    OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, CONDITIONS OR REPRESENTATIONS TO TESTING INSTITUTION, ADMINISTRATOR, TEST TAKER OR ANY THIRD PARTY WITH RESPECT TO THE TESTS, DOCUMENTATION OR ANY OTHER SOFTWARE, SERVICE OR PRODUCT PROVIDED HEREUNDER OR OTHERWISE REGARDING THESE TERMS.

IN THIS RESPECT YOU AGREE THAT IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO INSTALL SUITABLE ANTI-VIRUS AND SECURITY SOFTWARE ON YOUR COMPUTER HARDWARE AND OTHER DEVICES TO PROTECT AGAINST ANY SUCH BUGS, VIRUSES OR OTHER SUCH HARMFUL PROGRAMMING ROUTINES. ANY DATA OR INFORMATION DOWNLOADED OR OTHERWISE OBTAINED THROUGH THE USE OF THE SERVICE IS DONE AT YOUR OWN RISK AND YOU WILL BE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR COMPUTER SYSTEM OR LOSS OF DATA THAT RESULTS FROM ITS USE.

    ALL SUCH IMPLIED PROVISIONS ARE HEREBY EXCLUDED TO THE FULLEST EXTENT 
    PERMITTED BY LAW. BY USING OUR SERVICES, YOU EXPRESSLY AGREE TO THIS COMPREHENSIVE DISCLAIMER, ACKNOWLEDGING THAT YOU ARE FOREGOING CERTAIN RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OTHERWISE AVAILABLE UNDER LAW, SUBJECT TO THE LIMITATIONS OF THIS CLAUSE.

    WE DO NOT LIMIT OR EXCLUDE OUR LIABILITY IN CIRCUMSTANCES WHERE APPLICABLE LAW 
    PROHIBITS SUCH LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION. WHERE CERTAIN FORMS OF LIABILITY CANNOT BE LEGALLY EXCLUDED IN SPECIFIC JURISDICTIONS, OUR LIABILITY SHALL BE RESTRICTED TO YOU SOLELY FOR LOSSES, DAMAGES, COSTS, AND EXPENSES THAT ARE A DIRECT AND REASONABLY FORESEEABLE CONSEQUENCE OF EITHER OUR FAILURE TO EXERCISE THE LEVEL OF CARE AND SKILL THAT IS REASONABLY EXPECTED OR OUR MATERIAL BREACH OF THIS CONTRACTUAL AGREEMENT WITH YOU.

    IN COUNTRIES WHERE EXCLUSIONS OR LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY ARE ALLOWED, TO THE 
    FULLEST EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, NEITHER DIGLOSSIA ITS AFFILIATES, NOR OUR SUPPLIERS INVOLVED IN CREATING, PRODUCING, OR DELIVERING THE SERVICES WILL BE LIABLE FOR (I) ANY LOSS OF DATA; USE; REPUTATION; GOODWILL OR OPPORTUNITY; (II) ANY LOSS OF OR FAILURE TO REALIZE EXPECTED PROFIT, REVENUE OR SAVINGS OR ANY OTHER FORM OF PURE ECONOMIC LOSS, WHETHER SUCH LOSS IS DIRECT OR INDIRECT; OR (III) ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES THAT YOU MAY SUFFER, WHETHER RELATING TO YOUR DOWNLOADING, SUBSCRIBE TO OR USE, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE SERVICE OR SERVICES DIGLOSSIA PROVIDES OR OTHERWISE, AND, IN EACH CASE, HOWSOEVER ARISING AND IRRESPECTIVE OF THE LEGAL THEORY INVOLVED— BE IT WARRANTY, CONTRACT, STATUTE, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), PRODUCT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER APPLICABLE LEGAL FRAMEWORK—AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER DIGLOSSIA OR ITS SUPPLIERS HAVE BEEN MADE AWARE OF THE POTENTIAL FOR SUCH DAMAGES.

    THIS LIMITATION APPLIES EVEN IN CASES WHERE A REMEDY OUTLINED WITHIN THESE TERMS 
    FAILS TO ACHIEVE ITS FUNDAMENTAL OBJECTIVE OR ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. THIS CLAUSE IN NO WAY ALTERS, DIMINISHES, OR INVALIDATES STATUTORY CONSUMER RIGHTS THAT CANNOT BE VOLUNTARILY SURRENDERED, LIMITED, OR OTHERWISE MODIFIED THROUGH ANY FORM OF CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATION. BESIDES THE TYPES OF LIABILITY WE CANNOT LIMIT BY LAW (AS DESCRIBED IN THIS SECTION), DIGLOSSIA LIMITS OUR LIABILITY TO YOU TO $100 USD (OR THE EQUIVALENT IN YOUR LOCAL CURRENCY). DIGLOSSIA IS NOT LIABLE FOR THE CONDUCT OR CONTENT, WHETHER ONLINE OR OFFLINE, OF ANY USER OF OUR SERVICES.

