To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event will Enraf-Nonius or its suppliers or
resellers be liable for any indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages arising from the use of or
inability to use the product, including, without limitation, damages for loss of goodwill, work and
productivity, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all other commercial damages or losses, even if
advised of the possibility thereof, and regardless of the legal or equitable theory (contract, tort or
otherwise) upon which the claim is based. In any case, Enraf-Nonius's entire liability under any provision
of this agreement shall not exceed in the aggregate the sum of the fees paid for this product and fees for
support of the product received by Enraf-Nonius under a separate support agreement (if any), with the
exception of death or personal injury caused by the negligence of Enraf-Nonius to the extent applicable
law prohibits the limitation of damages in such cases. Enraf-Nonius cannot be held liable for any
consequence resulting from incorrect information provided by its personnel, or errors incorporated in this

The opposing party (product's user or its representative) shall disclaim Enraf-Nonius from all claims
