- Limitation of Liability *
- -------------------------- *
-
* - Under no circumstances and under no legal theory, whether tort *

- special, incidental, or consequential damages of any character *

- and to the greatest extent permissible, damages will be limited to *
- direct damages not to exceed one hundred dollars. Some *
- jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of *
