Exhibit 10.1
MOBILE FUELING VENDOR AGREEMENT
This
Mobile Fueling Vendor Agreement (this “Agreement”), between Amazon Logistics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Amazon”),
and
1. | MOBILE FUELING SERVICES. |
(a) | The products and services being provided by Fueling Vendor to Amazon consist of: (i) Fueling Vendor’s on-site fueling services for fleet vehicles, including both overnight and daytime fueling services to certain vehicles identified by Amazon (“Vehicles”) stored at local Amazon delivery stations and other off-site locations designated by Amazon (“Delivery Stations”), and in the time period(s) identified by Amazon, and (ii) a designated account management team available to assist Amazon during normal business hours and that will respond to Amazon Delivery Service Partners’ (“DSP”) escalations, questions, and other support needed on a timely basis (such fueling services, together with associated account management and customer support services, “Services”). The account management team will review business with Amazon holistically on at least a monthly basis. | |
(b) | Fueling Vendor will deploy Services at the Delivery Stations listed in Exhibit A. Exhibit A may be updated (list expanded/reduced, change in priority, etc.) from time to time upon mutual agreement between the Parties each in its sole discretion (confirming emails by the Parties’ authorized representatives will be sufficient). | |
(c) | At no additional cost, Fueling Vendor will provide a training manual to all DSPs and conduct two (2) training sessions per Delivery Station with DSPs and Amazon’s operations staff to inform them of mobile fueling operational processes and reporting tools available to them with respect to the Services. As needed, Fueling Vendor will provide additional training sessions to newly onboarded DSPs at Delivery Stations with existing Services. | |
(d) | Subject to Section 1(b), as of the Effective Date of this Agreement, Amazon expects to engage Fueling Vendor to perform Services for Delivery Stations identified in Exhibit A. Amazon does not make any representation or promise as to the amount of business Fueling Vendor can expect at any time under this Agreement. If Amazon provides any estimates of its needs, the estimates are only for the Parties’ convenience and will not bind Amazon. Amazon will not be liable for any actions taken by Fueling Vendor based on any estimates. | |
(e) | When
Fueling Vendor is to provide Services at a Delivery Station, Amazon will provide Fueling
Vendor a list of vehicles for each Delivery Station, the make and model of the applicable
vehicles, the associated license plate numbers, the associated VIN numbers, the associate
fuel types, the associated DSP codes, | |
(f) | Amazon’s acceptance of Services will occur upon the completion of the Services. Amazon’s acceptance of Services will not relieve Fueling Vendor of any of its obligations under this Agreement. | |
(g) | Subject to: (i) price increases, and fees; (ii) local supply restrictions; and (iii) regulatory/safety limitations, in response to natural disasters, Fueling Vendor will use available resources to deploy services to Amazon vehicles or Amazon associates’ vehicles upon alignment of location and access to the affected geographic area. |
2. | REPORTING REQUIREMENTS. |
(a) | Fueling Vendor will update Fueling Vendor’s electronic portal (“Portal”) on a daily basis and make vehicle-level data on gallons dispensed, price per gallon, service fees, and reason codes for vehicles that were unable to be fueled available to Amazon and DSPs through the Portal. In addition, Fueling Vendor will provide each DSP with access to reporting outlining the DSP’s specific fleet refueling activities and reason codes for any missed fuelings. Fueling Vendor will provide the technical resources and support, at no additional cost, to enable and maintain a connection of Amazon’s fleet database into Fueling Vendor’s system. | |
(b) | Fueling Vendor will ensure that the Portal is remotely accessible by Amazon and DSPs and that Amazon and DSPs are able to access and use the Portal without any significant upgrades or changes to their respective systems. To the extent necessary for use of the Portal, Fueling Vendor hereby grants Amazon, Amazon’s Affiliates, and DSPs a non-exclusive, worldwide, irrevocable (but only during the term of this Agreement), fully paid-up, royalty-free license to access and use the Portal, including any application programming interfaces necessary for such access or use, solely for the purpose of accessing information provided by Fueling Vendor under this Agreement. Fueling Vendor will provide to Amazon and DSPs the necessary passwords and links or connections to allow Amazon and, upon Amazon’s request, DSPs to access the Portal. |
3. | SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENTS. |
(a) | The Parties will establish a process to review the deployment plan on at least a monthly basis to track progress and align on any required adjustments. | |
