Maximum Liability
Our total liability to you for all damages, losses, and causes of action (whether in contract, tort, or otherwise) shall not exceed $100 USD or the amount you paid us in the last 12 months, whichever is greater. Since our Service is free, this effectively limits our liability to $100 USD.
Jurisdictional Variations
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation may not apply to you. In such jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

- Your violation of any term of these Terms
- Your violation of any third party right, including without limitation any copyright, property, or privacy right
- Any claim that your use of the Service caused damage to a third party
