While online service providers can include an exclusion clause in their terms of use to limit their liability, this does not mean that they can always and absolutely avoid all liability from third parties. There are still instances where such exclusion clauses may be considered invalid or unenforceable. Additionally, the exclusion clause must be sufficiently brought to the attention of users in order for it to be upheld.
