23.   Disclaimer of Warranty and Limitation of Liability

THE SERVICE, THE PHOTO SITE, THE CONTENT, AND ALL RELATED PRODUCTS AND SERVICES ARE PROVIDED BY KODAK ALARIS AND DRC ON AN "AS IS" AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS WITH NO WARRANTIES WHATSOEVER.

YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT THE DOWNLOAD OR UPLOAD OF ANY MATERIAL THROUGH THE SERVICE IS DONE AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION AND RISK AND THAT YOU WILL BE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR COMPUTER SYSTEM OR LOSS OF DATA THAT MAY RESULT IN THE DOWNLOAD OR UPLOAD OF ANY MATERIAL. IN THE EVENT OF ANY MISTAKE BY KODAK ALARIS, SUCH AS SHIPMENT OF AN INCORRECT OR DEFECTIVE PRODUCT, KODAK ALARIS WILL REPLACE AND KODAK ALARIS AND DRC WILL BE LIABLE ONLY TO THE EXTENT OF THE RETURN POLICY STATED IN THESE TERMS.

EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THE PRECEDING PARAGRAPH, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, KODAK ALARIS AND DRC SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR ANY OTHER DAMAGES RESULTING FROM THE USE OR PROVISION OF THE SERVICE, THE PHOTO SITE AND ALL RELATED PRODUCTS AND SERVICES, EVEN IF KODAK ALARIS OR DRC HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THE FOREGOING DISCLAIMERS, WAIVERS AND LIMITATIONS SHALL APPLY NOTWITHSTANDING ANY FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY.

THIS LIMITATION APPLIES REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE DAMAGES ARE CLAIMED UNDER THE TERMS OF A CONTRACT, AS THE RESULT OF NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE ARISE OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE USE, INABILITY TO USE, OR PERFORMANCE OF THE INFORMATION, SERVICES, PRODUCTS OR MATERIALS AVAILABLE FROM THIS SITE, AND EVEN IF WE OR OUR REPRESENTATIVES HAVE BEEN NEGLIGENT OR HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

BECAUSE SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, OR THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, ALL OR A PORTION OF THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

KODAK ALARIS's and/or DRC’s failure to enforce any right or provision in these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any part of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, then the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed superseded by a valid, enforceable provision most closely matching the intent of the original provision and the remainder of the Terms will continue in effect.
