Approximation of disclaimer and damage waiver
If the disclaimer and damage waiver mentioned in Subsection “Disclaimer” and Section “Consequential damage waiver” cannot be given legal effect under applicable local law, reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates an absolute waiver of all civil or contractual liability in connection with the Contribution.

This Agreement sets out the entire agreement between You and Us for Your Contributions to Us and overrides all other agreements or understandings.
In case of Your death, this agreement shall continue with Your heirs. In case of more than one heir, all heirs must exercise their rights through a commonly authorized person.
