Scope of Limitation. The limitations, exclusions and disclaimers contained in the Agreement are independent of any agreed remedy specified in the Agreement and will apply to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, even if any agreed remedy is found to have failed of its essential purpose.

Licensee will not enter into any settlement agreement in any Claim related to or concerning a Ki-Wi Digital Entity without a prior written consent of the Ki-Wi Digital Entity unless such settlement provides the Ki-Wi Digital Entity with a complete release without imposing any additional costs or obligations and does not require admission of guilt or liability by the Ki-Wi Digital Entity.
