7. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SITE AND ALL CONTENT, INFORMATION, AND SERVICES PROVIDED THROUGH IT ARE OFFERED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS WITHOUT ANY WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.

This limitation of liability applies to all causes of action in the aggregate, including breach of contract, breach of warranty, negligence, strict liability, and other torts. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages; in such cases, the Association’s liability will be limited to the greatest extent permitted by law.
