Without limiting the above limitation, this limitation specifically applies to:
Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so this limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.
The limitation or exclusion also may not apply to you because your country may not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental, consequential or other damages.
You could be held liable if your use of the site is contrary to these terms, the Privacy Policy, or the other terms referenced on this page. You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold LPP harmless from and against any claims or liabilities arising out of your use of the site contrary to these terms.
If you are accessing the site in the United States, Texas law governs the interpretation of these terms, regardless of conflict of laws principles. The laws of the state where you live govern all other claims, including claims under state consumer protection and unfair competition laws. If you are accessing the site outside of the United States, the laws of that country apply. These terms describe certain legal rights. You may have other rights under the laws of your state or country. These terms do not change your rights under the laws of your state or country if the laws of your state or country do not permit it to do so.
These terms, LPP’s Privacy Policy and the other terms referenced on this page, including those that are for specific areas of the site, constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the site.
If any provision of these terms is legally invalid, these terms shall endure except for the invalid provision. However, if a court determines that any provision is invalid, the court may limit the provision, delete specific words.
