In no event shall CUTS' liability arising from or in connection with this Agreement exceed a sum equivalent to the annual Fee paid by the Licensee to CCLRC for use of the Software.

6.2 The limitations and exclusions in this Agreement shall not apply in respect of claims for personal injury or death caused by the negligence of CUTS, its licensors or its employees or in respect of fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.

10. NO SUBLICENSING AND NO ASSIGNMENT

10.1 The Licensee shall have no right to sub-license or to assign, transfer, charge or deal in any other manner the benefit or burden of the Licence in this Agreement in whole or in part or to allow the Software to become the subject of any charge, lien or encumbrance without the prior written consent of CUTS such consent may be withheld without giving any reasons.

11. WAIVER

11.1 No forbearance or delay by either party in enforcing its rights will prejudice or restrict the rights of that party, and no waiver of any such rights or of any breach of any contractual terms will be deemed to be a waiver of any other right or of any later breach.
