To the maximum extent permitted by law, Charlie Romeo Media, LLC, its affiliates, officers, employees, or partners shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or related to your use or inability to use the Services.

This includes, without limitation, damages for lost profits, data loss, or business interruption, even if we were advised of the possibility of such damages.

Certain jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential damages, so some of these limitations may not apply to you.

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Charlie Romeo Media, LLC and its affiliates, officers, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, or expenses (including legal fees) arising out of or related to your use of the Services, your violation of these Terms, or your infringement of any third-party rights.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to the Services at any time, without notice, for any reason, including if we believe you have violated these Terms.

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

Any legal action or proceeding related to these Terms shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Brevard County, Florida, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of such courts.

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, that portion shall be enforced to the maximum extent possible, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of those rights.

These Terms, along with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Charlie Romeo Media, LLC regarding your use of the Services, and supersede any prior agreements or understandings, whether oral or written.
