To the fullest extent permitted by law, in no event shall Wayve or its affiliates, partners, licensors, customers, employees or contractors be liable under any legal theory with respect to the Dataset or any Derivative IP (or any use thereof), or for any direct, indirect, consequential, exemplary, incidental, punitive, or special damages, lost profits, wasted expenditure, harm to reputation or loss of goodwill and/or loss of business or data (regardless of whether such liability arises in tort, contract or in any other way and whether or not caused by negligence or misrepresentation).

+
+No partnership or agency: Nothing in these Terms constitutes, or shall be deemed to constitute, a partnership between the parties nor make any party the agent of another party.
