10. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
- IN NO EVENT SHALL "THE LICENSOR" BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING ANY OR ALL GENERAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR USE OF THE "LICENSED SOFTWARE" OR CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION, HOWEVER CAUSED, ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, AND WHETHER OR NOT "THE LICENSOR" HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE. THESE LIMITATIONS SHALL APPLY NOTWITHSTANDING ANY FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY.
- Notwithstanding the foregoing, any damages that you might incur for any reason whatsoever (including, without limitation, all damages referenced above and all direct or general damages), the entire liability of the Licensor and any of its suppliers under any provision of this Agreement and your exclusive remedy for all of the foregoing shall be limited to the greater of the amount, if any, actually paid by the first owner of your license (you or - in case of a license transfer according to §5.2 of this Agreement - the initial licensee) for the Licensed Software or U.S. $5.00. The foregoing limitations, exclusions and disclaimers shall apply to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, even if any remedy fails its essential purpose.

- Neither party will be liable for any indirect, punitive, special, incidental or consequential damage in connection with or arising out of this Agreement, including loss of business, revenue, profits, use, data or other economic advantage, however it arises, whether for breach or in tort, even if that party has been previously advised of the possibility of such damage.
11. GOVERNING LAW/PLACE OF PERFORMANCE AND JURISDICTION/DISPUTE RESOLUTION
- Exclusively German law applies, with the exception of the CISG, even if the Licensee has his/her residential or business seat abroad. If the Licensee is a Consumer, this choice of law shall not, however, have the result of depriving the consumer of the protection afforded to him by provisions that cannot be derogated from by agreement by virtue of the law which, in the absence of choice, would have been applicable on the basis according to Art. 6 I of the ROM I (REGULATION (EC) No 593/2008).
- The place of performance is Königswinter, Germany.
- For all present and future claims from this Agreement, the exclusive jurisdiction is Königswinter, Germany. The same jurisdiction applies if the Licensee has no general jurisdiction inside Germany, if he/she relocates his/her residence or habitual abode out of the country, or if his/her residence or habitual abode is not known at the time of institution of legal proceedings. Mandatory regulations of the EuGVVO [Europäisches Gerichtsstands- und Vollstreckungsverordnung (Council Regulation (EC) on Jurisdiction and the Recognition and Enforcement of Judgments in Civil and Commercial Matters)] are unaffected hereby.
- By agreeing to these terms and conditions, in the event of any claim you may have arising from or related to the Licensed Software or this Agreement you agree you hereby waive any right to participate in any type of law suit brought and/or maintained as a class action or similar in nature to a class action.
12. GENERAL TERMS AND INDEMNITY
- Any action relating to or arising out of this Agreement shall be governed by German law.
- Neither party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, without the prior written consent of the other party, except that the Licensor may assign this Agreement to any other company.
- If any part of this Agreement is found void and unenforceable, it will not affect the validity of the balance of the Agreement, which shall remain valid and enforceable according to its terms. In the event that it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction as a part of a final non-appealable judgement that any provision of this Agreement (or part thereof) is invalid, illegal, or otherwise unenforceable, such provision will be enforced as nearly as possible in accordance with the stated intention of the parties, while the remainder of the Agreement will remain in full force and effect and the parties will be bound by obligations which approximate, as closely as possible, the effect of the provision found invalid or unenforceable, without being themselves invalid or unenforceable. The waiver of any breach or default shall not constitute a waiver of any other right in this Agreement or any subsequent breach or default. No waiver shall be effective unless in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the party to be bound. Failure to pursue, or delay in pursuing, any remedy for a breach shall not constitute a waiver of such breach.
- The Licensee agrees that the Licensee shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Licensor, and its respective officers, directors, employees, agents, successors, and assigns, from any damage, allegation, cost, loss, liability, or expense (including court costs and reasonable fees for attorneys or other professionals) arising out of or resulting from or in connexion with any breach or claimed breach of the terms of this Agreement or warranties provided herein.
