In no event shall our maximum aggregate liability exceed one hundred U.S. dollars ($100.00), plus the value of the products you purchased from us, should those products prove to be defective. Because some countries do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, in such countries, our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

                                                                                  17. Indemnification

                                                                                    You agree to defend, indemnify and hold us harmless for any loss, damages or costs, including reasonable legal fees, resulting from any third party claim, action, or demand resulting from your use of the Website. You also agree to indemnify us for any loss, damages, or costs, including reasonable legal fees, resulting from your use of software robots, spiders, crawlers, or similar data gathering and extraction tools, or any other action you take that imposes an unreasonable burden or load on our infrastructure.

                                                                                      18. Disputes

                                                                                        To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any dispute relating in any way to your visit to the Website and any purchase by you of any products from Amouage shall be submitted to confidential arbitration in Dubai, UAE or New York, USA if you reside in a country in North America or South America, except that, to the extent you have in any manner violated or threatened to violate our intellectual property rights, we may seek injunctive or other appropriate relief in the English Courts or other applicable courts, and you consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in such courts. Arbitration under this agreement shall be conducted under the rules then prevailing of the International Chamber of Commerce. The arbitrator's award shall be binding and may be entered as a judgement in any court of competent jurisdiction. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no arbitration under this Agreement shall be joined to an arbitration involving any other party subject to this Agreement, whether through class arbitration proceedings or otherwise. To the extent arbitration is not permitted by applicable law, any dispute relating in any way to your visit to the Website or your purchase of Amouage products shall be submitted to civil court located in Dubai, UAE or New York, USA if you reside in a country in North America or South America, and all applicable provisions of this Section 22 shall apply.

                                                                                        No Class Actions or Representative Proceedings. You and Amouage acknowledge and agree to waive the right to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action lawsuit, class-wide arbitration, private attorney-general action, or any other representative proceeding as to all disagreements, disputes, or controversies of any kind or nature. Further, unless you and Amouage both otherwise agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one party’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding.

                                                                                          19. General

                                                                                            You acknowledge and agree that these Terms and Conditions, together with our Privacy Policy and Refund Policy, constitute the complete and exclusive agreement between us concerning your use of the Website and any purchase by you of any products from Amouage, and supersede and govern all prior proposals, agreements, or other communications.

                                                                                            If any provision of these Terms and Conditions is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part, then these Terms and Conditions shall continue to be valid as to the other provisions and the remainder of the affected provision. Any waiver of any of the provisions of these Terms and Conditions by Amouage shall not be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach or default and shall in no way affect the other provisions of these Terms and Conditions.

                                                                                            No failure to exercise and no delay on the part of either party in exercising any right, remedy, power or privilege of that party under these Terms and Conditions and no course of dealing between the parties shall be construed or operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights and remedies provided by these Terms and Conditions are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law. Time shall not be of the essence of these Terms and Conditions as regards any of the times, dates and/or periods mentioned herein.

                                                                                            Nothing contained in these Terms and Conditions shall be construed as creating any agency, partnership, or other form of joint enterprise between us.

                                                                                            We reserve the right to change these Terms and Conditions at any time and we encourage you to revisit these Terms and Conditions periodically to ensure that you are at all times fully aware of our Terms and Conditions.

You shall comply immediately with any termination or other notice, including, as applicable, by ceasing all use of the Website.

                                                                                            We reserve the right to refuse to supply goods to any person for any reason whatsoever, to withdraw any goods from the Website at any time and/or remove or edit any materials or content on the Website.
