6. Disclaimer of Warranties and Liability

(1) The materials on our platform are provided on an “as is” basis. The Vancouver Linux User Group’s website and services make no warranties, expressed or implied, and hereby disclaims and negates all other warranties including, without limitation, implied warranties or conditions of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement of intellectual property or other violation of rights.

(3) In no event shall the Vancouver Linux User Group’s website and services or their suppliers be liable for any damages (including, without limitation, damages for loss of data or profit, or due to business interruption) arising out of the use or inability to use the materials on the Vancouver Linux User Group’s website and services, even if the Vancouver Linux User Group’s website and services or a Vancouver Linux User Group’s website and services-authorized representative has been notified orally or in writing of the possibility of such damage. Because some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on implied warranties, or limitations of liability for consequential or incidental damages, these limitations may not apply to you.
