13. Limitation of Liability
13.1 To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall either party, its respective affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, suppliers, licensors or service providers (and, with respect to Billsby Limited, the Sub-Processors) be liable for any indirect, punitive, cover, special, exemplary, incidental or consequential damages of any type or kind (including, without limitation, damages for lost profits, lost revenue, lost sales, lost goodwill, loss of use or lost content, impact on business, business interruption, loss of anticipated savings, loss of business opportunity), however caused, under any theory of liability, including, without limitation, contract, tort, warranty, breach of statutory duty, negligence or otherwise, even if advised of the possibility of such damages or could have foreseen such damages. 13.2 To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the aggregate liability of each party, its respective affiliates, officers, employees, agents, suppliers, licensors, and service providers (and, with respect to Billsby Limited, the Sub-Processors) relating to the Services, use thereof and these terms shall be limited to an amount equal to the Subscription Fee paid or payable by you in the six (6) months prior to the first event or occurrence giving rise to such liability, in connection with the Subscription to which the claim relates. 13.3 For the avoidance of doubt, the above limitations shall not limit your payment obligations to us for the Services. No claim may be pursued by you more than one (1) year after the facts giving rise to such claim have arisen.
