WE CANNOT IN ANY WAY GUARANTEE THAT OTHER MEMBERS WILL NOT ENGAGE IN IMPROPER COMMUNICATIONS OR OTHERWISE VIOLATE MEMBERS’ RIGHTS. FURTHERMORE, WE CANNOT IN ANY WAY GUARANTEE THAT YOU WILL FIND A SUITABLE PARTNER OR WORTHWHILE RELATIONSHIP THROUGH PARTICIPATION IN OUR SERVICES OR WEBSITE. NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, OBTAINED BY YOU FROM US OR THROUGH THE WEBSITE WILL CREATE ANY WARRANTY NOT EXPRESSLY STATED HEREIN. YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEGE THAT THIS DISCLAIMER INCLUDES GEEKMEMORE’S OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, SHAREHOLDERS, AGENTS, LICENSORS AND SUBCONTRACTORS.
YOU EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT THE USE OF THE WEBSITE IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK. THE WEBSITE, OUR SERVICES, AND ANY INFORMATION, THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES, USER MATERIAL, COMMERCIAL CONTENT, OR SERVICES MADE AVAILABLE IN CONJUNCTION WITH OR THROUGH THE WEBSITE ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", "WITH ALL FAULTS" BASIS AND WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS OF ANY KIND EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED.
GEEKMEMORE, ITS SUPPLIERS, LICENSORS, AFFILIATES, AND PARTNERS DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE DATA, MEMBER PROFILES, COMMERCIAL CONTENT, GEEKMEMORE APPLICATION, FUNCTIONS, OR ANY OTHER INFORMATION OFFERED ON OR THROUGH THE GEEKMEMORE WEBSITE OR ANY THIRD PARTY SITES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, OR FREE OF ERRORS, VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS AND DO NOT WARRANT THAT ANY OF THE FOREGOING WILL BE CORRECTED.
GEEKMEMORE, ITS SUPPLIERS, LICENSORS, AFFILIATES, AND PARTNERS DO NOT WARRANT OR MAKE ANY REPRESENTATIONS REGARDING THE USE OR THE RESULTS OF THE USE OF OUR SERVICES, THE RESOLUTION OR APPEARANCE OF CONTENT, OR ANY THIRD PARTY SITES IN TERMS OF CORRECTNESS, ACCURACY, RELIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE.
YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT ANY COMMUNICATIONS, SHARING OF CONTACT INFORMATION WITH OTHER MEMBERS, AND IN PERSON MEETINGS ARE SOLELY AT MEMBER’S OWN RISK, AND GEEKMEMORE CANNOT IN ANY WAY BE RESPONSIBLE FOR MEMBER’S INTERACTION WITH OTHER MEMBERS OR YOUR SAFETY. GEEKMEMORE DOES NOT AND CANNOT CONDUCT CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECKS ON ITS MEMBERS, AND YOU MUST RELY UPON YOUR OWN COMMON SENSE IN CHOOSING TO INTERACT WITH ANY MEMBER. WHILE GEEKMEMORE POSTS SAFETY TIPS AS RECOMMENDATIONS, YOU AGREE NOT TO RELY SOLELY ON THESE SAFETY TIPS WHEN MEETING OR COMMUNICATING WITH OTHER MEMBERS.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL GEEKMEMORE, OR ITS AFFILIATES, CONTRACTORS, EMPLOYEES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, AGENTS, OR THIRD-PARTY PARTNERS, OR SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, RELIANCE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION DAMAGES ARISING FROM ANY UNSUCCESSFUL COURT ACTION OR LEGAL DISPUTE OR LOSS OR DAMAGE OF ANY NATURE WHATSOEVER) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THAT RESULT FROM MEMBER’S USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE WEBSITE, OR ANY OTHER INTERACTIONS WITH GEEKMEMORE, EVEN IF WE OR OUR AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

IN NO EVENT WILL GEEKMEMORE OR ITS AFFILIATES, CONTRACTORS, EMPLOYEES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, AGENTS, OR THIRD-PARTY PARTNERS, LICENSORS, OR SUPPLIERS TOTAL LIABILITY TO MEMBER FOR ALL DAMAGES, LOSSES, AND CAUSES OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR MEMBER’S USE OF OUR SERVICES OR WEBSITE (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE, WARRANTY, OR OTHERWISE), EXCEED THE AMOUNT PAID BY MEMBER, IF ANY, TO GEEKMEMORE DURING THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE DATE OF THE CLAIM OR FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS, WHICHEVER IS GREATER.

If located in California, Member waives California Civil Code Section 1542, which states: "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."

MEMBER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT GEEKMEMORE HAS OFFERED ITS WEBSITE AND SERVICES AND ENTERED INTO THIS AGREEMENT IN RELIANCE UPON THE WARRANTY DISCLAIMERS AND THE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY SET FORTH HEREIN, THAT THE WARRANTY DISCLAIMERS AND THE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY SET FORTH HEREIN REFLECT A REASONABLE AND FAIR ALLOCATION OF RISK BETWEEN MEMBER AND GEEKMEMORE, AND THAT THE WARRANTY DISCLAIMERS AND THE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY SET FORTH HEREIN FORM AN ESSENTIAL BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN MEMBER AND GEEKMEMORE. WE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO PROVIDE GEEKMEMORE SERVICES TO MEMBER ON AN ECONOMICALLY REASONABLE BASIS WITHOUT THESE LIMITATIONS.
CERTAIN JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES. IF MEMBER RESIDES IN SUCH A JURISDICTION, SOME OR ALL OF THE ABOVE DISCLAIMERS, EXCLUSIONS, OR LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO MEMBER, AND MEMBER MAY HAVE ADDITIONAL RIGHTS. THE LIMITATIONS OR EXCLUSIONS OF WARRANTIES, REMEDIES OR LIABILITY CONTAINED IN THIS T&CS APPLY TO MEMBER AND ITS USERS TO THE FULLEST EXTENT SUCH LIMITATIONS OR EXCLUSIONS ARE PERMITTED UNDER THE LAWS OF THE JURISDICTION WHERE MEMBER IS LOCATED.
We may provide you with notices, including those regarding changes to the Website's terms and conditions, by email, regular mail or postings on the Website.

Notice posted on the Website is deemed given 30 days following the initial posting.

The parties agree that the federal and state courts residing in Santa Clara County, California will have exclusive jurisdiction over these Terms.

This Agreement, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you, but may be assigned by GEEKMEMORE without restriction. Any assignment attempted to be made in violation of this Agreement shall be void.
Upon termination of this Agreement, any provision which, by its nature or express terms should survive, will survive such termination or expiration.
