There are no implied licenses under this Agreement.
12. Skydio Indemnification.

If a Product is held in any such suit to infringe such a right and its use is enjoined, or if in the opinion of Skydio the Product is likely to become the subject of such a claim, Skydio at its own election and expense may either (i) procure for Customer the right to continue using the Product, (ii) modify or replace the Product so that it becomes non-infringing or (iii) if neither of the foregoing alternatives is reasonably practicable, immediately terminate Skydio’s obligations and Customer’s rights under this Agreement with regard to such Product and, if Customer returns such Product to Skydio, refund to Customer the price originally paid by Customer to Skydio for such Product as depreciated or amortized by an equal annual amount over the lifetime of the Product, as established by Skydio at its sole discretion. The indemnification obligation will not apply to infringement actions or claims to the extent that such actions or claims are based on or result from: (i) modifications made to the Product by a party other than Skydio, (ii) the combination of the Product with items not supplied by Skydio, (iii) misuse of the Product, (iv) Skydio’s compliance with Customer’s designs or specifications or (v) Customer’s failure to use the most recent version of the Software provided by Skydio to Customer, and Customer shall indemnify and hold Skydio harmless from and against any claim (including claims of contributory infringement or inducing infringement) arising out of (i) – (v) above. THIS SECTION STATES CUSTOMER’S EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AND SKYDIO’S ENTIRE LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM OF INFRINGEMENT.
13. Customer Indemnification. Customer shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Skydio Parties (as defined below) from and against any claim or demand, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses, causes of action, suits, proceedings, judgments, and awards, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, brought by a third party and arising out or related to Customer’s (or its authorized users’): (i) breach of this Agreement, (ii) use of a Product (except suits with respect to which Skydio is obligated to defend Customer under the proceeding Section), (iii) violation of any applicable law or regulation or (iv) Customer’s violation of any third party right, including property, privacy, publicity, confidentiality or intellectual property right. The indemnity obligations of this Section shall survive any termination of the Agreement. Skydio may, at its own expense, assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by Customer, which shall not excuse Customer’s indemnity obligations under this section. Customer agrees not to settle any matter subject to the foregoing indemnification obligations without the written consent and approval of Skydio.
14. Privacy. Skydio’s Privacy Policy sets forth the conditions under which Customer provides personal information or data and Skydio’s privacy practices.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, SKYDIO ALSO LIMITS THE DURATION OF ANY APPLICABLE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS TO THE DURATION SPECIFIED IN THE LIMITED WARRANTY STATEMENT.

THIS DISCLAIMER AND EXCLUSION SHALL APPLY EVEN IF THE EXPRESS WARRANTY SET FORTH ABOVE FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSES.
18. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. IN NO EVENT SHALL SKYDIO OR ANY OF ITS LICENSORS OR INFORMATION PROVIDERS AND OTHER SUPPLIERS AND THEIR OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, CONSULTANTS, AFFILIATES, AND AGENTS (COLLECTIVELY, “SKYDIO PARTIES”) BE LIABLE TO CUSTOMER OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR ANY SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES OR FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, USE, OR DATA, ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR CUSTOMER’S USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE PRODUCTS, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, IN TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), OR ARISING UNDER ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, EVEN IF SUCH SKYDIO PARTY IS AWARE OF OR HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. SUBJECT TO THE FOREGOING, THE SKYDIO PARTIES’ AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO CUSTOMER OR TO ANY THIRD PARTY CLAIMING THROUGH CUSTOMER IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF $100 OR THE AMOUNTS PAID BY CUSTOMER UNDER THE ORDER FORM IN THE 12 MONTHS PRIOR TO THE ACTION GIVING RISE TO THE LIABILITY. The foregoing limitations apply, even if the remedy fails of its essential purpose. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.