(b) | Exhibit B hereto sets forth the applicable Service Level Agreements (“SLAs”) that Fueling Vendor will meet in performing the Services. | |
(c) | Amazon will assess Fueling Vendor’s performance against the launch timelines set forth in Exhibit A on a monthly basis beginning at the Effective Date. If Fueling Vendor is past due against the agreed launch schedule and the delay is not caused by Amazon, Amazon will have the option to freeze future launch plans with Fueling Vendor unless Fueling Vendor cures such delay within forty-five (45) days of the start of the delay. If the delay has not been cured within forty-five (45) days, Amazon may reallocate any Delivery Stations (at its sole discretion) to other vendors without liability or consequence. | |
(d) | One hundred and twenty (120) days after Fueling Vendor has been provided with access to the application programming interfaces necessary to create a live feed for Amazon’s fleet lists, Fueling Vendor will maintain a successful fueling rate (“SFR”) of at least 97.8% of Vehicles for each Delivery Station (“Target Fueling Rate”), except (i) for the first thirty (30) days after launch of the respective Delivery Station, (ii) for cases where the inability to fuel a Vehicle is due to Amazon’s or DSP’s error (which must be documented by the applicable Fueling Vendor reason code) ; and (iii) cases where inability is due to a natural disaster or Excusable Delay (defined below), provided that the Target Fueling Rate will not take into consideration Amazon vehicles that opt to fuel offsite. Fueling Vendor shall record the SFR in the Portal on a daily basis. | |
(e) | Once Amazon provides Fueling Vendor with a live feed for its fleet lists, Amazon will also assess Fueling Vendor’s performance against the SLAs set forth in Exhibit B on a monthly basis. |
4. | ACCESS TO DELIVERY STATIONS. |
(a) | As part of Fueling Vendor’s engagement, Amazon has agreed, subject to any lease restrictions or other Site Rules (as defined below) governing access to or use of the Delivery Stations, to provide Fueling Vendor with limited access to the Delivery Stations identified by Amazon solely to permit Fueling Vendor to perform Fueling Vendor’s obligations set forth herein. In consideration for being granted such access to the Delivery Stations and for the fees described in this Agreement, Fueling Vendor agrees to abide by the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. Fueling Vendor acknowledges and agrees that any access to the Delivery Stations granted under this Agreement is limited to the provision of Services. | |
(b) | Fueling Vendor will be permitted to access the parking areas of certain Delivery Stations selected by Amazon on certain date(s) and during certain time(s) identified by Amazon. Fueling Vendor’s access shall be limited to the parking areas of the Delivery Stations selected by Amazon on the date(s) and at the time(s) identified by Amazon to Fueling Vendor. | |
(c) | Fueling Vendor’s access shall be solely for the purpose of fueling the Vehicles in accordance with this Agreement, provided that Fueling Vendor may access the Delivery Stations selected by Amazon (in each case, on the date(s) and at the time(s) identified by Amazon) before beginning and after concluding Fueling Vendor’s fueling Services for the purpose of complying with any applicable Site Rules (as defined below), including to announce Fueling Vendor’s arrival and to announce Fueling Vendor’s pending departure from the Delivery Station. Fueling Vendor shall not be deemed in breach of this Agreement or have any liability to Amazon for any failure to meet its obligations under this Agreement to the extent caused by Amazon’s failure to provide sufficient access to its Personnel for provision of the Services. | |
(d) | The Delivery Stations that Fueling Vendor is permitted to access, and the date(s) and time(s) of any such access, may be updated by Amazon from time to time in its sole discretion subject to prior written notice reasonably in advance of the time Services are to be rendered. | |
(e) | Fueling Vendor hereby expressly waives and releases any and all claims, now known or hereafter known, against Amazon, its Affiliates, and its and their officers, directors, employees, successors, and assigns (collectively, “Releasees”), on account of injury, death, or property damage arising out of or attributable to Fueling Vendor’s access to the Delivery Stations or provision of Services, unless and to the extent such claim arises out of the breach of this Agreement, gross negligence, willful misconduct, fraud or violation of Laws by Amazon or any Releasees. As used herein, “Affiliate” means, with respect to a particular person, any entity that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with such person. Fueling Vendor covenants not to make or bring any such claim against Amazon or any other Releasee, and forever releases and discharges Amazon and all other Releasees from liability under such claims. |
