5.2. If You initiate litigation against any entity by asserting a patent infringement claim (excluding
declaratory judgment actions, counter-claims, and cross-claims) alleging that a Contributor Version
directly or indirectly infringes any patent, then the rights granted to You by any and all Contributors for
the Covered Software under Section 2.1 of this License shall terminate.
5.3. In the event of termination under Sections 5.1 or 5.2 above, all end user license agreements
(excluding distributors and resellers) which have been validly granted by You or Your distributors under
this License prior to termination shall survive termination.
6. Disclaimer of Warranty
Covered Software is provided under this License on an “as is” basis, without warranty of any kind, either
expressed, implied, or statutory, including, without limitation, warranties that the Covered Software is
free of defects, merchantable, fit for a particular purpose or non-infringing. The entire risk as to the
quality and performance of the Covered Software is with You. Should any Covered Software prove
defective in any respect, You (not any Contributor) assume the cost of any necessary servicing, repair,
or correction. This disclaimer of warranty constitutes an essential part of this License. No use of any
Covered Software is authorized under this License except under this disclaimer.
7. Limitation of Liability
Under no circumstances and under no legal theory, whether tort (including negligence), contract, or
otherwise, shall any Contributor, or anyone who distributes Covered Software as permitted above, be
liable to You for any direct, indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages of any character
including, without limitation, damages for lost profits, loss of goodwill, work stoppage, computer failure
or malfunction, or any and all other commercial damages or losses, even if such party shall have been
informed of the possibility of such damages. This limitation of liability shall not apply to liability for death
or personal injury resulting from such party’s negligence to the extent applicable law prohibits such
limitation. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential
damages, so this exclusion and limitation may not apply to You.
8. Litigation
Any litigation relating to this License may be brought only in the courts of a jurisdiction where the
defendant maintains its principal place of business and such litigation shall be governed by laws of that
jurisdiction, without reference to its conflict-of-law provisions. Nothing in this Section shall prevent a
party’s ability to bring cross-claims or counter-claims.
9. Miscellaneous
This License represents the complete agreement concerning the subject matter hereof. If any provision
of this License is held to be unenforceable, such provision shall be reformed only to the extent
necessary to make it enforceable. Any law or regulation which provides that the language of a contract
shall be construed against the drafter shall not be used to construe this License against a Contributor.
