11. Limitation of liability and allocation of risk

11.1. Definitions and application

In this section:

"Provider" means Vitaliy Maliborskiy, an individual entrepreneur registered under the laws of Ukraine (Ukrainian: фізична особа — підприємець), Taxpayer Identification Number 2648903317, trading as DryRights. The Provider's contact details and mandatory trader information are set out in section 1 ("Scope").

"Customer" means any individual or legal entity that orders, pays for, accesses or uses the Service.

"Business Customer" means a Customer acting wholly or mainly for purposes relating to its trade, business, profession or other commercial activity — including government bodies, public institutions and other institutional customers interacting with the Service within their public or institutional activity, unless a separate agreement provides otherwise.

"Consumer" means an individual acting wholly or mainly for purposes outside that individual's trade, business, profession or other commercial activity.

"Service" means the website, software, digital products, materials, features, services and deliverables supplied by the Provider under these Terms.

"Fees" means the amounts actually paid or payable to the Provider for the relevant part of the Service, excluding taxes, payment processing charges and third-party charges.

A Customer's status shall be determined by the actual purpose for which the Service is purchased and used. Merely designating an account as a business account does not deprive an individual of Consumer status where that individual is in fact acting as a Consumer under applicable law. Interaction with government bodies or institutions (partnerships, consortia, pilot projects) that goes beyond ordinary use of the public Service may be governed by a separate agreement — this section applies to it only to the extent that agreement does not provide otherwise.

11.2. Standard of performance

The Provider shall supply the Service in good faith, with reasonable care and skill, and in accordance with the description of the Service and these Terms.

Unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing, the Provider does not warrant:

  1. any particular commercial, financial, technical, legal, reputational or other outcome;
  2. that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free or completely secure;
  3. that the Service will be compatible with every device, system, platform or third-party product; or
  4. that the Service will meet expectations specific to the Customer which have not been expressly included in the agreed description of the Service.

Nothing in these Terms relieves the Provider of its obligation to supply the Service expressly agreed or excludes or limits any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

11.3. Customer responsibilities

The Customer is responsible for:

  1. the accuracy, completeness, legality and timely provision of its materials, data and instructions;
  2. obtaining all rights, permissions and lawful grounds required to provide and use those materials and data;
  3. the legality of its use of the Service and its outputs;
  4. protecting credentials, devices and systems under its control;
  5. maintaining appropriate back-up copies of its data and materials; and
  6. reviewing outputs before using them for any activity capable of producing material legal, financial, safety-related or other consequences.

The Provider shall not be liable to the extent that loss or damage arises from:

  1. an act, omission, error or breach by the Customer;
  2. inaccurate, incomplete, unlawful or late materials or instructions supplied by the Customer;
  3. use of the Service contrary to these Terms, the documentation or the Provider's written recommendations;
  4. an unauthorised modification, integration or combination of an output with another product;
  5. the operation or unavailability of a third-party platform, provider, payment system, network, software or infrastructure that the Provider does not control; or
  6. the Customer's failure to take reasonable steps to prevent or mitigate the relevant loss.

11.4. Notification and correction of defects

The Customer must notify the Provider of any material defect without undue delay and provide the information reasonably required to investigate and reproduce it.

Where the Service does not conform to an expressly agreed requirement, the Provider may, within a reasonable period:

  1. correct the affected part of the Service;
  2. re-perform the affected service or deliverable; or
  3. where correction or re-performance is impossible or disproportionate, refund the Fees actually received for the non-conforming part of the Service.

For a Business Customer, these shall be the first remedies available in respect of the relevant non-conformity. For a Consumer, this section applies in addition to, and does not restrict, any mandatory remedies available under applicable law.

11.5. Liability to Consumers

Where the Customer is a Consumer, nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any mandatory right that cannot lawfully be waived by contract.

The Provider shall be responsible to a Consumer for loss that: a) is directly caused by the Provider's breach of these Terms or failure to exercise reasonable care and skill; and b) was a reasonably foreseeable consequence of that breach when the contract was formed.

The Provider shall not be responsible to a Consumer for: a) loss that could reasonably have been avoided, including by following instructions or maintaining appropriate back-ups; b) loss caused by the Consumer's information, materials, systems or actions; c) business losses, loss of profit, revenue, contracts, opportunities or goodwill where the Service was purchased for personal and non-commercial use; or d) loss that was not reasonably foreseeable.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits the Provider's liability for: a) death or personal injury where such liability cannot lawfully be limited; b) fraud or deliberate misrepresentation; c) deliberate breach of an obligation; d) breach of a Consumer's mandatory rights relating to the quality or proper supply of the Service; e) damage caused by a defective digital product or digital content where liability cannot lawfully be limited; or f) any other liability that applicable law does not permit to be excluded or limited.

The choice of Ukrainian law does not deprive a Consumer of protection afforded by the mandatory laws of the country of the Consumer's habitual residence where those laws apply.

11.6. Liability to Business Customers

This section applies only to Business Customers.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Provider shall not be liable to a Business Customer for: a) loss of profit, revenue, sales or anticipated savings; b) loss of business, contracts, customers or commercial opportunity; c) business interruption or downtime; d) loss of or damage to data where the Business Customer has failed to maintain appropriate back-ups; e) loss of reputation or goodwill; f) the cost of obtaining substitute goods or services; g) indirect, incidental or consequential loss; or h) punitive or exemplary damages where such damages are recognised by the relevant legal system.

