13. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. The maximum liability of Licensor arising out of the license of the Software or the use thereof, whether based upon warranty, contract, tort or otherwise, shall not exceed the actual payments received by Licensor.
Because some states and jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, the above limitations may not apply to you.
