5.1. MARFEEL guarantees that the provision of the SERVICE(S) will be performed in a professional manner and with all necessary measures to ensure correct performance. However, MARFEEL does not warrant merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose or noninfringement. The SERVICE is provided by the COMPANY and its licensors "as is’’ and “as available”. The CLIENT assumes all risks associated with the use of the SERVICES. Moreover, while MARFEEL will make its best effort to provide accurate classification concerning traffic, sources and channels, it cannot always guarantee precision in this classification. This is because the data is sourced from Tech Providers, who might sometimes deliberately hide or disguise attributes, affecting accurate classification. For this reason, any claims of imprecision cannot constitute grounds for early termination of the contract, nor can they be a basis to request any kind of compensation.

5.2. In relation to MARFEEL MONITORING (either as an upsell or as a standalone service), this product relies on the information gathered from different monitored platforms (e.g. Social platforms or Google Discover). Due to the rapid and constant evolution of these platforms, MARFEEL cannot predict with certainty if MARFEEL MONITORING will be subjected to updates, enhancements, eliminations of certain features or modifications of any kind. MARFEEL will provide the MARFEEL MONITORING tool using reasonable care and skill. However, if MARFEEL were to disable access to the MARFEEL MONITORING tool (in whole or in part), it would cease charging clients who had purchased the product (if billed monthly), or if the CLIENT had paid an annual fee upfront (or several annualities), it will receive a refund of the unaccrued amounts. If MARFEEL MONITORING has been contracted as an upsell, the discontinuation of this service shall not imply the termination of the general contract with MARFEEL.

6.- LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

6.1. Without prejudice to MARFEEL´s liability for direct damages, in no event shall MARFEEL and/or its officers, directors, employees, agents or representatives be liable for any indirect, special, incidental, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or loss of profits, arising from or related to the CLIENT’s use, misuse, or inability to use the SERVICE(S). This includes but but is not limited to contract or tort even if MARFEEL was or should have been aware or advised of the possibility of such damages; or (ii) for any claim attributable to errors, omissions, or other inaccuracies in the SERVICE(S) or destructive properties of the SERVICE(S).

MARFEEL’s aggregate liability for direct damages under this Contract shall not exceed the payments made by the CLIENT during the year in which the claim arose. The aforementioned limitations of liability will not apply to liability arising from gross negligence or willful misconduct.

7. INDEMNIFICATION

7.1. The CLIENT hereby agrees, to indemnify, defend and hold harmless MARFEEL, its licensors, subcontractors, and its respective directors, officers, shareholders, employees and agents, at its expense, from and against losses, damages, expenses, liabilities and costs stemming from third party claims, actions, or allegations made against MARFEEL relating to, incurred in connection with, or based upon: i) The CLIENT’s use of the SERVICE(S) in violation of this contract; ii) infringement resulting from information, data or content submitted in connection with the SERVICE(S); and/or; iii) The CLIENT’s infringement or potential infringement of any trademark, copyright, and/or intellectual property rights.

Therefore, each PARTY agrees not to disclose, use, copy or make such information available to third parties unless it obtains prior written consent from the other PARTY.

This solution might involve considering the engagement of a new service provider, if technically feasible, and/ or billing the CLIENT any additional costs associated with maintaining the current service provider or engaging a new one.

If no mutually agreeable solution is reached, either PARTY may terminate this agreement without any compensation.

Any reimbursement, when applicable, will be subject to the terms outlined in section 3.5 of the GTOS.
