To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, our total liability for any claim shall not exceed the amount paid by you for the product giving rise to the claim.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for certain damages, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you.

Section 18 — Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Blue Planet Books, Tianyu Culture Limited, Shopify, and our respective affiliates, partners, officers, directors, employees, agents, contractors, suppliers, service providers, and licensors from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, or expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising from or relating to:

Section 19 — Severability

If any provision of these Terms of Service is determined to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

The unenforceable portion shall be deemed severed from these Terms of Service, and such determination shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.
