To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, we expressly disclaim any and all liability that may arise between you and any Third-Party Sellers. The service merely provides a venue for connecting our users with Third-Party Sellers. Since LightInTheBox is not any party to the actual agreement between you and any Third-Party Sellers that you purchase a product from, in the event that you have a dispute with any Third-Party Sellers, you release LightInTheBox, its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, and all of their officers, employees, investors, shareholders, agents, partners, predecessor, successor and licensors, but excluding any Third-Party Sellers (each a “LightInTheBox Party” and collectively, the “LightInTheBox Parties” ) from any and all claims, demands, or damages (actual or consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes.

If you are a California resident, you hereby waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which states, “A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.” The foregoing release does not apply to any claims, demands, or any losses, damages, rights and actions of any kind, including personal injuries, death or property damage for any unconscionable commercial practice by a party or for such party’s fraud, deception, false, promise, misrepresentation or concealment, suppression or omission of any material fact in connection with the Services.
