SHOULD THE SOFTWARE PROVE DEFECTIVE, REAILIZE MAY CHOOSE TO REPLACE THE LICENSEE’S COPY OF THE SOFTWARE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR LIMITATION ON APPLICABLE STATUTORY RIGHTS OF A CONSUMER, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSION AND LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.<br>
<b>11. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY</b><br>
<b>I. IF YOU ACQUIRED THE SOFTWARE IN EUROPE</b><br>
Limitation of Liability<br>
11. <b>a)</b> Reailize shall only be liable without restriction according to the statutory provisions for damages of the Licensee caused by intentional or gross negligent conduct of Reailize or its agents. The same applies to personal injury and damages according to the German Product Liability Act or comparable laws in other jurisdictions that may apply.<br>
11. <b>b)</b> Otherwise, the liability of Reailize for damage claims – for whatever legal reason – is limited in accordance with the following conditions, unless otherwise provided by an explicit guarantee of Reailize:<br>
i. For damages caused by slight negligence, Reailize is only liable insofar as they cause damage to contractual obligations (cardinal obligations). Cardinal obligations are those contractual obligations that must be fulfilled in order to ensure orderly implementation of the contract and in whose observance the User should be able to trust. Insofar as Reailize is responsible for simple negligence hereafter, the liability of Reailize is limited to the typically foreseeable losses.<br>
ii. The liability of the Reailize for damages caused by loss of data and/or programs lost by slight negligence is limited to the typical cost of restoration, which would have been incurred in case of regular and appropriate data backup and data protection by the Licensee.<br>
iii. The provisions of the above paragraph apply correspondingly to the limitation of damages for unsuccessful expenses (§ 284 of the German Civil Code [BGB]).<br>
11. <b>c)</b> The above liability restrictions shall also apply to agents of the Reailize.<br>
<b>II. IF YOU ACQUIRED THE SOFTWARE OUTSIDE EUROPE</b><br>
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY: TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL REAILIZE OR ITS AFFILIATES BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF BUSINESS PROFITS, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOSS OF BUSINESS INFORMATION, OR ANY OTHER PECUNIARY LOSS) ARISING OUT OF THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SOFTWARE OR DEFECT IN OR CAUSED BY THE SOFTWARE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO COMPROMISING THE SECURITY OF YOUR COMPUTER, OPERATING SYSTEM OR FILES, OR THE PROVISION OF OR FAILURE TO PROVIDE SUPPORT SERVICES, EVEN IF REAILIZE HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN ANY CASE, REAILIZE’S ENTIRE LIABILITY UNDER ANY PROVISION OF THIS EULA SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT ACTUALLY PAID BY YOU FOR THE SOFTWARE OR REPLACEMENT OF THE SOFTWARE WITH A PRODUCT OF COMPARABLE RETAIL VALUE, AS REAILIZE MAY ELECT IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION. BECAUSE SOME STATES AND JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU IN PART OR WHOLE.<br>
