10. Limitation of Liability
By using the Koabiz platform, you acknowledge and agree that our liability to you, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), statutory duty, or otherwise, is strictly limited as described below. This limitation of liability is a key part of these Terms of Service and reflects the balance of risk between you as a user of the platform and Koabiz as the service provider. We aim to provide a reliable service, but certain risks and responsibilities cannot be fully eliminated, and we limit our liability accordingly.
10.1. No Liability for Indirect or Consequential Damages:
Koabiz will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages arising from or in connection with your use of the Service, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. This limitation includes, but is not limited to, damages resulting from:
- Loss of profits, revenue, or business opportunities: Any financial or business losses you incur as a result of your use of, or inability to use, the Service.
- Loss of data or content: Any damages or costs arising from the loss, deletion, or corruption of your data or content, including lead information, customer records, or other materials submitted to the platform.

These limitations apply even if the damages were foreseeable or if Koabiz was advised of the possibility of such damages.
10.2. Total Liability for Direct Damages:
In the event that Koabiz is found to be liable for any damages directly related to your use of the Service, our total liability to you for all claims, whether in contract, tort, statutory duty, or otherwise, will not exceed the total amount you have paid to Koabiz for the Service in the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim. If you have not paid any fees to Koabiz during this period, our total liability shall be limited to one hundred dollars ($100).
This limitation of liability applies to all claims, including but not limited to:
- Breach of contract: Claims arising from any failure by Koabiz to meet the obligations outlined in these Terms of Service.
- Negligence: Claims arising from any negligent acts or omissions by Koabiz in providing the Service.
- Product or service defects: Claims related to any defects in the platform, including errors, bugs, or functionality issues that impact your use of the Service.
10.3. No Liability for Unauthorized Use of Your Account:
Koabiz will not be liable for any damages resulting from the unauthorized use of your account. You are solely responsible for maintaining the security and confidentiality of your login credentials (username and password) and for any activity that occurs under your account. This includes:
- Unauthorized access: Any damages or losses resulting from unauthorized access to your account due to compromised login credentials or failure to implement adequate security measures on your end.
- Misuse of data: Any damages resulting from the misuse of your Submitted Data by unauthorized users who gain access to your account.
You agree to notify Koabiz immediately if you become aware of any unauthorized use of your account, so we can take steps to secure your account and prevent further unauthorized access.
10.4. No Liability for User-Generated Content:
Koabiz is not responsible for any content, data, or materials submitted by users of the platform, including lead information, customer data, or other proprietary content. You are solely responsible for the content you submit to the platform, and Koabiz disclaims all liability for:
- Accuracy of data: Any errors, inaccuracies, or omissions in the data or content you submit to the platform, including incorrect lead details, outdated customer information, or other inaccuracies.
- Violations of third-party rights: Any claims arising from the infringement of third-party intellectual property rights, privacy rights, or contractual obligations due to the content you submit to the platform.
- Harmful content: Any claims or damages arising from the submission of harmful, illegal, or malicious content to the platform, including data that violates applicable laws or regulations.
Koabiz reserves the right to remove any content that violates these Terms of Service or applicable laws, but we do not assume responsibility for policing or monitoring user-submitted content.
10.5. No Liability for Data Breaches or Security Incidents:
Koabiz takes reasonable measures to protect the security and confidentiality of the data you submit to the platform, but we do not guarantee that the Service will be free from data breaches, unauthorized access, or other security incidents. Koabiz expressly disclaims liability for:
- Security breaches: Any damages resulting from unauthorized access to your data due to hacking, cyberattacks, or other malicious activities beyond our reasonable control.
- Loss or corruption of data: Any damages resulting from the accidental loss, corruption, or deletion of your data due to system failures, software bugs, or third-party vulnerabilities.
- Delays in incident response: Any damages resulting from delays in responding to or mitigating the effects of a security breach or data loss incident.
While we strive to protect your data, you acknowledge that no online service is entirely immune to security risks, and you assume responsibility for safeguarding your account and data by following best security practices.
10.6. Exceptions to Limitation of Liability:
The limitations of liability set forth in this section do not apply to damages arising from:
- Intentional misconduct or gross negligence: Koabiz will remain liable for any damages resulting from intentional misconduct or gross negligence, as determined by applicable law.
- Breach of confidentiality: If Koabiz is found to have breached its duty to maintain the confidentiality of your data in violation of these Terms or applicable laws, the limitations of liability may not apply.
- Liability that cannot be excluded by law: In some jurisdictions, certain limitations on liability are prohibited by law. In such cases, the limitations of liability described in this section will apply to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and any exclusions or limitations that cannot be legally enforced will be modified accordingly.
10.7. Basis of the Bargain:
You acknowledge that the limitations of liability outlined in this section form an essential part of the agreement between you and Koabiz. Without these limitations, the cost of providing the Service would be significantly higher, and Koabiz would not be able to offer the platform on the same terms. These limitations allocate the risk between you and Koabiz in a manner that reflects the nature of the Service and the fees paid by you.
If you do not agree to these limitations of liability, you should not use the Service. Your continued use of the Service indicates your acceptance of these terms.
10.8. Indemnification:
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold Koabiz harmless from and against any claims, damages, liabilities, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to:
- Your use of the Service in violation of these Terms.
- Your breach of any applicable law, regulation, or third-party rights, including intellectual property or privacy rights.
- Any harm caused to Koabiz or other users due to the content you submit to the platform.
Koabiz reserves the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you, at your expense, and you agree to cooperate fully in the defense of any such claim.
