117          derivative works created or developed by You using the Software

129
130   5.  Limitation of Liability
131
132      a.  TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAWS, UNDER NO
133          CIRCUMSTANCES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION NEGLIGENCE, SHALL
134          LICENSOR, ITS AFFILIATES AND/OR ITS DIRECTORS, OFFICERS,
135          EMPLOYEES OR AGENTS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL,
136          SPECIAL, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING BUT NOT
137          LIMITED TO DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF BUSINESS PROFITS, BUSINESS
138          INTERRUPTION, LOSS OF BUSINESS INFORMATION AND THE LIKE) ARISING
139          OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SOFTWARE OR ANY DOWNLOAD,
140          INSTALLATION OR USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE SOFTWARE, EVEN IF
141          LICENSOR HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
142          DAMAGES. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATION OR
143          EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES SO
144          THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY OR MAY BE LIMITED.
145          IN NO EVENT SHALL LICENSOR'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY
146          TO YOU FOR ANY AND ALL DAMAGES, LOSSES, CLAIMS AND CAUSES OF
147          ACTIONS (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE,
148          INDEMNIFICATION OR OTHERWISE) EXCEED ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS
149          (US$100). THE LIMITATIONS SET FORTH IN THIS PARAGRAPH SHALL BE
150          DEEMED TO APPLY TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
151          THE PARTIES HAVE FULLY CONSIDERED THE FOREGOING ALLOCATION OF RISK
152          AND FIND IT REASONABLE, AND THAT THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS IN THIS
153          PARAGRAPH ARE AN ESSENTIAL BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN THE
154          PARTIES.
155
156   6.  No Warranty
157
158      a.  LICENSOR MAKES NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH
159          RESPECT TO THE SOFTWARE AND DOCUMENTATION PROVIDED UNDER THIS

163          TRADE USAGE OR OUT OF A COURSE OF DEALING OR COURSE OF PERFORMANCE.
164          NOTHING CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED AS A
165          WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION BY LICENSOR (I) AS TO THE VALIDITY OR
166          SCOPE OF ANY PATENT, COPYRIGHT OR OTHER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHT
167          AND (II) THAT ANY MANUFACTURE OR USE WILL BE FREE FROM INFRINGEMENT
168          OF PATENTS, COPYRIGHTS OR OTHER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OF

170          DETERMINATION AS IS NECESSARY WITH RESPECT TO THE ACQUISITION OF
171          LICENSES UNDER PATENTS AND OTHER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY OF THIRD
172          PARTIES. Licensor SHALL NOT HAVE ANY OBLIGATION TO

191
192      a.  Governing Law. This Agreement is governed and interpreted in
193          accordance with the laws of the State of California without giving

202          performance by the other party of any provision of this Agreement
203          shall not affect the full right to require such performance at any
204          time thereafter; nor shall the waiver by either party of a breach
205          of any provision of this Agreement be taken or held to be a waiver
206          of the provision itself. Severability. If any provision of this
207          Agreement is unenforceable or invalid under any applicable law or
208          is so held by applicable court decision, such unenforceability or
209          invalidity shall not render this Agreement unenforceable or invalid
210          as a whole, and such provision shall be changed and interpreted so
211          as to best accomplish the objectives of such unenforceable or
212          invalid provision within the limits of applicable law or
213          applicable court decisions.
214
215      c.  Amendment and Modification. This Agreement and any of its terms and
216          provisions may only be amended, modified, supplemented or waived in
