26. Without derogating from the provisions of the Terms of Use, in any case where full exemption from liability will not apply and/or it has been determined that any liability applies to the Company for any reason, the Company’s liability shall be limited to direct damages only and to the amount of the aggregate liability for all claims and/or damages for any cause whatsoever, which shall not exceed the total of all payments made by you to the Company by virtue of this Terms of Use in the three-month period preceding a particular allegation made against the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, it is clarified that this is the sole remedy whereto you are entitled and shall constitute a final and absolute waiver of any and all suits and/or demands and/or claims by you against the Company.

Company will not be liable nor obligated to perform maintenance or support activities with regard to errors or other problems with the System and/or the services resulting from (i) alterations or modifications made by anyone other than Company (ii) third party software and/or hardware; (iii) your failure to promptly install any maintenance releases provided to you while under valid maintenance coverage; (iv) a combination of the System and/or other deliverables with any program, equipment or device not supplied or specifically pre-approved in writing by Company’ authorized signatory; or (v) misuse or improper use of the System or services.
