TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL HOT FASHION SHOE, ITS OWNERS, OPERATORS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRIBUTORS, OR AFFILIATES BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, GOODWILL, USE, DATA, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF, OR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE, THE SITE, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, AND WHETHER OR NOT WE HAVE BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, OUR TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF THE SITE, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100 USD), OR (B) THE TOTAL AMOUNT, IF ANY, PAID BY YOU TO US IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM. AS THE SITE IS PROVIDED FREE OF CHARGE TO USERS, THIS AMOUNT WILL IN MOST CASES BE ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100 USD).

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages or warranties. In such jurisdictions, our liability shall be limited to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

12. Indemnification

15. Governing Law, Arbitration & Class Action Waiver

Governing Law. These Terms and any dispute arising out of or related to them or the Site shall be governed by the laws of the United States and the state in which the Company is organized, without regard to conflict of law principles.

Agreement to Arbitrate. You and Hot Fashion Shoe agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Site shall be resolved through binding individual arbitration, rather than in court, except that either party may bring an individual action in small claims court. The arbitration shall be conducted by a recognized arbitration organization under its rules then in effect, and judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.

Class Action Waiver. YOU AND HOT FASHION SHOE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. UNLESS BOTH PARTIES AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING.

If any part of this arbitration agreement is found unenforceable, the remainder shall remain in full force and effect, and the unenforceable portion shall be severed. Nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking injunctive or equitable relief for claims related to intellectual property infringement, or from pursuing violations of computer fraud, unauthorized access, or similar laws in a court of competent jurisdiction.

16. Severability & Entire Agreement

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision shall be deemed severable and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, Disclaimer, and Affiliate Disclosure, constitute the entire agreement between you and Hot Fashion Shoe regarding your use of the Site.
