In no case shall Viristar, LLC, our directors, officers, employees, affiliates, agents, contractors, interns, suppliers, service providers or licensors be liable for any injury, loss, claim, or any direct, indirect, incidental, punitive, special, or consequential damages of any kind, including, without limitation, lost profits, lost income or revenue, loss of business, loss of contracts, lost savings or anticipated savings, loss of data, replacement costs, loss of goodwill, wasted management or office time, or any similar damages, whether based in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability or otherwise, arising from your use of any of the service or any products procured using the service, or for any other claim related in any way to your use of the service or any product, including, but not limited to, any errors or omissions in any content, or any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of the use of the service or any content (or product) posted, transmitted, or otherwise made available via the service, even if advised of their possibility.

Because some states or jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or the limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, in such states or jurisdictions, our liability shall be limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

Outdoor, experiential, environmental and adventure activities carry risk, some of which cannot be eliminated, and such activities may be discussed or otherwise included in the service. The information provided by the service is not intended to be comprehensive or sufficient to appropriately manage those risks. Application or implementation of information, advice, guidance, suggestions or recommendations provided by the service requires significant expertise, good judgment, and experience.

Viristar recommends that prior to partaking in any outdoor, experiential, environmental or adventure activities, whether mentioned or not mentioned by Viristar, all persons obtain sufficient instruction, including on relevant risks, hazards and perils, and their mitigation or avoidance or elimination or other management, by qualified specialists and experts.

Viristar additionally recommends that organizations and entities offering or providing outdoor, experiential, environmental or adventure activities regularly and periodically obtain high-quality safety audits or risk management assessments by expertly qualified entities before offering or providing such activities.
