In addition, in no event, even if we are negligent will we be liable for any loss or damage suffered by you that is caused by any one or more of:

  • The actions of, or any failure to act by a Third Party or Service Provider (and no such Third Party will be considered to be acting as our agent);

You may not assign or transfer these Terms or any of the obligations or rights under these Terms to any other person.
