recording feature.
And finally, a few important words from our legal team

shall HTC or its affiliates be liable to you, any user, or third party for

foreseeability thereof or whether HTC or its affiliates have been
advised of the possibility of such damages. And in no event shall the
total liability of HTC or its affiliates exceed the amount received from
you, regardless of the legal theory under which the cause of action is
