Upon termination, Licensee will cease use of, and destroy or delete, the Software and confirm compliance in writing to XFunction.

(f) The Software is proprietary, confidential and copyrighted.
(g) No right, title or interest in or to any trademark, service mark, logo or trade name of XFunction or its licensors is granted under this Agreement.
Licensee agrees that for any unauthorized use of the Software, or engaging in any conduct or transaction that is restricted hereunder, it would be impossible or inadequate to measure and calculate XFunction's damages. Accordingly, Licensee agrees that if engages in any conduct or transaction that is Restricted hereunder or uses the Software in a manner not authorized hereunder, thereby breaching this Agreement, there will be available to XFunction, in addition to any other right or remedy available, the right to obtain an injunction from a court of competent jurisdiction restraining such breach or threatened breach.

Licensee's exclusive remedy and XFunction's entire liability under this limited warranty will be, at XFunction's option, to replace the Software or refund the purchase price and fee paid for the Software.

Licensee may have others, which vary from state to state.
6. Disclaimer of Warranty. UNLESS SPECIFIED IN THIS AGREEMENT, ALL EXPRESS OR IMPLIED CONDITIONS, REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGEMENT ARE DISCLAIMED, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT THESE DISCLAIMERS ARE HELD TO BE LEGALLY INVALID.

TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL XFunction BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOST REVENUE, PROFIT OR DATA, OR FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, HOWEVER CAUSED REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATE D TO THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE SOFTWARE, EVEN IF XFunction HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. In no event will XFunctionm's liability to Licensee, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), or otherwise, exceed the amount paid by Licensee for the Software under this Agreement. The foregoing limitations will apply even if the above stated warranty fails of its essential purpose. Some states do not allow the exclusion of incidental or consequential damages, so some of the terms above may not be applicable to Licensee.
