Except as otherwise expressly provided under this EULA, User shall have no right, and User specifically agrees not to: (i) transfer, assign or sublicense its license rights to any other person or entity, and User ac nowledges that any attempted transfer, assignment, sublicense or use shall be void; (ii) ma e error corrections to or otherwise modify or adapt the Software or create derivative wor s (excluding Activities) based upon the Software, or permit third parties to do the same; (iii) reverse engineer or decompile, decrypt, disassemble or otherwise reduce the Software to human-readable form, except to the extent otherwise expressly permitted under applicable law notwithstanding this restriction; (iv) use or permit the Software to be used to perform services for third parties, whether on a service bureau or time sharing basis or otherwise, without the express written authorization of Cisco; or (v) disclose, provide, or otherwise ma e available trade secrets contained within the Software in any form to any third party without the prior written consent of Cisco.

U.S. Government End User Purchasers. The Software qualifies as "commercial items," as that term is defined at Federal Acquisition Regulation ("FAR") (48 C.F.R.) 2.101, consisting of "commercial computer software" and "commercial computer software documentation" as such terms are used in FAR 12.212. Consistent with FAR 12.212 and DoD FAR Supp. 227.7202-1 through 227.7202-4, and notwithstanding any other FAR or other contractual clause to the contrary in any agreement into which this EULA may be incorporated, User may provide to Government end user or, if this agreement is direct, Government end user will acquire, the Software with only those rights set forth in this EULA. Use of the Software constitutes agreement by the Government that the Software and related documentation are "commercial computer software" and "commercial computer software documentation," and constitutes acceptance of the rights and restrictions herein. No Warranty THE SOFTWARE FURNISHED UNDER THIS EULA IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" BASIS, WITHOUT ANY WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY; INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES OF QUALITY, PERFORMANCE, NONINFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. NOR ARE THERE ANY WARRANTIES CREATED BY A COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE OR TRADE USAGE. CISCO DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SOFTWARE WILL MEET USER'S NEEDS OR WILL BE FREE FROM ERRORS, OR THAT THE OPERATION OF THE SOFTWARE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED. THE FOREGOING EXCLUSIONS AND DISCLAIMERS ARE AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THIS EULA AND FORMED THE BASIS FOR DETERMINING THE FEES CHARGED FOR THE SOFTWARE.

Disclaimer of Liabilities. REGARDLESS OF WHETHER ANY REMEDY SET FORTH HEREIN FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OR OTHERWISE, IN NO EVENT WILL CISCO OR ITS SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOST REVENUE, PROFIT, OR LOST OR DAMAGED DATA, NETWORK FAILURE, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOSS OF CAPITAL, OR FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES HOWEVER CAUSED AND REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY OR WHETHER ARISING OUT OF THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE SOFTWARE OR OTHERWISE AND EVEN IF CISCO OR ITS SUPPLIERS OR LICENSORS HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. In no event shall Cisco's or its suppliers' or licensors' liability to User, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of warranty, or otherwise, exceed the price paid by User for the Software that gave rise to the claim or if the Software is part of another Product, the price paid for such other Product. BECAUSE SOME STATES OR JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. User agrees that the limitations of liability and disclaimers set forth herein will apply regardless of whether User has accepted the Software or any other product or service delivered by Cisco. User ac nowledges and agrees that Cisco has granted the licenses and entered into this relationship in reliance upon the disclaimers of warranty and the limitations of liability set forth herein, that the same reflect an allocation of ris between the parties (including the ris that a contract remedy may fail of its essential purpose and cause consequential loss), and that the same form an essential basis of the bargain between the parties. General. The EULA shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without reference to or application of choice of law rules or principles. The United Nations Convention on the International Sale of Goods shall not apply. If any portion hereof is found to be void or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of the EULA shall remain in full force and effect. Except as expressly provided herein, this EULA constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the license of the Software and supersedes any conflicting or additional terms contained in any purchase order or elsewhere, all of which terms are excluded. This EULA has been written in the English language, and the parties agree that the English version will govern. User waives any rights User may have under the law of User's country or province to have this EULA written in any language other than English.
