7. Express Waiver and Release of Liability

In consideration for the sale of the Products, Purchaser—for themselves and their heirs, assigns, and legal representatives—knowingly and voluntarily releases, waives, discharges, and covenants not to sue the Company and its owners, officers, directors, employees, agents, affiliates, successors, and assigns (“Released Parties”) from any and all claims, liabilities, and causes of action arising from loss, damage, or injury (including death) connected to the purchase, handling, storage, or use of the Products.

This general release is a material inducement to the Company, is intended to be as broad as permitted by law, and applies to all known and unknown claims. This waiver shall not apply to claims resulting from the Released Parties’ willful and wanton misconduct or to liabilities that cannot be waived under applicable law.

8. Indemnification

Purchaser shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Company and its Released Parties from all losses, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from third-party claims connected with: (a) Purchaser’s breach of any representation, warranty, or covenant herein; (b) the handling, storage, disposal, or misuse of the Products by Purchaser or its agents; (c) any unauthorized modification or redistribution of the Products by Purchaser; or (d) Purchaser’s violation of applicable law related to the Products.

This indemnification obligation survives this Agreement’s termination or expiration. Any settlement must be made in good faith to discharge an actual or potential liability for indemnity to apply.

9. Limitation of Liability and Damages Cap

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company and its Released Parties shall not be liable for any indirect, special, incidental, punitive, or consequential damages (including lost profits) arising from the use or handling of the Products, regardless of the legal theory of the claim.

Furthermore, the total aggregate liability of the Company and its Released Parties for any and all claims related to this Agreement or the Products is capped at the amount Purchaser paid for the specific Product giving rise to such claim.

These limitations shall not apply to claims arising from the Company’s willful misconduct or to any other liabilities that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.

10. Warranty Disclaimers

The Products are provided “AS IS” and “WITH ALL FAULTS.” To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company disclaims all warranties not expressly stated on the Product’s label or packaging, including, without limitation, the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose.

The Company provides third-party testing reports and Certificates of Analysis (COAs) but makes no warranty or representation regarding the accuracy, completeness, or availability of such reports. No oral or written representations by the Company or its agents shall create any additional warranty. Purchaser acknowledges this disclaimer is clear and conspicuous.

11. Termination of Membership

The Company reserves the right to terminate any membership or purchasing privilege if it determines, in its sole discretion, that the Purchaser has violated this Agreement, any applicable law, or any other guidelines or policies established by the Company. Termination shall be effective immediately upon notice, and the Purchaser shall have no claim against the Company arising from such termination.
