4. Services Description

Import Business Guide provides informational content, tools, and resources related to importing goods, including guidance on Incoterms, customs procedures, documentation, and supplier payments. The Services are provided for general informational purposes only and do not constitute legal, financial, or professional advice. You should consult with qualified professionals for advice tailored to your specific situation.

5. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, in no event will Import Business Guide, its affiliates, directors, employees, agents, or licensors be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including without limitation, loss of profits, data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses, resulting from (i) your access to or use of or inability to access or use the Services; (ii) any conduct or content of any third party on the Services; (iii) any content obtained from the Services; and (iv) unauthorized access, use, or alteration of your transmissions or content, whether based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence), or any other legal theory, whether or not we have been informed of the possibility of such damage.

Our total liability to you for any and all claims arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services shall not exceed the greater of $100 or the amount you paid us, if any, for the Services in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, so the above limitation may not apply to you.

6. Disclaimers

The Services are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, without any warranties of any kind, either express or implied. Import Business Guide disclaims all warranties, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

We do not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of viruses or other harmful components. We do not warrant the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of any information provided through the Services, including information about Incoterms, customs regulations, or payment methods. You acknowledge that such information may be subject to change and that you are responsible for verifying its applicability to your transactions.

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Import Business Guide, its affiliates, licensors, and service providers, and its and their respective officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, licensors, suppliers, successors, and assigns from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, losses, costs, expenses, or fees (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to your violation of these Terms or your use of the Services, including, but not limited to, any use of the Services' content, services, and products other than as expressly authorized in these Terms.

9. Changes to Terms

We may revise and update these Terms from time to time in our sole discretion. All changes are effective immediately when we post them, and apply to all access to and use of the Services thereafter. Your continued use of the Services following the posting of revised Terms means that you accept and agree to the changes.
