10.3 Disclaimer. The limitations in this section apply: (a) to liability for negligence; (b) regardless
of the form of action, whether in contract, tort, equity, at law, strict product liability, or otherwise,
(c) even if Tentech is advised in advance of the possibility of the damages in question and even
if such damages were foreseeable; and (d) even if Licensee’s remedies fail in their essential
purpose. If the application of this section is limited by law Tentech’s liability will be limited to the
extent permitted by law.
10.4 Nothing in this EULA shall exclude or limit either party’s liability for: (i) death or personal
injury caused by negligence, (ii) fraud or deceit, or (iii) any other liability that cannot be excluded
by applicable law.

Licensee may not assign, transfer, or sublicense any portion of its interests, rights, or obligations under this EULA by written agreement, merger, consolidation, change of control, operation of law, or otherwise, without the prior written consent of Tentech. Neither party will be deemed to have waived any of its rights under this EULA by lapse of time or by any statement or representation other than by a written waiver by a duly authorised representative.

Tentech does not provide any warranties related to the Third Party Software. Tentech has no liability or obligation to the Licensee related to the Third Party Software.
12.12 Entire Licence Agreement. The Licence Documents set forth the entire agreement between the parties with respect to this subject matter, and supersede all other related oral and written agreements and communications between the parties. Neither party has relied upon such other agreements or communications. Any purchase order terms which purport to amend or modify terms of the Licence Documents, or which conflict with the Licence Documents are void and shall have no legal effect notwithstanding the fact the purchase order terms being later in time or Tentech issuing an invoice to Licensee after receiving such purchase order from Licensee.
