for any losses, or fails its essential purpose; or even if Kiteops knew or should have known about the possibility of the damages.
Some states, provinces and countries do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to Users in these jurisdictions.
As a consequence of the global nature of the Internet, you agree to comply with all local rules and laws regarding user conduct on the Internet and acceptable content. Specifically, you agree to comply with all applicable laws regarding obscene and indecent content and communications and those regarding the transmission of technical data exported from the United States or the country in which you reside.
