In no event shall and under no circumstances, shall CHANCE (or its officers, directors, shareholders, employees or agents) be liable for any losses, damages, expenses or injuries of any kind suffered or incurred by the original or new owner or to any other person (collectively, “losses”), whether such losses are direct, indirect, incidental, punitive, special, general and/or consequential, (including but not limited to damage to or loss of use of any Product, lost sales, or profits, or delay or failure to perform this Warranty obligation, or claims of third parties against owner, arising out of or in connection with the sale, installation, use of, inability to use, or the repair or replacement of, CHANCE’s Underpinning System or Products) and regardless of whether such losses are based on breach of Warranty, breach of contract, tort, strict liability, negligence. As stated herein, the term “person” shall include without limitation, any individual proprietorship, partnership, corporation or entity.
