The Creators hereby disclaim any and all express or implied warranties, including without limitation, any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title or infringement. In no event will the Creators have any liability to you or to any other party for any losses or damages you may suffer directly or indirectly, or for any expense or costs you may incur in connection with the use of the ADU Plans.

Your sole and exclusive remedy shall be to stop use of the ADU Plans.
   
   4.

   7. The undersigned agrees to protect, indemnify, defend, release and hold the Creators free and harmless from any and all losses, claims, liens, demands, and causes of action of every kind and character including but not limited to, the amounts of judgments, penalties, interest, court costs, legal fees, and all other expensed incurred by the Creators arising in favor of any party, including claims, liens, debts, personal injuries, death or damages to property and without limitation by enumeration, all other claims or demands of every character occurring or in any way incident to, in connection with, or arising directly or indirectly out of the use of the ADU Plans.
