11.3. Suspension and Termination. Momentive will endeavor to warn you if there is an issue with your App’s compliance with these Terms, or a compliance issue with the manner in which you are accessing the API, so that you can attempt to remedy the problem.

Sections 3.2 (Restrictions), 9 (Momentive Brand Assets), 11.4 (Consequences of Termination), and 11.7 (IP Ownership) to 11.14 (Terms for Non-U.S. Developers) will survive the termination of these Terms.

Subject to the foregoing, you retain all worldwide rights, title and interest (including intellectual property rights) in and to your App. If you provide Momentive with any feedback or comments concerning the API or API Content, you agree that Momentive may use, reproduce, license, distribute and exploit in any other way, such feedback or comments.
11.8. Similar or Competitive Products or Services. You acknowledge that Momentive may independently develop, or have developed for it by other parties, products or services that are similar to or otherwise compete with your App, and nothing in these Terms will be construed against that.

YOU AGREE THAT MOMENTIVE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, GOODWILL, USE, DATA OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES (EVEN IF MOMENTIVE HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES), RESULTING FROM YOUR USE OF THE API OR THIRD PARTY PRODUCTS THAT ACCESS API CONTENT. IN ANY EVENT, MOMENTIVE’S AGGREGATE, CUMULATIVE LIABILITY TO YOU ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED US$100.00.
11.12. General. If any provision of these Terms is determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court, such provision shall be deemed severable and the remainder of these Terms shall remain in full force and effect. The failure by Momentive to enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of that provision or of any other provision of these Terms. You agree that you, and not Momentive, is responsible for determining which laws may apply to your use of the API and the API Content and assessing your obligations under such laws. These Terms comprise the entire agreement between you and Momentive with respect to its subject matter and supersede any prior or contemporaneous understandings, representations and other communications (written or oral) between you and Momentive.
