Provider therefore reserves the right to correct any errors, inaccuracies or omissions and to change or update information at any time without prior notice.

12. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES AND LIABILITY

Concord Review includes information that to the best of its knowledge is factual, as well as the views, opinions, and recommendations of individuals and organizations deemed of interest. Provider does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of any reported fact, or otherwise endorse the views, facts, opinions or recommendations of others.

  1. Moreover, due to the number of sources from which news, information, and interactivity on Concord Review is obtained, and the inherent hazards of electronic distribution; there may be delays, omissions, or inaccuracies in such news and information. Concord Review, Provider and its affiliates, agents, and licensors cannot and do not warrant the accuracy, completeness, current-ness, non-infringement, merchantability, or fitness for a particular purpose of the news and information available through Provider, or Concord Review itself.
  2. Neither Provider nor any of its affiliates, agents, or licensors shall be liable to you or anyone else for any loss or injury (whether or not caused in whole or part by the negligence of Provider, or its affiliates, agents, or licensors or by contingencies beyond their control in procuring, compiling, interpreting, reporting, or delivering Concord Review and any news and information through Concord Review).
  3. In no event will Provider, its affiliates, agents, or licensors be liable to you or anyone else for any decision made or action taken by you in reliance on such news and information. In the event that a court of competent jurisdiction should hold that Provider and its affiliates, agents, or licensors may not disclaim liability for damages caused as a direct result of the actions or negligence of Provider and/or its affiliates, agents or licensors, such entities shall not be liable to you or anyone else for any damages other than direct damages (including, without limitation, consequential, special, incidental, indirect, or similar damages) even if advised of the possibility of such damages. In all events, you agree that the liability of Provider, its affiliates, agents, and licensors, if any, arising out of any kind of legal claim (whether in contract, tort, or otherwise) in any way connected with Provider or the news and information in Concord Review shall not exceed the amount you paid to Concord Review or Provider for the use of Concord Review.

13. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

In no event shall Provider be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, punitive, increased or consequential damages, loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill or use, incurred by you or any third party, whether in an action in contract or tort (including negligence and strict liability), arising from your access to or inability to access, or use of, this site or any services provided in connection with this site, even if Concord Review has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

  1. This limitation on liability applies to, but is not limited to, the transmission of any disabling device or viruses which may infect your equipment or system, failure of mechanical or electronic equipment or communication lines, telephone or other interconnect problems, unauthorized access, theft, bodily injury, property damage, operator errors, strikes or other labor problems or any force majeure.
  2. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations or exclusions of liability in some circumstances. Consequently, some of the foregoing limitations may not apply to you.

14. INDEMNITY

You agree to indemnify, defend and hold Provider, its shareholders, directors, officers, co-branders, subsidiaries, parents, employees and agents, harmless from any claim, demand, liability, dispute, damage, cost, expense, or loss, including attorneys’ fees and costs of litigation, arising out of or in any way related to your use of or access to Concord Review, use of the Content (including any use by your employees), your violation of these Terms or violation of any rights of another.

15. LIMITATION ON ACTIONS BROUGHT AGAINST PROVIDER

You agree that any claim or cause of action arising out of the use of Concord Review or these Terms must be filed within one year after such claim or cause of action arose or it shall forever be barred, notwithstanding any statute of limitations or other law to the contrary. Within this period, any failure by Provider to enforce or exercise any provision of these Terms or related right shall not constitute a waiver of that right or provision.

16. DISPUTE RESOLUTION

  1. You agree that any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the use of Concord Review requires that such claim be resolved exclusively by confidential binding arbitration except that, to the extent you have in any manner violated or threatened to violate Intellectual Property Rights, Provider may seek injunctive or other appropriate relief.
  2. The arbitration shall be conducted, in accordance with the laws of Indonesia, as then in effect. No claims of any other parties may be joined or otherwise combined in the arbitration proceeding. Unless otherwise expressly required by applicable law, each party shall bear its own attorneys’ fees without regard to which party is deemed the prevailing party in the arbitration proceeding. Except for punitive and consequential damages (which may not be awarded), and subject to these Terms, the arbitrators shall be authorized to award either party any provisional or equitable remedy permitted by applicable law.
  3. Because the use of the Concord Review site requires the arbitration of any claims or disputes existing between the parties, neither party will have the right to pursue that claim in court or before a judge or jury or to participate in a class action or any other collective or representative proceeding.
  4. The arbitrators’ decision will be final and binding. Other rights that either party would have if such party went to court, including without limitation the right to conduct discovery or to appeal, may be limited or unavailable in arbitration.

17. GENERAL

If any provision in these Terms is found by a court or arbitrator to be invalid, the parties agree that the court or arbitrator should give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect. Provider’s failure to act with respect to a breach by any visitor using Concord Review does not constitute a waiver of its right to act with respect to subsequent or similar breaches.

  1. These Terms will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Indonesia without regard to its choice of law provisions. In the event of any conflict between foreign laws, rules, and regulations and those of the Republic of Indonesia, the laws, rules and regulations of the Republic of Indonesia will govern.
  2. These Terms and the Privacy Policy as posted from time to time by Provider on Concord Review, and any modifications to the foregoing, constitute the entire agreement between the parties with regard to the subject matter in these Terms and supersede all prior understandings and agreements, whether written or oral, as to such subject matter.
