6. Intellectual Property Rights

The Website and its entire contents, features, and functionality — including but not limited to all text, graphics, logos, icons, images, audio clips, video clips, data compilations, software, and the design, selection, and arrangement thereof — are the exclusive property of Street Voices, its licensors, or other providers of such material and are protected by Canadian and international copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, and other intellectual property or proprietary rights laws.

“Street Voices” and the Street Voices logo are trademarks of Street Voices. You may not use these trademarks without the prior written permission of Street Voices. All other trademarks, service marks, trade names, and logos appearing on the Website are the property of their respective owners.

No right, title, or interest in or to the Website or any content on the Website is transferred to you as a result of your use of the Website. Nothing in these Terms grants you the right to use any of Street Voices' trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos, domain names, or other distinctive brand features without our express written consent. Any unauthorized use of the Website's content or intellectual property may violate copyright, trademark, and other applicable laws and could result in criminal or civil penalties.

7. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall Street Voices, its directors, officers, employees, agents, partners, suppliers, or affiliates be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including without limitation loss of profits, data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses, resulting from (i) your access to or use of, or inability to access or use, the Website; (ii) any conduct or content of any third party on the Website; (iii) any content obtained from the Website; or (iv) unauthorized access, use, or alteration of your transmissions or content, whether based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence), or any other legal theory, whether or not we have been informed of the possibility of such damage.

In no event shall the aggregate liability of Street Voices arising out of or in connection with these Terms or the use of the Website exceed the total amount paid by you to Street Voices, if any, during the twelve (12) months preceding the date of the claim, or one hundred Canadian dollars (CAD $100.00), whichever is less.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain warranties or the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages. Accordingly, some of the above limitations and disclaimers may not apply to you. To the extent that Street Voices may not, as a matter of applicable law, disclaim any warranty or limit its liability, the scope and duration of such warranty and the extent of Street Voices' liability shall be the minimum permitted under such applicable law.

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Street Voices and its officers, directors, employees, agents, licensors, suppliers, and any third-party information providers from and against all losses, expenses, damages, liabilities, and costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of or relating to: (i) your use of or inability to use the Website; (ii) your violation of these Terms; (iii) your violation of any rights of a third party, including intellectual property rights; or (iv) any User Content you post on or through the Website.

Street Voices reserves the right, at its own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you. In such cases, you agree to cooperate with our defense of such claims. This indemnification obligation will survive the termination of these Terms and your use of the Website.
