This Agreement does not grant you any right or license with respect to any such trademarks and logos.

5. Disclaimer
   Some countries and jurisdictions do not allow the disclaimer of implied terms in contracts with consumers and as a result the contents of this section may not apply to you. Do not rely on Asia Climate Lab or its suppliers, any information therein, or its continuation. We provide the platform for Asia Climate Lab and all information and services on an “as is” and “as available” basis. Asia Climate Lab does not control or vet user generated content for accuracy.

This limitation of liability is part of the basis of the bargain between the parties and without it the terms and prices charged would be different. This limitation of liability shall:

• Apply regardless of whether (1) you base your claim on contract, tort, statute or any other legal theory, (2) we knew or should have known about the possibility of such damages, or (3) the limited remedies provided in this section fail of their essential purpose; and
• Not apply to any damage that Asia Climate Lab may cause you intentionally or knowingly in violation of this Agreement or applicable law, or as otherwise mandated by applicable law that cannot be disclaimed in this Agreement.
