Disclaimer
The Site may be unavailable from time to time due to maintenance or malfunction of computer equipment or for various other reasons. KALSA assumes no responsibility for any delays, interruptions, errors, defects, omissions, or deletions, related to the communications line failure, operation or transmission, or alteration of, or theft or destruction or unauthorized access to, user communications. KALSA is not responsible for any technical or non-technical malfunction or other problems of any hosting services, computer systems, servers or providers, telephone networks or telephone services, computer or mobile phone equipment, software, failure of e-mail or players on account of technical problems or traffic congestion on the Internet or in connection with the Site, including injury or damage to a user’s or to any other person's computer, mobile phone, or other hardware or software, related to or resulting from using or downloading materials in connection with the Web and/or in connection with the Site.
The site, the materials, and the software, if applicable, are provided “as is” “with all faults” and “as available” and without warranties of any kind either express or implied including, without limitation, implied warranties of title, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement or those arising by statute or otherwise in law from a course of dealing or usage of trade. To the fullest extent permissible pursuant to applicable law, KALSA disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including, but not limited to, implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose.

You (and not KALSA) assume the entire cost of all necessary servicing, repair, or correction. Applicable law may not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so the above exclusion may not fully apply to you.
Limitation of Liability
You agree that KALSA and its parents, affiliates, subsidiaries, licensors and assigns, and each of their respective employees, officers, members and directors (collectively, the “released parties”) are not liable to you or any third person for damages of any kind, whether based in tort, contract, strict liability or otherwise, including, without limitation, any indirect, consequential, exemplary, incidental, special or punitive damages, including for any lost profits or lost data arising out of or resulting in any way from or in connection with the site, the material, the forums, any transactions in the KALSA shop, any listing or any errors or omissions in the technical operation of the site, even if the KALSA is aware or has been advised of the possibility of such damages, whether caused in whole or in part by negligence, acts of god, telecommunications failure, theft or destruction of, or unauthorized access to the site (collectively, the “released matters”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, KALSA ’s liability to you for any cause whatsoever, and regardless of the form of the action, will at all times be limited to $1000. Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation or exclusion of certain warranties and conditions, and/or the disclaimer of some types of damages, so some of the above might not apply to you.
By accessing the site, you understand that you may be waiving rights with respect to claims that are at this time unknown or unsuspected, and in accordance with such waiver, you acknowledge that you have read and understand, and hereby expressly waive, the benefits of section 1542 of the civil code of California, and any similar law of any state or territory, which provides as follows:
“a general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.”
You hereby waive any and all rights you have or may have under California Civil Code Section 1542, and/or any similar provision of law or successor statute to it, with respect to the Released Matters. In connection with this waiver and release, you acknowledge that you are aware that you may hereafter discover claims presently unknown or unsuspected, or facts in addition to or different from those which you now know or believe to be true. Nevertheless, you intend by this Agreement to release fully, finally and forever all Released Matters under this Agreement. In furtherance of such intention, the releases set forth in this Agreement shall be and shall remain in effect as full and complete releases notwithstanding the discovery or existence of any such additional or different claims or facts relevant hereto.
