Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, sambucnvuv's total liability to you for any claims arising from or related to these Terms or your use of our services shall not exceed the amount of membership fees paid by you in the 12 months preceding the claim.
sambucnvuv shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you. In such jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the greatest extent permitted by law.

- Your negligent or wrongful conduct
Governing Law
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Netherlands, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes arising under or in connection with these Terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
If you are a consumer residing in the European Union, you may also bring proceedings in the courts of the country where you live, and you may benefit from any mandatory provisions of the law of the country where you live.
Dispute Resolution
Before filing any formal legal proceedings, you agree to first contact sambucnvuv to seek resolution of any dispute. We are committed to resolving disputes amicably and in good faith.
For consumer disputes, you may also use the European Commission's Online Dispute Resolution platform, available at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr, or contact relevant consumer protection authorities in your jurisdiction.
Force Majeure
sambucnvuv shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performance under these Terms that is due to causes beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, labor disputes, government actions, or public health emergencies.
In the event of force majeure, sambucnvuv will make reasonable efforts to minimize disruption and may offer alternative arrangements or membership extensions as appropriate.
