To the extent allowed by applicable law, implied warranties on the Licensed Product, if any, are limited to ninety (90) days. Some states/jurisdictions do not allow limitations on duration of warranty, so the above limitation may not apply to you.

5.2	SCM's and its suppliers' entire liability and your exclusive remedy shall be, at SCM's option, either (a) return of the price paid, if any, or (b) repair or replacement of the Licensed Product that does not meet SCM's Limited Warranty and that is returned to SCM with a copy of your receipt.

THIS LIMITED WARRANTY GIVES YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS. YOU MAY HAVE OTHERS, WHICH VARY FROM STATE/JURISDICTION TO STATE/JURISDICTION.

5.4	TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL SCM OR ITS SUPPLIERS 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 LICENSED PRODUCT OR THE FAILURE TO PROVIDE SUPPORT SERVICES, EVEN IF SCM HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN ANY CASE, SCM'S ENTIRE LIABILITY UNDER ANY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF THE AMOUNT ACTUALLY PAID BY YOU FOR THE LICENSED PRODUCT OR U.S.$ 10.000; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, IF YOU HAVE ENTERED INTO A SCM SUPPORT SERVICES AGREEMENT, SCM'S ENTIRE LIABILITY REGARDING SUPPORT SERVICES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE TERMS OF THAT AGREEMENT. BECAUSE SOME STATES/JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
