Under no circumstances will Meera be liable for the results of Customer use or misuse of the Services.
Certain portions of the Services, by their nature, may rely on third parties for their successful provision; the operation of which is outside of the control of Meera. Therefore, Meera makes no representations or warranties, express, implied, or by estoppel, regarding the availability, quality, or performance of any third-party services, products, or content that may be used or integrated with the Services nor for any Services that become unavailable, either in whole or part, due to the unavailability of third-party services. Meera shall not be liable for any issues, disruptions, delays, inaccuracies, or damages resulting from the use of third-party services, including, but not limited to, external APIs, platforms, networks, or other third-party software. Customer acknowledges and agrees that any reliance on third-party services is at their own risk, and Meera shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, exemplary, punitive, or consequential damages arising from the use of such third-party services.

Further, in no event shall either party be liable for any indirect, incidental, punitive, special, exemplary, or consequential damages for loss of profits, diminution in value, loss of data or other intangible property, even if such party has been advised of the possibility of such damages or such Losses were otherwise foreseeable and notwithstanding the failure of any essential purpose.
