[Noisebridge-discuss] Fwd: Notice of Paypal Policy Updates

[Alexandra Glowaski]

I recommend reading the whole update. Their email doesn't mention the
section "Limitations of Liability":

Section 15.1 is being amended to add that in addition to the limitations
already stated under that provision, to the extent permitted by applicable
law, PayPal is not liable, and *you agree not to hold PayPal responsible
for any damages or losses (including, but not limited to, loss of money,
goodwill, or reputation, profits, or other intangible losses or any
special, indirect, or consequential damages) resulting directly or
indirectly from:* (1) Your use of or your inability to use PayPal’s sites
and services; (2) delays or disruptions in PayPal’s sites and services; (3)
viruses or other malicious software obtained by accessing PayPal’s sites or
services or any site or service linked to PayPal’s sites or services; *(4)
glitches, bugs, errors, or inaccuracies of any kind in PayPal’s sites or
services *or in the information and graphics obtained from them; (5) the
content, actions, or inactions of third parties; (6) a suspension or *other
action taken with respect to your Account;* (7) your need to modify
practices, content, or behavior, or your loss of or inability to do
business, as a result of changes to this User Agreement or PayPal’s
policies.
[Bolding mine.]

Certainly something to consider.
