Licensee shall not disclose Licensed Materials or Performance Data or any part thereof to anyone for any purpose, other than to its employees and sub-contractors for the purpose of exercising the rights expressly granted under this Agreement, provided they have in writing agreed to confidentiality obligations at least equivalent to the obligations stated herein.

c) Licensee's claims for defects are excluded:
- for insignificant divergences from the agreement or specification;
- for damages caused after the transfer of risk by external influences such as fire, water, currency surge, etc.; improper installation, operation, use or maintenance; use in fields of application and environmental conditions other than those expressly specified by 4tiitoo; and use in combination with other products not approved by 4tiitoo for this purpose, excessive stress or normal wear and tear;

(6) Liability Limitations
a) 4tiitoo is only liable for damages caused by slight negligence if such are due to a material breach of duty, which endangers the achievement of the objective of the Agreement, or the failure to comply with duties, the very discharge of which is an essential prerequisite for the proper performance of the Agreement.
b) In cases of Section 6 a), the liability is limited to the damage, which is typical for contracts like this Agreement and which could have been foreseen.
c) 4tiitoo's liability is also limited to the damage, which is typical for contracts like this Agreement and which could have been foreseen for damages caused by the gross negligence of an agent or an employee of 4tiitoo, who is not an officer or executive of 4tiitoo.

e) Licensee's claims for damages caused by slight negligence or caused by the gross negligence of an agent or an employee of 4tiitoo, who is not an officer or executive of 4tiitoo, which are not based on defects and thus not subject to time-barring in accordance with Sec. 5 d) are time-barred at the latest 2 years from the point in time Licensee became aware of the damage and regardless of Licensee's awareness at the latest 3 years after the damaging event.
f) With the exception of liability under the Product Liability Law, for defects after having given a guarantee, for fraudulently concealed defects and for personal injury, the above limitations of liability shall apply to all claims, irrespective of their legal basis, in particular to all claims based on breach of contract or tort.
g) The above limitations of liability also apply in case of Licensee's claims for damages against 4tiitoo's employees or agents.
(7) 4tiitoo Indemnity
4tiitoo will defend or settle any action brought against Licensee to the extent based on a claim that Licensed Materials, used within the scope of the license granted in this Agreement, infringe any copyright valid in the European Union or the European Economic Area and will pay the cost of any final settlement or judgment attributable to such claim, provided (i) Licensee has given prompt notice to 4tiitoo of such claim, (ii) Licensee has not recognized an infringement of the third party's copyright, and (iii) the entire defense and the settlement negotiations are reserved for 4tiitoo with Licensee's full cooperation and support. If Licensee discontinues the use of Licensed Materials for damage reduction or other important reasons, Licensee is obligated to point out to the third party that the discontinuation of use does not constitute an acknowledgement of a copyright infringement. If 4tiitoo believes Licensed Materials are likely to be the subject of an infringement claim, it may elect to replace or modify such Software or Documentation to make it non-infringing or terminate the Agreement on written notice to Licensee. 4tiitoo shall have no obligation to defend (or any other liability) to the extent any claim involves a Software release other than the current, unaltered release, if such would have avoided infringement, or use of the Software in combination with non-4tiitoo programs or data, unless the infringement would also incur without such combination. The foregoing states the entire obligation and liability of 4tiitoo with respect to any infringement by Licensed Materials of any intellectual property rights or other proprietary rights of Licensee or a third party without prejudice to any claims for damages in accordance with Section 6.
(8) Licensee Indemnity
Licensee will defend and indemnify 4tiitoo, and hold it harmless from all costs, including attorney's fees, arising from any claim that may be made against 4tiitoo by any third party as a result of Licensee's use of Licensed Materials, excluding claims for which 4tiitoo is obligated to defend or indemnify Licensee under Section 7.
