fitness for any particular purpose.
10. Interaction with Internet Services
10.1 Some of the functions provided by ERGO rely upon interaction via the Internet with servers and
services owned and run by third parties (the "Internet Functions"). The Internet functions require
that the computer upon which ERGO is being executed is connected to the Internet, and the
speed and functionality of the computer's Internet connection will affect the availability and
responsiveness of the Internet Functions.
10.2 ERGO has no control over your connection to the Internet, nor does it have any control over the
servers and services owned and run by third parties which the Internet Functions rely upon. You
acknowledge that ERGO makes no guarantees, representations, warranties or gives any other
commitment regarding the availability, quality, accuracy, completeness, currency or validity of any
information provided via the Internet Functions. In addition you acknowledge that use of the
Internet Functions may result in a variety of content being presented, which may include content
which you find objectionable (including, without limitation, unlawful, pornographic, discriminatory
or offensive materials). You therefore agree that use of the Internet Functions is undertaken
entirely at your own risk and that you hereby waive any claim that you have or might, in future
have, against us in relation to the availability, non-availability, functioning or results presented via
use of the Internet Functions. You further agree to indemnify and hold us harmless against any
claims that may be brought against us as a result of your use of the Internet Functions.
10.3 We, and our licensors, have the right to suspend, remove or replace any of the Internet Functions
at any time, and, to the extent that we may do so, you agree that we shall have no liability for
such suspension, removal or replacement.
10.4 Certain Internet Functions rely upon services provided over the Internet by identified third parties
(each a "Third Party Internet Service Provider") whose names and /or logos are shown in ERGO.
To the extent that the Internet Functions rely upon a Third Party Internet Service Provider, you
acknowledge that your use of ERGO and the Internet Functions to access services provided by
such Third Party Internet Service Provider is, in addition to being subject to the provisions of this
EULA, also subject to any terms and conditions of use which the relevant Third Party Internet
Service Provider may impose. You acknowledge and agree that it is your responsibility to check
and comply with the terms and conditions imposed by each Third Party Internet Service Provider.

misrepresentation; and any liability which may not be lawfully limited or excluded under English

EULA (whether arising under contract, statute, tort (including without limitation, negligence), or
otherwise) shall be limited to the greater of the licence fee paid by you for ERGO or $249
11.4 You acknowledge that the licence fee has been calculated on the basis that we will exclude and

EULA are therefore reasonable.

performance or non-performance of any of our obligations due to such events.

representative of each party.