The Provider's aggregate liability to a Business Customer for all claims arising out of or in connection with the Service or these Terms, irrespective of the legal basis of the claim, shall not exceed 100% of the Fees paid or payable for the affected part of the Service during the 12 months immediately preceding the first event giving rise to the relevant claim. Where the affected part of the Service has been supplied for less than 12 months, the cap shall equal the Fees for the entire period during which it was supplied. Where the affected Service was supplied to a Business Customer free of charge, the Provider shall have no contractual monetary liability for that Service, except for liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

Connected events, breaches or claims shall be treated as a single claim. The existence of multiple claims, claimants or legal grounds shall not increase the aggregate cap.

The limitations shall not apply to liability for: a) deliberate breach of an obligation; b) fraud or deliberate misrepresentation; c) death or personal injury where such liability cannot lawfully be limited; or d) any other liability that applicable law does not permit to be excluded or limited.

The Provider's liability cap does not limit: a) the Business Customer's obligation to pay Fees properly due; b) the Business Customer's liability for infringement of intellectual property rights, breach of confidentiality, breach of data protection obligations or breach of restrictions governing use of the Service; or c) the Business Customer's reimbursement obligations under section 11.7.

The Business Customer acknowledges that the price of the Service reflects the allocation of risk set out in these Terms and that the Business Customer is responsible for insuring risks exceeding the agreed limits.

11.7. Third-party claims

The Business Customer shall reimburse the Provider for documented losses, liabilities, penalties, costs and reasonable professional legal fees arising from a third-party claim to the extent that the claim was directly caused by: a) materials, data or instructions supplied by the Business Customer; b) the Business Customer's infringement of a third party's intellectual property, privacy or data protection rights; c) unlawful, unauthorised or fraudulent use of the Service; or d) the Business Customer's material breach of these Terms or applicable law.

The Provider shall notify the Business Customer of the relevant claim without undue delay and provide the information reasonably required in relation to it. The Business Customer shall be entitled to participate in the defence and settlement of the claim. The Provider shall not, without reasonable grounds, agree a settlement that increases the Business Customer's reimbursement obligation without first giving the Business Customer an opportunity to state its position.

The reimbursement obligation shall not apply to the extent that the claim was directly caused by the Provider's deliberate breach.

11.8. Mitigation

A party suffering loss must take all reasonable steps to prevent and mitigate that loss. A party shall not be liable for any part of a loss that the other party could reasonably have avoided.

11.9. Events beyond reasonable control

A party shall not be liable for delay in, or failure to perform, a non-payment obligation where this is directly caused by an extraordinary and unavoidable event beyond that party's reasonable control, the consequences of which it could not reasonably have avoided or overcome.

Such events may include natural disasters, fire, flood, epidemic, war, hostilities, terrorism, civil unrest, sanctions, embargoes, acts of government, widespread power or communications failures, cyberattacks affecting external infrastructure, failures of cloud or telecommunications providers, and industrial disputes beyond the affected party's reasonable control.

Merely including an event in the above list does not relieve a party from liability. The event must satisfy the conditions above and directly prevent the performance of the relevant obligation.

The affected party must notify the other party without undue delay of the event, its expected duration and impact, and take reasonable steps to mitigate its consequences. The time for performance of the affected obligation shall be extended for the duration of the event and its direct consequences.

If the inability to perform continues for more than 60 calendar days, either party may terminate the unperformed part of the contract by written notice. The Provider shall refund Fees received for any prepaid but unsupplied part of the Service unless applicable law provides otherwise. Such an event does not relieve the Customer from paying for any Service properly supplied before the event occurred.

11.10. Basis of claims and persons involved

The exclusions and limitations apply to contractual and non-contractual claims, including claims for damages, unless mandatory law provides otherwise.

The aggregate cap includes the Provider's liability for acts and omissions of its employees, representatives and contractors whilst performing tasks for the Provider.

Contractual claims relating to the Service must be brought directly against the Provider. This provision does not restrict a claim that may, by law, be brought against another person independently of the contract.

Each exclusion and each limitation of liability shall apply separately and independently.

11.11. Governing law and dispute resolution

These Terms and any contractual or non-contractual dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them shall be governed by the laws of Ukraine.

The parties shall first attempt in good faith to resolve a dispute through negotiation. A written complaint must be sent to partnerships@dryrights.com.

Business Customers submit to the jurisdiction of the competent courts of Ukraine unless the parties expressly agree otherwise in writing.

A Consumer may bring proceedings before any court or other authority having jurisdiction under applicable mandatory law.

The choice of Ukrainian law does not deprive a Consumer of the protection afforded by the mandatory laws of the country of the Consumer's habitual residence where those laws apply.

11.12. Language versions

These Terms may be published in Ukrainian, English and other languages. The Ukrainian-language version is the controlling version. If there is any inconsistency between language versions, the Ukrainian-language version shall prevail unless mandatory law requires otherwise. This section does not permit an ambiguous or unfair term to be interpreted against a Consumer contrary to applicable law.

11.13. Severability and survival

If a provision is found to be unlawful, invalid or unenforceable, it shall apply to the maximum extent permitted by law. If partial application is not possible, the relevant provision shall be severed without affecting the validity of the remaining Terms. This section shall survive termination or expiry of the contract in relation to events occurring whilst it was in force.

12. Suspension

Access may be restricted in cases of abuse, attack, breach of these terms or a security risk.

13. Changes

Continued use after publication of changes constitutes acceptance only to the extent permitted by law.
