Cisco Systems, Inc. ("Cisco") grants to You ("Customer") a limited, nonexclusive and nontransferable license to use this software tool (the "Tool") and any reports or other output generated thereby (collectively, "Output"), for the purpose of considering the purchase, lease or license of Cisco products and services.

IN NO EVENT WILL CISCO, ITS AGENTS OR EMPLOYEES BE LIABLE TO CUSTOMER OR ANYONE ELSE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES HOWEVER CAUSED AND REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF THE USE, MISUSE OR INABILITY TO USE THE TOOL EVEN IF CISCO HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.  NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING ELSE HEREIN, ANY LIABILITY OF CISCO OR ITS SUPPLIERS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR OTHERWISE SHALL BE LIMITED TO FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS ($5,000).   THIS LIMITATION OF LIAIBLITY IS CUMULATIVE AND NOT PER INCIDENT.

This License and Disclaimer shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without reference to principles of conflict of laws.
