2. Service Engagements

Professional services (e.g., web development, mobile app development, AI integration, consulting) are governed by a separate written agreement, statement of work (SOW), or engagement letter ("Service Agreement"). These Terms apply to the extent not superseded by a Service Agreement. In the event of conflict, the Service Agreement prevails.

OUR WEBSITE AND SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, or accuracy. We do not warrant that our website or services will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components.

Deliverables. Deliverables provided under a Service Agreement are subject to the warranties (if any) expressly stated in that agreement. Absent such express warranties, deliverables are provided "as is."

• No indirect damages. Syncore and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, data, revenue, or business opportunities.
• Liability cap. Our total aggregate liability for any claims arising from or related to these Terms, our website, or our services shall not exceed the amount paid by you to us for the specific services giving rise to the claim in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim, or one hundred United States dollars (USD $100), whichever is greater.
• Scope applies. The foregoing limitations apply whether the claim is based on contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or any other theory, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

6. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Syncore and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, and licensors from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from or related to: (a) your use of our website or services; (b) your violation of these Terms; (c) your violation of any third-party rights; (d) content or data you provide to us; (e) your negligence or misconduct; or (f) any dispute between you and a third party.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which Syncore Online LLC is incorporated, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any dispute arising from these Terms or our services shall be resolved through binding arbitration or in the courts of that jurisdiction, as specified in the applicable Service Agreement or as we may designate.
