misapplication. Any replacement SOFTWARE PRODUCT will be warranted for the remainder of the original warranty
period or thirty (30) days, whichever is longer. Outside Canada and the United States, neither these remedies nor any
product support services offered by APOS are available without proof of purchase from an authorized international
source.

LOSSES, DAMAGES OF ANY KIND OR ANY OTHER CAUSE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LIABILITY FOR
ANY FUNDAMENTAL BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT OR FOR PATENT OR COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT AND
REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION, SHALL NOT EXCEED THE LICENCE FEE PAID HEREUNDER FOR
THE USE OF THE PROGRAM. IN NO EVENT WILL APOS BE LIABLE FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL
OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES WHICH LICENSEE MAY INCUR OR EXPERIENCE ON ACCOUNT OF
