21. LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY
Platform Liability:
- Raven Logistics acts as an intermediary platform connecting users and delivery companies. While we facilitate the booking and communication process, we do not directly handle or deliver parcels. Therefore, our liability is limited to the extent permissible by law.
Delivery Company Responsibility:
- The delivery company you select through our platform is solely responsible for the handling, transportation, and delivery of your parcels. This includes ensuring the safe and timely delivery of items and addressing any damages or losses that occur during transit.
- Any claims for damages, losses, or delays must be directed to the respective delivery company. Raven Logistics is not responsible for any issues arising from the delivery process, including but not limited to damaged, lost, or delayed parcels.
No Warranty:
- Raven Logistics provides the platform and services "as is" and "as available" without any warranties, express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the platform will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure.
Limitation of Damages:
- To the fullest extent permitted by law, Raven Logistics shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, punitive, or exemplary damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, revenue, data, or use, incurred by you or any third party, whether in an action in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty, or otherwise, arising from or related to your use of our platform or services.
Maximum Liability:
- In no event shall the total liability of Raven Logistics, whether in contract, warranty, tort (including negligence), product liability, strict liability, or other theory, arising out of or relating to the use of or inability to use the platform or services exceed the amount paid by you, if any, for accessing or using the platform or services during the six (6) months preceding the date of the claim.

We will use reasonable efforts to notify you of any such claim, action, or proceeding which is subject to this indemnification upon becoming aware of it.
23. USER DATA
We will maintain certain data that you transmit to the Services for the purpose of managing the performance of the Services, as well as data relating to your use of the Services.

These Legal Terms and any policies or operating rules posted by us on the Services or in respect to the Services constitute the entire agreement and understanding between you and us.
