If the Software is defective within 90 days of original purchase, Rocket’s sole obligation will be, at its discretion, to either replace the Software free of charge or return the purchase price, at which point all licenses terminate.

7. Limitation of Liability

   TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ROCKET COMMUNICATIONS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, REVENUE, OR GOODWILL, OR ANY INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR SPECIAL DAMAGES ARISING FROM THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE SOFTWARE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. This limitation does not apply to breaches of confidentiality obligations. In jurisdictions not allowing such limitations, Rocket’s liability will be limited to the greatest extent permitted by law.

8. Confidential Information

   Each party agrees to protect the other’s Confidential Information with at least reasonable care, and no less than it uses for its own similar information.
