In particular, Customers have admin licences that allow them to personalize some aspects of the platforms and send invitations to applicants (or to remove their access).
1.1 As between us and Customer, you agree that it is solely Customer’s responsibility to:
(i) inform you of any relevant Customer policies and practices and any settings that may impact the processing of Customer Data;
(ii) obtain any rights, permissions or consents from you that are necessary for the lawful use of Customer Data and the operation of the Services;
(iii) ensure that the transfer and processing of Customer Data requested by Customer is lawful; and
(iv) respond to and resolve any dispute with you relating or based on the Customer Data, the Services, or Customer’s failure to fulfill these obligations.

We accept no responsibility or liability for any interruption or delay directly to users. We make no representations or warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, to you relating to the Services, which are provided to you on an ‘as is’ and ‘as available’ basis.
3.1 In no event will you or us have any liability to the other for any lost profits or revenues or for any indirect, special, incidental, consequential, cover or punitive damages however caused, whether in contract, tort or under any other theory of liability, and whether or not the party has been advised of the possibility of such damages. Our maximum aggregate liability to you or any user for any breach of the Terms of Use or otherwise is one hundred euro (€100) in the aggregate.
