10. Disclaimer of Warranties
Our services are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory. H&T GAMING does not warrant that our services will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components.

Our total aggregate liability for any claims arising under these Terms shall not exceed the total amount of revenue share payments made to you by H&T GAMING in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.
12. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless H&T GAMING and its directors, officers, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your violation of these Terms; (b) your violation of any applicable law or third-party rights; (c) your website content; (d) invalid traffic originating from your properties; or (e) any dispute between you and a third party relating to your use of our services.

Each party agrees to keep confidential any non-public information received from the other party, including but not limited to revenue data, pricing, business strategies, technical specifications, and proprietary technology. This obligation shall survive termination of the service relationship for a period of two (2) years.
14. Force Majeure
Neither party shall be liable for any failure or delay in performing its obligations under these Terms due to circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, pandemics, government actions, power failures, internet disruptions, or third-party service outages (including Google platform outages).
15. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales.
Any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms shall first be attempted to be resolved through good-faith negotiation between the parties. If the dispute cannot be resolved within 30 days, it shall be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
16. Severability
If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. The invalid provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable while preserving its original intent.
17. Entire Agreement
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, Data Processing Addendum, and any individual Publisher Agreement, constitute the entire agreement between you and H&T GAMING regarding your use of our services. These Terms supersede any prior agreements, communications, or understandings, whether written or oral.

H&T GAMING reserves the right to modify these Terms at any time. Material changes will be communicated via email to registered publishers or by posting a prominent notice on our website at least 14 days before they take effect.
