Rapiscan’s pricing reflects this allocation of risk and the limitation of liability specified herein.
23. No Indirect or Consequential Damages. RAPISCAN SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OF ANY KIND ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH this AGREEMENT OR DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, BUSINESS, SAVINGS, DATA, USE OR COST OF SUBSTITUTE PROCUREMENT, INCURRED BY BUYER OR ANY THIRD PARTY, WHETHER IN AN ACTION IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF RAPISCAN HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES OR IF SUCH DAMAGES ARE FORESEEABLE.

As the Parts and/or Services may be deployed in defense against or to assist in the detection of an Act of Terrorism (as such term is defined under the Support Anti-terrorism by Fostering Effective Technologies Act of 2002) before it occurs, Rapiscan and Buyer each agree to waive all claims against the other (including those of or against their officers, directors, employees, subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, subcontractors or other representatives) for losses, including business operation losses, resulting from or related to such Act of Terrorism.