(f) | Fueling Vendor will abide by and cause its Personnel to abide by all rules, restrictions, regulations, policies, procedures and guidelines, including safety, health, environmental, and hazardous material management rules, rules prohibiting misconduct, use of physical aggression against persons or property, harassment, or theft and all applicable laws of Amazon or the owner, landlord and/or manager of the property (“Owner”) on which Services are to be performed that are written, communicated, or made available to the applicable Personnel (collectively, “Site Rules”). “Personnel” means an entity’s and its Affiliates’ employees, representatives, contractors, subcontractors, and agents. Fueling Vendor will be solely responsible for initiating, maintaining, and supervising all safety precautions and programs to insure the safe provision or performance of the Services, and will control, supervise, and direct its Personnel and the means, methods, techniques, sequences, and procedures used. |

(a) | Indemnification by Fueling Vendor. Fueling Vendor will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Amazon, its Affiliates, and its and their respective directors, officers, Personnel, successors, and assigns, and, if applicable, Owner (collectively, “Amazon Indemnified Parties”) against any claim, action, loss, damage, settlement, judgment, cost, expense, or any other liability (including reasonable attorney’s fees and costs of pursuing any insurance providers) (collectively, “Fueling Vendor Indemnified Claims”) arising out of or resulting from (i) any third party claim to the extent arising from Fueling Vendor’s breach of this Agreement, (ii) any bodily injury or property damage caused to any Personnel, Delivery Stations, Vehicles, or any other property by Fueling Vendor or its Personnel to the extent directly caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Fueling Vendor or its Personnel during the performance of the Services, (iii) the release of Hazardous Materials (or the pollution or contamination of, on, from, under, or affecting the Delivery Stations or any other property or any air space, surface water, or ground water resulting from such release of Hazardous Materials) to the extent proximately caused by Services performed by Fueling Vendor or its Personnel, or (iv) any damages arising from fraud or violation of applicable Law by Fueling Vendor in connection with this Agreement; provided that, in each case, to the extent such Fueling Vendor Indemnified Claim, solely or partially, arises from negligence, willful misconduct, or fraud by an Amazon Indemnified Party or a breach of this Agreement by Amazon, then Fueling Vendor will not be liable for (and, to the extent applicable, Amazon will reimburse Fueling Vendor for) the proportion of any judgement or award with respect to such Fueling Vendor Indemnified Claim attributable to such Amazon Indemnified Party’s negligence, willful misconduct, or fraud or a breach of this Agreement by Amazon. |
(b) | Indemnification by Amazon. Amazon will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Fueling Vendor, its Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, successors, and assigns (collectively, “Fueling Vendor’s Indemnified Parties” and together with Amazon Indemnified Parties, as applicable, “Indemnified Parties”) against any third-party claim, action, loss, damage, settlement, judgment, cost, expense, or any other liability (including reasonable attorney’s fees), and the cost of pursuing any insurance providers that arises out of or relates to (i) Amazon’s violation of applicable Environmental Laws at the Delivery Stations where Services are provided under this Agreement, including obtaining and maintaining all Environmental Permits required by Environmental Laws, (ii) the release of Hazardous Materials (or the pollution or contamination of, on, from, under, or affecting the Delivery Stations or any other property or any air space, surface water, or ground water resulting from such release of Hazardous Materials) to the extent proximately caused by Amazon, its Affiliates or its Personnel, or (iii) any bodily injury or property damage caused to any Personnel, Delivery Stations, Vehicles, or any other property by Amazon or its Personnel to the extent directly caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Amazon or its Personnel (“Amazon Indemnified Claims” and together with Fueling Vendor Indemnified Claims, collectively, “Claims”); provided that, in each case, to the extent such Amazon Indemnified Claim, solely or partially, arises from negligence, willful misconduct, or fraud by a Fueling Vendor Indemnified Party or a breach of this Agreement by Fueling Vendor, then Amazon will not be liable for (and, to the extent applicable, Fueling Vendor will reimburse Amazon for) the proportion of any judgement or award with respect to such Amazon Indemnified Claim attributable to such Fueling Vendor Indemnified Party’s negligence, willful misconduct, or fraud or a breach of this Agreement by Fueling Vendor. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 10(b) does not apply to the Fueling Vendor’s violation of Environmental Laws, including obtaining and maintaining all Environmental Permits required by Environmental Laws, at the Delivery Stations where Services are provided under this Agreement (except to the extent that Amazon has held itself out to Fueling Vendor as having procured such Environmental Permits or has otherwise caused such violation). | |
