(e) loss of business opportunity;
(f) loss of anticipated savings; or
(g) damage to goodwill or reputation,
arising out of or in connection with the Website, the Online Services, the EY Materials or this
Agreement or any breach or non-performance of it, no matter how fundamental, whether or not the
likelihood of such loss or damage was contemplated.
10.9 Without prejudice to any exclusions of liability in this Agreement, the combined total liability of EY,
all other EY Firms and all EY Persons to you in contract, tort (including but not limited to
negligence), under statute or otherwise arising out of or in connection with the Website, the Online
Services, processing of Your Content, the EY Materials and this Agreement, including but not
limited to any breach or non-performance of this Agreement, no matter how fundamental, shall not
in any calendar year exceed: (a) the fees paid by you to EY in that calendar year under this
Agreement for the relevant Online Service; or (b) USD $100 (or equivalent in local currency),
whichever is greater. Because some states or jurisdictions do not allow for the exclusion or
limitation of certain damages, in such states or jurisdictions, the liability of EY shall be limited in
accordance with this Agreement (including but not limited to any applicable Additional Terms) to
the maximum extent permitted by law.
10.10 EY does not engage in the practice of law through the Website, and the Online Services do not
constitute legal advice; you may not consider any information provided to you through the Website
or the Online Services as legal advice or as a substitute for legal advice. Your use of the Website
and/or the Online Services does not create any attorney-client relationship between you and EY
and you are solely responsible for determining whether to seek legal advice from a qualified lawyer.
10.11 EY does not provide any assurance that its processes associated with the Website, the Online
Services and/or the EY Materials are sufficient to preserve any accountant-client, attorney-client,
work product, or any other applicable privilege or protection that you (whether in your role as a
client, as a professional, as a lawyer, or otherwise) or any third person may have or be obligated
to maintain, or that may otherwise apply to the questions and information you submit. You are
solely responsible for determining whether your use of the Website, the Online Services and/or the
EY Materials could be deemed to waive or impair in any manner any applicable privilege or
protection.
11. Providing services
11.1 You may not use the Website or Online Services to provide services to third parties without EY’s
prior written consent, in its sole discretion. If you are using the Website or Online Services to
provide services to third parties and at any time it is reasonable to anticipate that the fees payable
to EY associated with any third-party matter will exceed USD $15,000, you agree to provide written
notice thereof to EY. We may, if we receive such notice, or for any other reason, request that you
identify the applicable client or customer, the matter, and any other information as we may need to
assess the appropriate relationship between EY, you and your client or customer. In certain
circumstances, we may request that, in addition to your contractual arrangement with such client
or customer, such client or customer enters a direct contractual relationship with EY in connection
with such services.
11.2 If you use the Website and/or Online Services to assist you in formulating your own advice to your
clients or customers, you are solely responsible for any and all advice you provide to your clients
and customers. You shall not do anything to attribute, directly or indirectly, any such advice or any
specific portion of such advice to EY or any EY Firm. No such client or customer shall be or may
be deemed a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement.
