Cumulative Damages and Duties
You agree to fully compensate Hosts for any loss or damage they experience or perceive. This includes without limitation, reduction, or offset all amounts attributable under Indemnification above, as well as the following cummulative liquidated damages. You agree to be bound to pay damages along with every party which causes harm or binds themselves to the obligation to pay hereunder, which includes without limitation any agents, advisors, thugs, criminals, lawyers, corrupt officials, creepy porn counsel or other natural persons or entities which wilfully aids in your actions related to Hosts. The obligations shall be distinct, cumulative , and all parties affiliated with You shall bear full responsibility analogous to several liability. Hosts shall reserve the right to direct any collection or execution hereunder at Hosts discretion, including without limitation arbitrary release, forebearance, or segmentation of your associates for individual settlements and stipulations obligating their provision of testimony or evidence, including but not limited to "Mary Carter" agreements.
In the even that You, or any agent on your behalf, sends or aids in the publishing of any message which any ordinary person might find threatening or at least unflattering towards or related to the Hosts, You agree to pay on demand of Hosts the sum of one thousand US Dollars ("Agreed Liquidated Damage Component" or "ALDC") in cash or gold calculated by the price as of January 15, 2022, the form of payment shall be the choice of Hosts. For each subsequent message the ALDC shall double. The doubling of the ALDC shall be in affect across every grouping of persons, agents, publishers or entities for which You share any connection. Please consider that inflation might incentivize Hosts to select payment in gold, and thus You and your associated persons might go broke.
In the event You file or authorize the filing of any suit or action naming any Hosts, and for each subsequent filing or docketed item therein or in any related proceeding, which excludes or attempts to disavow any terms of this agreement, You agree to pay Liquidated Damages, which shall be distinct and cumulative , in an amount equal to 33% of Your gross revenues of the last 3 (three) highest years taken over the last ten years. To be clear, such gross revenues shall be the sum of the gross revenues for you and each lawfirm for which an attorney aided your efforts against any Host ("33Pof3Bestof10"). To be clear, a filing by you triggers said liquidated amount each time it excludes, or attempts to disavow this agreement. Thus, a filing which omits and attempts to disavow will be twice as costly for you. In the embarrassing event that you or your counsel make 10 filings which omit any mention before revealing this agreement, your liquidated damages will be at least 10 times the 33Pof3Bestof10 amount. These liquidated damage amounts shall be irrespective of any additional damage or punitive awards in favor of Host. Furthermore, You and your counsel expressly waive any and all counterclaims, and will admit in writing of your foolish, impudent, and frivolous mistakes. In addition, your counsel will prepare at its own expense a complaint against themselves to the appropriate self-regulatory organization which ought to become aware of such foolishness. Obviously, You and your lawyers are idiots if you try to start a fight with Hosts in light of the agreed nature being opinion, satire, and free speech.
You understand that all Content originating from this site, as well as any text, data, images, summary, opinion, argument, response related thereto ("Expanded Content") is encumbered by this agreement. You agree that every party delivered or communicated any element of Expanded Content will receive this agreement. You accept the duty to inform every person, including natural persons, entities and cohorts, of this agreement and its terms in the event that they are suspected to have obtained any piece of Expanded Content by any action, referral, reference or comment on your part, or made on your behalf. You shall not deliver any Expanded Content to any party which does not explicitly accept this agreement, or for which You guaranty an implicit acceptance has been achieved.
Severability
If a court determines that any Term of Use is illegal or unenforceable, then such term will be eliminated and the remaining Terms of Use will remain in force and effect. In no event shall any delay, failure to discover or forbearance on the part of Hosts in enforcing (in whole or in part) any provision of the TERMS be or be deemed to be a waiver thereof or a waiver of any other provision or shall in any way prejudice any right of Hosts under the TERMS.