    IT IS EXPRESSLY UNDERSTOOD AND AGREED BY BOTH YOU AND US THAT THE EXCLUSIONS 
    AND LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY CONTAINED IN THESE TERMS ARE FUNDAMENTAL TERMS THAT FORM THE BASIS OF THE CONTRACTUAL RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN US. THE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY SET FORTH IN THE PRECEDING SECTIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL EXTEND AND APPLYY IN ITS ENTIRETY TO RESIDENTS OF ANY JURISDICTION WHERE SUCH LIMITATIONS ARE LEGALLY PERMISSIBLE. FAILURE TO ENFORCE OR A WAIVER OF ANY OF THESE LIMITATIONS BY EITHER PARTY IN ANY INSTANCE SHALL NOT CONSTITUTE A GENERAL WAIVER OR RELINQUISHMENT OF THESE LIMITATIONS IN ANY OTHER INSTANCE.

    UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WHATSOEVER WILL DIGLOSSIA BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE TO 
    TESTING INSTITUTION, ADMINISTRATOR, TEST TAKER OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY INDIRECT, COMPENSATORY, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES THAT RESULT FROM OR RELATE IN ANY MANNER TO USE OF THE TESTS.

  25. Changes To These Terms. Diglossia may change these Terms at any time by sending you prior notice via an e-mail with the modified Terms or by posting a copy of them on the Services. Any changes will take effect seven (7) days after the date of the e-mail or the date on which Diglossia posts the modified Terms on the Services, whichever is the earlier. Your continued use of the Services after that period expires means that you agree to be bound by the modified Terms.

  26. Assignment. You may not assign, sub-license or transfer all or parts of your User Credentials, rights or obligations under these Terms without prior written consent from Diglossia. Any attempted assignment shall be void.

In such circumstances including, but not limited to, system failure, fire, flood, earthquake and other natural physical disasters, strikes, trade disputes, lock downs, riots, accident, disruption to energy supplies, civil commotion, Internet outage, pandemics, acts of terrorism or war, Diglossia inability or delay in performing its obligations will not be deemed to be in breach of contract.

  28. Severability. If any of these provisions is deemed invalid, illegal, void, unenforceable or in conflict with the applicable law of any jurisdiction, that provision will be deemed severable from the rest and will not affect the validity, legality and enforceability of any remaining provisions. In such a circumstance, these Terms shall be amended to the extent necessary to make them legal, valid and enforceable.

  29. Waiver. If you breach these Terms and Diglossia chooses to ignore your breach, Diglossia will still be entitled to use the rights and remedies available to it at a later date or in any other situation where you breach the Terms again. A waiver of any provision(s) of these Terms by Diglossia shall not be deemed a waiver of any other provision(s) of these Terms.

  30. Exclusion of Third-Party Rights. These Terms do not create any right enforceable by any person who is not a party to them.

  31. Governing Law. Any disputes or claims arising out of or in connection with the contract are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Abu Dhabi Global Market Court without regard to its conflicts of laws.

  32. Dispute Resolution. If a dispute arises out of or in connection with this contract, both you and Diglossia will attempt to settle it by mediation as a pre-condition any further legal action. Other than disputes arising in relation to an actual or alleged infringement or misappropriation of a party’s intellectual property, all disputes arising out of or in connection with these Terms and the Services shall be finally settled under the Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (the “Rules”) by three arbitrators appointed in accordance with the Rules. In addition to the Rules, the parties agree that the arbitration shall be conducted according to the IBA Rules on the Taking of Evidence in International Arbitration. The arbitration will be conducted solely in the English language. The seat of the arbitration will be London, England. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party has the right to apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for provisional relief, including pre-arbitral attachments, a temporary restraining order, temporary injunction, permanent injunction and/or order of specific performance, as may appear reasonably necessary to preserve the rights of such party. The application by either party to a judicial authority for such measures shall not be deemed to be an infringement or a waiver of the arbitration agreement and shall not affect the relevant powers reserved to the arbitrator.

    You may only resolve disputes with us on an individual basis, and you may not bring a claim as a plaintiff 
    or a class member in a class, consolidated, or representative action.

  33. Entire Agreement. These Terms and any corresponding order constitute the entire agreement between Diglossia and Testing Institution with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all other prior written or oral agreements, understandings and commitments between Diglossia and Testing Institution. If any of the provisions of these Terms are held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of these Terms shall not be affected thereby. Testing Institution may not assign these Terms or any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Diglossia.
