To the maximum extent permitted by law, Appco will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, or any loss of data, profits, or goodwill, even if advised of the possibility. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the amounts you paid to us in the 12 months before the claim.