(c) | Process. The applicable Indemnified Party will give the indemnifying Party reasonably prompt notice of each Claim for which it wants indemnity, provided that failure to provide such notice will not release the indemnifying Party from any obligations under this Section 10 except to the extent that the indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure. The Indemnified Party will reasonably cooperate with the indemnifying Party in the defense of each Claim, at the indemnifying Party’s expense. The indemnifying Party will use counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party to defend each Claim. An Indemnified Party may participate in the defense at its own expense. When Fueling Vendor is the indemnifying Party, if at any time Amazon reasonably determines that any Claim might adversely affect any Amazon Indemnified Party, then, without limiting Fueling Vendor’s indemnification obligations, Amazon may take control of the defense of the Claim at its own expense, and in such event Amazon and its counsel will proceed diligently and in good faith with that defense; provided, however, that (a) Amazon shall not admit any responsibility or guilt on Fueling Vendor’s behalf without Fueling Vendor’s prior written consent; (b) Amazon shall not settle any portion of such Claim for which Amazon is seeking indemnification without Fueling Vendor’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed; and (c) in the event that Fueling Vendor does not consent to a proposed settlement, Fueling Vendor will be responsible for Amazon’s expenses (including attorneys’ fees) in defending the Claim beginning on the date the settlement is first proposed to Fueling Vendor. The indemnifying Party will not settle any Claim without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent, which may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The indemnifying Party will see that any settlement it makes of any Claim is made confidential, except where not permitted by Law. In the event that Amazon takes control of defense of the Claim pursuant to this Section 10(c), Amazon will use commercially reasonable efforts to see that any portion of a settlement entered into by Amazon that references Fueling Vendor is made confidential, except where not permitted by Law. The indemnifying Party’s duty to defend is independent of its duty to indemnify. | |
(d) | Waiver of Certain Immunities, Defenses, and Protections Relating to Employee Injuries. In connection with any action to enforce Fueling Vendor’s obligations under this Section 10 with respect to any Claim arising out of any bodily injury (including death) to an employee of Fueling Vendor, Fueling Vendor waives any immunity, defense, or protection under any workers’ compensation, industrial insurance or similar Laws (including the Washington Industrial Insurance Act, Title 51 of the Revised Code of Washington). This Section 10(d) will not be interpreted or construed as a waiver of Fueling Vendor’s right to assert any such immunity, defense, or protection directly against any of its own employees or such employee’s estate or other representatives |

(a) | Fueling Vendor will obtain and maintain the following: |
(i) | “Commercial General Liability” insurance, including products/completed operations, broad form property damage, sudden and accidental pollution, and broad form blanket contractual, advertising, and personal injury liability, with limits of not less than $5,000,000 per occurrence and $5,000,000 general aggregate; | |

If
Fueling Vendor violates any provision of this Agreement, Amazon will, in addition to any
damages to which it is entitled, be entitled to seek immediate injunctive relief against
Fueling Vendor prohibiting further actions inconsistent with Fueling Vendor’s obligations

rights or remedies it may have under this Agreement, to take one or more of the following

reasonable satisfaction that it can satisfactorily meet its obligations under this Agreement;

the delayed or unsatisfactory Services; (c) assign one or more of its representatives to
supervise and work with Fueling Vendor to correct and mitigate the effects of Fueling Vendor’s
breach |
19. | ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS. |
