THE ENTIRE LIABILITY OF GEOTEST AND ITS REPRESENTATIVES AND DISTRIBUTORS (INCLUDING THAT OF THEIR DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS) IS SET FORTH ABOVE. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL GEOTEST AND ITS REPRESENTATIVES AND DISTRIBUTORS (INCLUDING THEIR DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS) BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY SPECIAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, EXPENSES, LOST PROFITS, LOST SAVINGS, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOST BUSINESS INFORMATION, OR ANY OTHER DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PRODUCTS, EVEN IF GEOTEST HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. CUSTOMER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE APPLICABLE PURCHASE PRICE OR LICENSE FEE FOR THE PRODUCTS REFLECTS THIS ALLOCATION OF RISK. BECAUSE SOME STATES/JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY. IF THE FOREGOING LIMITATION OF LIABILITY IS NOT ENFORCEABLE BECAUSE A GEOTEST PRODUCT SOLD OR LICENSED TO CUSTOMER IS DETERMINED BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION IN A FINAL, NON-APPEALABLE JUDGMENT TO BE DEFECTIVE AND TO HAVE DIRECTLY CAUSED BODILY INJURY, DEATH, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE, IN NO EVENT SHALL GEOTEST'S LIABILITY FOR PROPERTY DAMAGE EXCEED THE FEES PAID FOR THE SPECIFIC PRODUCT THAT CAUSED SUCH DAMAGE.
15. LIMITED INDEMNITY AGAINST INFRINGEMENT. Geotest shall, at its own expense, defend any litigation resulting from sales of Products to the extent that such litigation alleges that the Products or any part thereof infringes any United States patent, copyright, or trademark, provided that such claim does not arise from the use of the Products in combination with equipment or devices not made by Geotest or from modification of the Products, and further provided that Customer notifies Geotest immediately upon its obtaining notice of such impending claim and cooperates fully with Geotest in preparing a defense. If Customer provides to Geotest the authority, assistance, and information Geotest needs to defend or settle such claim, Geotest shall pay any final award of damages in such suit and any expense Customer incurs at Geotest’s written request, but Geotest shall not be liable for a settlement made without its prior written consent. If the Products are held to be infringing and the use thereof is enjoined, Geotest shall, at its option, either (i) procure for the Customer the right to use the Products, (ii) replace the Products with others which do not constitute infringement, or (iii) remove the infringing Products and refund the payment(s) made therefor by Customer. The foregoing states the Customer’s sole remedy for, and Geotest’s entire liability and responsibility for, infringement of any patent, trademark, or copyright relating to the Products provided hereunder. THIS LIMITED INDEMITY IS IN LIEU OF ANY OTHER STATUTORY OR IMPLED WARRANTY AGAINST INFRINGEMENT.
