In no event shall Aveox’s liability for all damages and costs (including the costs of the defense by Aveox) exceed the contractual value of the Products or services that are the subject of the lawsuit. In providing such defense, or in the event that such Product is held to constitute infringement and the use of the Product is enjoined, Aveox, in its discretion, shall procure the right to continue using such Product, or modify it so that it becomes non-infringing, provided that any such replacement or modified Product comply with the applicable Specifications as to form, fit and function, or remove it and grant the Buyer a credit for the depreciated value thereof. The foregoing remedy is exclusive and constitutes Aveox’s sole obligation for any claim of intellectual property infringement and Aveox makes no warranty that Products sold hereunder will not infringe any intellectual property rights.
