10.2
A large part of the Supplier’s Software is fully or partly based on software developed by a third party.

Only the supplier of the solution in question shall be liable for such solution, and the Supplier can under no circumstances be held liable for any loss attributable to software supplied by a third-party supplier. This applies regardless of whether or not the Supplier has re-sold the solution. To the extent that the Supplier has supplied Software to the Customer in the form of supplementary modules to third-party software, the functionality of such supplementary modules (Software) will depend directly on the functionality of third-party solutions to which the Software constitutes a supplement.

The Customer’s non-payment of fees, however, is deemed always to constitute a direct loss for which compensation may be claimed.
The Supplier shall under no circumstances be liable for defects, delays, non-performance of obligations or for other circumstances under agreements concluded between the Supplier and the Customer if they are caused in full or in part by (i) the Customer’s negligence or breach of the User Agreement and/or the Parties’ other agreements, (ii) the Customer’s other suppliers or another third party related to the Customer, (iii) the Customer’s use of the Software and Services in any other way than contemplated, (iv) computer viruses, hacking, trojan horses, spy ware, interference with technical protection measures originating from sources other than the Supplier, (v) fortuitous events for which the Customer bears the risk and (vi) losses covered by an insurance taken out by the Customer or in favour of the Customer.
