A "Limitations of Liability" clause specifies the extent to which a party is responsible for damages or losses in a contract, often capping the maximum liability or excluding certain types of damages like incidental or consequential damages. This clause aims to protect parties from extensive financial exposure and provides clarity on the risks involved in the contractual agreement.

Limitations of Liability. (a) To the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, a party’s maximum, cumulative, and sole liability to the other party for any claim or cause of action arising out of this agreement, the services, acts or omissions of the recipient and its affiliates, or the acts or omissions of the provider, its affiliates, and their third-party providers in connection with this agreement shall not exceed the fees paid by the recipient to the provider under this agreement during the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the first such claim or cause of action. However, this limitation does not apply to any indemnification obligation described in Section 5.3(a)(iii). Additionally, if a party's liability under this agreement relates to data privacy or cybersecurity, and that party, using commercially reasonable efforts and acting in good faith, is able to recover an amount greater than the stated liability cap from its applicable third-party service providers, it shall pass a pro-rata portion of such excess recovery to the other party (based on the relative amount of such liability compared to the damages suffered by the liable party for which the recovery is obtained). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this agreement, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, neither party nor its affiliates, nor the third-party providers (solely with respect to the provider), shall be liable for punitive, incidental, consequential, special, or indirect damages, or damages calculated based on lost profits, loss in value, or multiple of earnings. Any claim or cause of action requesting such damages is specifically waived and barred, whether or not such damages were foreseeable or a party was notified in advance of the possibility of such damages. Furthermore, any damages payable by a party under this agreement shall be net of any amounts recovered by the other party under applicable insurance policies or from any other entity alleged to be responsible. (b) Without limiting any other responsibilities of the recipient, the recipient acknowledges that, notwithstanding any services provided by the provider under this agreement, it retains full responsibility for reviewing all work products and deliverables provided by the provider related to the recipient’s or any affiliate’s internal controls, books and records, regulatory compliance (in any jurisdiction), disclosures, or financial statements. The provider assumes no responsibility or liability in respect of these areas, including their effectiveness, accuracy, completeness, or the reasonableness of any estimates or projections included therein. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this agreement, the provider shall have no liability for any claim or cause of action relating to (i) the effectiveness, accuracy, or completeness of the internal controls or books and records of the recipient or its affiliates, or (ii) the accuracy or completeness of disclosures or financial statements provided by the recipient or its affiliates to any investor or other person, or the reasonableness of any estimates or projections included therein.
Limitations of Liability. Except as specified herein, each party shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other party, its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, members, employees and agents from and against any and all third party demands for losses, claims, actions, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney fees, directly related to or arising from injuries to persons, tangible, intangible or real property to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of a party. A party’s indemnity and hold harmless obligations as to any claim or suit within the scope of this clause shall be reduced to the extent of any concurrent fault, failure to mitigate damages or negligence by the other party. Other than as specified herein, the Consultant provides no warranty and is not liable for any consulting advice. Although Consultant, based upon experience, will attempt to assist the Company, Consultant is not liable for any such assistance unrelated to services rendered.. If such claim is made, the Indemnifying Party, at its expense shall defend against and pay any and all costs, expenses, including reasonable fees of attorneys and other retained professionals or consultants and damages of any kind arising out of such claim, whether or not that claim is successful, provided that the indemnified party: (a) gives the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice of such claim, and (b) cooperates with the Indemnifying Party, at the Indemnifying party’s expense, in the defense of such claim. The Indemnifying party shall not be responsible for any settlement made by the Indemnified party without the Indemnifying party’s prior written consent. The maximum liability of Consultant is the amount paid for the specific work done or not done which was billed in the preceding sixty days. No punitive damages shall be awarded against either party.
Limitations of liability are clauses in contracts that specify the extent to which a party will be held liable for damages or losses incurred by the other party. These clauses serve to cap, exclude, or limit the amount or types of damages one party can recover from another in the event of a breach of contract or other issues. This is an essential risk management tool used to protect parties against unforeseen liabilities.
When Should I Use Limitations of Liability?
Limitations of liability should be used in any contract where there is a potential risk of significant liability or damages. Common scenarios include:
Commercial Contracts: To mitigate the potential financial impact of breaches or failures to meet contractual obligations.
Software Licenses: To limit liability in cases of software failure or data loss.
Service Agreements: To protect service providers from excessive claims related to service disruptions or failures.
Partnership Agreements: To manage and allocate risks between partners effectively.
Employing limitations of liability can provide clarity and predictability for both parties and help maintain balance in the contractual relationship.
How Do I Write Limitations of Liability?
When drafting a limitations of liability clause, consider the following guidelines:
Clear Language: Use straightforward and unambiguous language to articulate the limitations.
Scope of Limitation: Clearly define what types of liabilities are covered, such as direct, indirect, consequential, or punitive damages.
Cap on Damages: Specify a maximum dollar amount for potential damages, if applicable.
Exclusions: Identify any specific liabilities or circumstances that are excluded from the limitation.
Mutual Agreement: Ensure that both parties understand and agree to the limitations as presented.
Example:
“Neither party shall be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, revenue, data, or use, incurred by the other party, whether in an action in contract or tort, even if the party has been advised of the possibility of such damages. The liability for damages under this agreement shall not exceed the total fees paid by the client to the service provider during the preceding twelve months.”
Be aware of any legal requirements or limitations imposed by jurisdictional laws when drafting these clauses.
Which Contracts Typically Contain Limitations of Liability?

Technology and Software Agreements: Licensing, SaaS, cloud services, and IT services contracts.
Employment Contracts: Particularly in agreements with executives or high-level employees.
Supply and Distribution Agreements: To manage and allocate risks between suppliers and distributors.
