10.Limitation of liability
Nothing in this Agreement excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation. Subject to that, Make Time Count shall not be liable for any loss of profits, loss of business, depletion of goodwill, loss or corruption of data, or any indirect or consequential losses. Make Time Count's total aggregate liability shall be limited to an amount equal to the price paid for the Services during the 12 months preceding the date on which the claim arose.