(a) | Notices. Notices under this Agreement are sufficient if given by nationally recognized overnight courier service, certified mail (return receipt requested), facsimile with electronic confirmation, or personal delivery to the other Party at the address above the Party’s signature line. If no address is listed for Fueling Vendor, notice to Fueling Vendor will be effective if given to the last known address. Notice is effective: (a) when delivered personally, (b) three (3) business days after sending by certified mail, (c) on the business day after sending by a nationally recognized courier service, or (d) on the business day after sending by facsimile with electronic confirmation to the sender. Notice may be provided by email solely for purposes of (i) notifying Fueling Vendor changes to Exhibit A pursuant to Section 1(b) or (ii) providing notice of extension of the term of this Agreement pursuant to Section 17(a). |
(b) | Cumulative Rights. The rights and remedies of the Parties under this Agreement are cumulative, and either Party may enforce any of its rights or remedies under this Agreement or other rights and remedies available to it at law or in equity. Despite the previous sentence, the Parties intend that Fueling Vendor’s exclusive remedy for payment breach by or on behalf of Amazon shall be its right to damages equal to its earned but unpaid fees. | |
(c) | ||
(d) | Assignment, Subcontracting. |
(i) | Neither Party will assign any part or all of this Agreement without the other Party’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or denied; provided, however, that (a) Amazon may assign this Agreement without Fueling Vendor’s consent to an Affiliate or in connection with a sale or transfer of all or substantially all of its assets or business or otherwise in connection with a merger or corporate reorganization and (b) upon notice to Amazon, Fueling Vendor may assign this Agreement without Amazon’s consent to an Affiliate in connection with a merger or corporate reorganization. Any attempt by a Party to assign this Agreement in violation of this Section is void in each instance. All the terms and conditions of this Agreement will be binding upon, will inure to the benefit of, and will be enforceable by the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. | |
(ii) | Fueling Vendor will not subcontract or delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement to any subcontractors, Affiliates, or delegates (“Subcontractors”) without Amazon’s prior written consent. Notwithstanding such consent, Fueling Vendor is responsible for the full performance of its obligations under this Agreement and for its Subcontractor(s)’ compliance with the terms of this Agreement. | |
(iii) | To the extent that an amount is properly invoiced to Amazon pursuant to Section 8(c), Amazon may direct Fueling Vendor to send invoices issued under this Agreement to a “bill to” entity and address that is different from the “ship to” entity and address. Those directions will not alter the responsibility of Amazon to pay all properly payable amounts on any such invoice in accordance with the terms of this Agreement if the “bill to” entity does not pay those amounts as set forth in this Agreement. Alternatively, Amazon may assign any rights under this Agreement to a lessor or other third party by providing written notice to Fueling Vendor. |
(e) | Waivers and Remedies. No waiver of any breach of any provision of this Agreement will constitute a waiver of any prior, concurrent, or subsequent breach of the same or any other provisions hereof, and no waiver will be effective unless made in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the waiving Party. The failure of either Party to enforce any provision of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of the Party’s rights to subsequently enforce the provision. | |
(f) | Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any person, entity, or circumstance will at any time or to any extent be determined to be invalid or unenforceable under any provision of applicable Laws, to the full extent the applicable Laws may be waived, it is hereby waived. To the extent such Laws cannot be waived, the invalid or unenforceable provision will be replaced by a valid provision which comes closest to the intentions of the Parties to this Agreement. In case such replacement provision cannot be agreed upon, the invalidity of the provision in question will not affect the validity of any other provision or this Agreement as a whole, unless the invalid provision is of such essential importance that it can be reasonably shown that the Parties would not have entered into this Agreement without the invalid provision. | |
(g) | Governing Law; Venue; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. This Agreement is governed by the substantive Laws of the state of New York, excluding its conflicts of law provisions. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods will not apply to this Agreement. Any dispute arising under, in connection with, or incident to this Agreement or about its interpretation will be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in New York County (i.e., Manhattan), New York. Fueling Vendor irrevocably submits to those courts’ venue and jurisdiction. Fueling Vendor waives all defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction and forum non-conveniens. A final judgment in any such suit or action may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law. With respect to any proceeding or action arising out of or in any way relating to this Agreement (whether in contract, tort, equity or otherwise), the Parties knowingly, intentionally, and irrevocably waive their right to trial by jury. |
