Art. 13 — Limitation of liability
To the extent permitted by applicable law, SLAB's total liability for any damage arising from use of the services is limited to the consideration paid by the Coworker in the month in which the damaging event occurred. SLAB is in no circumstances liable for indirect, consequential, loss of profit or data loss damages.
Art. 14 — Governing law and jurisdiction
These General Terms are governed by Italian law. For any dispute relating to the interpretation, performance or termination of the contract, the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Milan applies.
For Coworkers who qualify as consumers pursuant to Italian Legislative Decree 206/2005 (Consumer Code), territorial jurisdiction shall be that of the consumer's place of residence or domicile, in accordance with Art. 33(2)(u) of that decree.
Art. 15 — Final provisions
These General Terms supersede and replace all prior written or verbal agreements between the parties. Should one or more clauses prove invalid or ineffective, the remaining clauses shall retain full validity. SLAB's failure to enforce any clause does not constitute a waiver of that clause.
