To the extent any disclaimer or limitation of liability does not apply, all applicable express, implied, and statutory warranties will be limited in duration to a period of thirty (30) days after the date on which you first used the Sowers Service, and no warranties shall apply after such period.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY: To the fullest extent permitted by law: (i) Sowers shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or exemplary damages, including but not limited to damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data or other intangible losses; and (ii) Sowers's total liability to you shall not exceed the amounts paid by you to Sowers over the twelve (12) months preceding your claim(s).

In any such action, Sowers and you irrevocably waive any right to a trial by jury.
INTERPRETATION; SEVERABILITY; WAIVER; REMEDIES: Headings are for convenience only and shall not be used to construe the terms of this Agreement. If any term of this Agreement is found invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, that term will be severed from this Agreement. No failure or delay by Sowers in exercising any right hereunder will waive any further exercise of that right. Sowers's rights and remedies hereunder are cumulative and not exclusive.
