SERVICE WARRANTY; LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

  1. Service Delivery. FinDynamics utilizes the Internet including but not limited to the cloud-based data servers to provide Database Services to its users. The Internet is a BEST-EFFORT public electronic communications domain. Due to the fact that the Internet comprises a wide range of networks, the volume of network traffic, geographical distance, latency, packet loss, any network outages, and/or maintenance can substantially affect possible throughput and dramatically reduce the actual data transmission rate. Because of this, there is no way to guarantee the data transmission rate the user can observe while performing calculations in Microsoft Excel using XBRLAnalyst, even if your Internet subscription/access speed is adequate. FinDynamics can NOT guarantee the database availability or data transmission rate every time.
  2. Security. As with any online interaction and electronic communication, there is an inherent risk involved in transmitting information over the Internet. FinDynamics does not and cannot guarantee that its system is free from hackers or viruses or that information provided by users to FinDynamics will not be stolen or otherwise surreptitiously obtained. FinDynamics is not responsible or liable for any infections or contamination of your system or delays, inaccuracies, errors, or omissions arising out of your use of the Site or with respect to the Products contained on the Site. You hereby acknowledge and understand that such risk is inherent in interacting with any website, including this Site, and take full responsibility for any harm, danger, or damage that ensues due to any such breach in security.

  4. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. IN NO EVENT SHALL FINDYNAMICS AND ITS SUPPLIERS HAVE LIABILITY FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF BUSINESS PROFITS, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR LOSS OF INFORMATION), EVEN IF FINDYNAMICS AND ITS SUPPLIERS HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THE LICENSEE AGREES TO INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS FINDYNAMICS AND ITS SUPPLIERS INCLUDING THEIR EMPLOYEES, DIRECTORS, SHAREHOLDERS, AND AGENTS FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL LIABILITIES, DAMAGES, ACTIONS, LOSSES, OR CLAIMS IN CONNECTION WITH THE PRODUCTS AND RELATED SERVICES.
