12. Disclaimers
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Service is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement.
EU/EEA consumers: Nothing in this section limits or excludes any statutory rights you may have under mandatory consumer protection law in your country of residence, including rights under EU Directive 2019/770 on digital content and services.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law:

- Our aggregate liability for all claims arising out of or related to the Service will not exceed the greater of (a) USD $100 or (b) the amount you paid to us in the 12 months before the event giving rise to liability.
EU/EEA consumers: These limits do not apply to liability arising from death or personal injury caused by our negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under mandatory applicable law in your country of residence. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

Any dispute will be resolved in the courts of Stockholm, Sweden, unless mandatory consumer law in your country of residence requires otherwise.
