Kitchenet does not warrant, endorse, guarantee, or assume responsibility for any product, service, or offering advertised or provided by a third party through the Websites, any hyperlinked site, or any banner, widget, or other advertising feature. Kitchenet shall not be a party to, nor shall it be responsible in any way for monitoring, any transaction entered into between you and third-party providers of products or services.

Kitchenet expressly disclaims any and all warranties of any nature, whether express, implied, or statutory, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, quiet enjoyment, title, and non-infringement of intellectual property rights. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Kitchenet makes no warranty that the Websites will:

• meet your requirements,

• operate without interruption, delay, error, or security breach,

• be free from defects or that defects will be corrected, or

• provide accurate, reliable, or verifiable results.

No advice, guidance, or information, whether oral or written, obtained by you from Kitchenet, its affiliates, subsidiaries, parents, suppliers, licensors, or their respective officers, employees, or agents (collectively, the “Kitchenet Parties”) shall create any warranty, representation, or guarantee not expressly stated herein.

Kitchenet further disclaims any and all equitable indemnities.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall Kitchenet, its parent, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, licensors, or representatives be liable to you or to any third party for any indirect, incidental, special, punitive, exemplary, or consequential damages of any kind. This includes, without limitation, damages for:
(i) errors, inaccuracies, or mistakes in content;

• business interruption, or other intangible or economic losses,

arising out of or connected with your access to, use of, inability to use, or the results of the use of the Kitchenet Websites, or reliance on any content provided therein.

Such exclusions apply whether the claim is based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether Kitchenet has been advised of, knew of, or should have foreseen the possibility of such damages.

Certain jurisdictions do not permit the exclusion of specific warranties or the limitation or exclusion of liability for particular damages. As a result, some of the disclaimers and limitations of liability set forth above may not be applicable to you. To the extent that any Kitchenet Party is, under applicable law, unable to disclaim any implied warranty or restrict its liabilities, the scope and duration of such warranty, together with the extent of the Kitchenet Party’s liability, shall be construed and enforced to the minimum degree allowed under the relevant applicable law.

Certain laws in Ghana do not allow the exclusion of specific warranties or the limitation of liability for certain types of damages. Accordingly, some of the disclaimers and limitations of liability described herein may not apply to you. To the extent that Kitchenet, under the laws of Ghana, is not permitted to disclaim an implied warranty or restrict its liability, the scope and duration of such warranty, and the extent of Kitchenet’s liability, shall be applied only to the minimum level permitted under Ghanaian law.