(h) | Construction; Standard Forms. |
(i) | The section headings of this Agreement are for convenience only and have no interpretive value. Whenever the singular number is used in this Agreement and when required by the context, the same will include the plural and vice versa, and the masculine gender will include the feminine and neuter genders and vice versa. The words “include,” “includes” and “including” will be deemed to be followed by “without limitation.” Each Party signing this Agreement acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to review this Agreement with legal counsel of its choice, and there will be no presumption that ambiguities will be construed or interpreted against the drafter. The word “will” shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect as the word “shall.” The word “or” shall not be exclusive. The phrase “to the extent” shall mean the degree to which a subject or other matter extends, and such phrase shall not simply mean “if.” Where a word is defined herein, references to the singular shall include references to the plural and vice versa. All references to “$” and dollars shall be deemed to refer to United States currency unless otherwise specifically provided. All references to a day or days shall be deemed to refer to a calendar day or calendar days, as applicable, unless otherwise specifically provided. | |
(ii) | Either Party may use its standard business forms or other communications to administer transactions under this Agreement, but use of such forms is for the Parties’ convenience only and does not alter the provisions of this Agreement. Any terms or conditions that are preprinted in such forms or that are included in a Fueling Vendor acknowledgement are null, void, and of no effect. | |
(iii) | Amazon will not be bound by, and specifically objects to, any provision that is different from or in addition to the provisions of this Agreement (whether proffered by Fueling Vendor verbally or in any quotation, invoice, shipping document, acceptance, confirmation, correspondence, or otherwise), unless such provision is specifically agreed to in a writing signed by Amazon. |
(i) | Entire Agreement; Precedence; Amendment. |
(i) | This Agreement, together with the NDA and all Exhibits and other attachments, which are incorporated in and made a part of this Agreement, constitute the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matters hereof and supersede any previous or contemporaneous oral or written agreements, understandings, and discussions regarding such subject matters. | |
(ii) | In the event that any conflict exists between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and any other terms and conditions attached to or incorporated into this Agreement as an Exhibit or other attachment that cannot be resolved on the face of such documents, then the terms of the Exhibit or attachment, as the case may be, will control with respect to the subject matter of the applicable Exhibit; provided, however, if an Exhibit references or incorporates a proposal from Fueling Vendor, such proposal is referenced or incorporated solely for purposes of defining the scope, pricing, and schedule for such Services, and any terms set forth in the body of this Agreement or the applicable Exhibit shall supersede any contrary terms set forth in or referenced by such proposal. | |
(iii) | This Agreement may be amended or modified only by a written instrument signed by a duly authorized agent of each Party. |
(j) | Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Agreement, whether express or implied, is intended or shall confer any legal or equitable right, privilege, benefit, or remedy by reason of this Agreement on any persons other than Fueling Vendor and Amazon and their respective successors and permitted assigns. |
(k) | Counterparts. This Agreement (or any Exhibit or Order) may be executed by facsimile and in counterparts, each of which (including signature pages) will be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument. |
(l) | EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES. EXCEPT FOR (i) EACH PARTY’S DEFENSE OR INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS WITH RESPECT TO THIRD PARTY CLAIMS, (ii) EACH’S BREACH OF CONFIDENTIALITY OR DATA SECURITY OBLIGATIONS UNDER SECTION 16, OR (iii) OTHER DAMAGES THAT CANNOT BE EXCLUDED AS A MATTER OF LAW, NEITHER PARTY WILL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES FOR ANY LOST PROFITS OR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR SPECIAL DAMAGES, EVEN IF IT HAS NOTICE THAT THOSE KINDS OF DAMAGES MAY OCCUR . |
