​
4.8 Limitation on Liability
​

​
4.8.2 Your acceptance of this limitation of liability is an essential term and we would not provide you with the Financial Services or access to your Graphite Account(s) or the Site without your agreement to this essential term. If you are a California resident, you waive your rights with respect to California Civil Code Section 1542, which indicates “a general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which, if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.” Because some states or jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or the limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, in such states or jurisdictions, liability will be limited to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law.
​
4.9 No Implied Warranties. We, our Platform Partner, and our Services Providers do not warrant that the Site and the Financial Services will be uninterrupted or error-free; nor do we make any warranty as to the results that may be obtained from the use of the Financial Services or Site.

If such objection is unsuccessful, then Recipient will produce only such Confidential Information as is required by the court order or governmental action.
​
4.10.8 Recipient acknowledges and agrees that, in the event of any breach of this provision, Discloser may not have an adequate remedy in money or damages. Discloser may be entitled to seek the granting of equitable relief, including injunction and specific performance, in the event of any such breach, in addition to all other remedies available to Discloser at law or in equity.
​
4.10.9 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties acknowledge and agree that this Section 4.10 does not apply to any information that is subject to a separate use agreement, including, for example, agreements on posting and managing product pricing information.
​
4.11 Changes. We reserve the right to change these Terms from time to time, in our sole discretion, and we will provide you with notice of such changes if required by Applicable Law. Fees that apply to you will not change without a separate written agreement with us or our Platform Partner reflecting such change. If we cannot reach agreement on Fee changes, we may terminate your use of the Financial Services and these Terms. No changes to these Terms will apply retroactively, and changes will become effective no sooner than ten (10) days after sent or posted. However, changes addressing new services or new functions or enhancements of a Service, or changes made to comply with Applicable Requirements or Service Provider requirements, or to address any risk concern of ours may be effective immediately. By continuing to use the Financial Services after a change to these Terms is effective, you accept and agree to the changes. You are expected to check the Site and your Graphite Account from time to time so you are aware of any changes.
​
4.12 Force Majeure Event. If a party is unable to perform any of its obligations in these Terms by reason of a Force Majeure Event, then the performance of such obligations will be excused during the continuance of the inability so caused. A party experiencing a Force Majeure Event will promptly notify the other party of the Force Majeure Event. To the extent that the party not affected by a Force Majeure Event is unable to perform any of its obligations in these Terms because a prerequisite obligation of the affected party has not been performed, the party not affected by a Force Majeure Event also is excused from such performance while the affected party is unable to perform. A “Force Majeure Event” means an unanticipated event that is not reasonably within the control of the affected party (including acts of God, acts of governmental or monetary authorities, strikes, war, epidemics, pandemics, riot and any other causes of such nature). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no party will be relieved of any of its payment or reimbursement obligations hereunder.
