5.3 WARRANTY LIMITATIONS. This Article 5.0 sets forth the sole and exclusive remedies for all claims based on an Error in or with the Software and/or Documentation, whether the Error arises before or during the Warranty Period and whether a claim, however instituted, is based on contract, indemnity, warranty, tort (including negligence) or civil liability, strict liability, or otherwise. The warranties provided herein are exclusive and are in lieu of all other warranties and guarantees whether written, oral, implied or statutory. THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF ACTIVU SET FORTH IN THIS EULA ARE IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.

Article 6.0 Termination
6.1 This License is effective until terminated. ACTIVU may terminate the license granted under this EULA immediately if Licensee fails to comply with any of the terms and conditions of this EULA or in the Contract Documents.

7.2 Licensee acknowledges: (a) any use of the Software or Documentation, in a manner inconsistent with this EULA or (b) any other misuse of the Confidential Information of ACTIVU will cause immediate irreparable harm to ACTIVU for which there is no adequate remedy at law.

LICENSEE’S TOTAL RECOURSE AND REMEDIES AVAILABLE TO LICENSEE UNDER ANY PROVISION OF THIS EULA OR OTHERWISE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT LICENSEE PAID FOR THE LICENSE OF THE SOFTWARE.
NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING IN THIS EULA TO THE CONTRARY, ACTIVU SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY OR RESPONSIBILITY FOR SOFTWARE ALTERED, MODIFIED, OR CONVERTED, OR FOR DAMAGES RESULTING FROM ACCIDENT, ABUSE, OR MISAPPLICATION, OR FOR PROBLEMS DUE TO THE MALFUNCTION OF EQUIPMENT OR SOFTWARE NOT SUPPLIED BY ACTIVU.
THESE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY ARE REFLECTED IN THE PRICE FOR THE SOFTWARE LICENSE AND SHALL APPLY NOTWITHSTANDING THE FAILURE OF THE ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY. THE ALLOCATION OF RISKS AND LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY AND DAMAGES ARE DELIBERATE AND THE CONSIDERATION WAS DETERMINED ACCORDINGLY. THE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY SET FORTH IN THIS EULA INURE TO THE BENEFIT OF ACTIVU, ITS AFFILIATES, SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.
