Customer, however, grants Unicontrol a non-exclusive, non-revocable and indefinite license to use Customer’s data in an anonymized format.

If data are stored by one of Unicontrol’s sub-contractors, Unicontrol will be subject to the restrictions applicable to the sub-contractor’s access to and copying and deletion of data.
7. LIMITED LIABILITY
7.1. Unicontrol is not liable for any indirect losses, including any loss of profit, loss of goodwill, any failure to obtain or reach economic benefits and objectives, any loss of production, loss or distortion of data, any loss suffered because Unicontrol’s deliveries cannot be used as erroneously assumed by the Customer, any loss relating to unauthorised persons’ access to data and systems attributable solely to the Customer, or any loss suffered due to the lapse or breach of a third party agreement. Unicontrol’s liability in damages only extends to losses inflicted with gross negligence.
7.2. The amount of Unicontrol’s liability for any loss cannot exceed an amount equalling three months’ payment for the Deliverables on which the claim is based, provided that the Customer has used the Deliverables for at least three months.

Unicontrol exercises no control whatsoever of the Customer’s use of the Deliverables.
7.6. Unicontrol shall not be liable for any damages that the Customer’s naming, sorting and use of stored data might cause, neither virtually nor physically. It is the sole responsibility of the Customer to name, sort and use the data accordingly.
