    1. Non-Use and Non-Disclosure. Each party agrees not to use any Confidential Information of the other party for any purpose except to exercise its rights and perform its obligations under this Agreement.

  1. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES AND INDEMNIFICATION
    1. Disclaimer. EACH PARTY MAKES NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, AND SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS, ON ITS OWN BEHALF ON AND BEHALF OF ITS SUPPLIERS AND LICENSORS, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

Genbook shall defend, or at its option settle, any third party claim, suit, proceeding, or demand (“Action”) brought against Partner to the extent that the Action alleges that a Genbook Product infringes or misappropriates any third party copyright or trade secrets; provided that Partner (i) notifies Genbook promptly in writing of any such action, (ii) gives Genbook sole control of the defense and/or settlement of such action, and (iii) gives Genbook all reasonable information and assistance (at Genbook's expense). Genbook will pay those costs and damages finally awarded against Partner in any such Action, or those costs and damages agreed to in a monetary settlement of such Action, that are specifically attributable to such Action.
      1. If a Genbook Product infringes or misappropriates, or in the reasonable determination of Genbook, is likely to infringe or misappropriate, any third party’s intellectual property rights, Genbook may, at its choice and sole expense, either: (i) obtain from such third party the right to continue to use the Genbook Product; (ii) modify the Genbook Product to avoid and eliminate such infringement or misappropriation; or (iii) terminate this Agreement.
  1. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.

EXCEPT FOR LIABILITY ARISING UNDER SECTION 5, NEITHER PARTY’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO THE OTHER WITH RESPECT TO ANY AND ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT WILL EXCEED THE AMOUNTS OWED BY GENBOOK UNDER SECTION 3.1.
