Disclaimer of Warranties

Your use of our Website is at your sole risk. WLA and its licensors disclaim any and all warranties, express or implied, including any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose or non-infringement. You understand and agree that our Website and all content available on and through our Website are provided “as is.” WLA does not warrant uninterrupted use or operation of the Website or your access to any content. No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained by you from our Website will create any warranty regarding WLA that is not expressly stated in these Terms. Because some jurisdictions do not permit the exclusion of implied warranties, portions of this section may not apply to you.
Limitation of Liability

Neither WLA nor its licensors, will be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or exemplary damages, including but not limited to, damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data or other intangible losses (even if WLA or any licensor has been advised of the possibility of these damages), resulting from your access or use of the Website. Because some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, the above limitation may not apply to you. The maximum total liability of WLA and its licensors for any claim under this Agreement, whether in contract, tort, or otherwise, is $100. The limitations described in this Limitation of Liability section will apply even if any limited remedy under this Agreement fails of its essential purpose.

General Legal Notices

Here is the legal mumbo jumbo. Our failure to act in a particular circumstance does not waive our ability to act with respect to that circumstance or similar circumstances.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Washington, excluding conflicts of law principles, and any claim against WLA must be commenced within one year after the claim arose.
