5. Disclaimer of Warranties
The Services are provided “as is” and “as available” with all faults and without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, MONRO AND OUR AFFILIATED ENTITIES DISCLAIM ALL REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES, WHETHER STATUTORY, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR OTHER, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OR ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR COURSE OF PERFORMANCE. NO ORAL OR WRITTEN INFORMATION OR ADVICE GIVEN BY MONRO OR OUR AFFILIATED ENTITIES WILL CONSTITUTE ANY REPRESENTATION OR CREATE ANY WARRANTY. NONE OF MONRO OR OUR AFFILIATED ENTITIES WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR FREE OF ERRORS, HARMFUL CODE OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS OR THAT ANY OF THE FOREGOING WILL BE CORRECTED.

5. Limitation of Liability
IN NO EVENT WILL MONRO OR ANY OF OUR AFFILIATED ENTITIES BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGES WHATSOEVER (EVEN IF MONRO OR SUCH AFFILIATED ENTITY HAS BEEN PREVIOUSLY ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES), WHETHER IN AN ACTION UNDER CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, OR ANY OTHER THEORY, IN ANY MANNER ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICES. MONRO AND OUR AFFILIATED ENTITIES ASSUME NO RESPONSIBILITY AND WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES TO, OR HARMFUL CODE THAT MAY INFECT, YOUR COMPUTER EQUIPMENT OR OTHER PROPERTY ON ACCOUNT OF YOUR ACCESS TO, USE OF, BROWSING OF, OR DOWNLOADING OF ANY MATERIAL VIA THE SERVICES.

Because some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, the above limitations may not apply to you.
IN NO EVENT WILL MONRO’S AND OUR AFFILIATED ENTITIES’ TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL DAMAGES, LOSSES AND CAUSES OF ACTION, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE, ARISING FROM OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICES EXCEED THE AMOUNT PAID BY YOU, IF ANY, TO MONRO FOR THE SERVICES OR $100, WHICHEVER IS GREATER.
The above exclusions and limitations will apply notwithstanding any failure of essential purpose of any limited remedy.
You and Monro agree that the warranty disclaimers and limitations of liability in these Terms of Use are material, bargained-for bases of these Terms of Use, and that they have been taken into account in determining the consideration to be given by each party under these Terms of Use and in the decision by each party to enter into these Terms of Use. You and Monro agree that the warranty disclaimers and limitations of liability in these terms of use are fair and reasonable.
If you are dissatisfied with the Services or do not agree to any provisions of these Terms of Use, your sole and exclusive remedy is to discontinue using the Services.
