Waterworks shall not be liable for any loss or damage caused by delay in furnishing goods or any other performance under the Sales Order. In no event shall Waterworks be liable for any special, indirect, incidental, or consequential losses or damages, even if Waterworks shall have been advised of the possibility of such loss or damage. In no event shall Waterworks or its affiliates be liable to the Client or any other party in an amount exceeding the net purchase price of the goods actually delivered to and paid for by the Client hereunder, for loss or damage of any kind or nature to persons or property arising out of or in connection with the goods provided under the Sales Order. The foregoing limitation of liability shall apply whether any claim is based upon principles of contract, warranty, or other tort, principles of indemnity or contribution, the failure of any limited or exclusive remedy to achieve its essential purpose, or otherwise. No liability shall result from delay in performance directly or indirectly caused by circumstances beyond the control of the party affected, including, but not limited to Acts of God, fire, explosion, flood, war, acts of or authorized by any government, accident, labor trouble or shortage, inability to obtain material, equipment, or transportation. If, for any reason, we are unable to supply the total demand for specified products, we may distribute available supply among any or all purchasers on such basis as we may deem fair and practical, without liability for any failure of performance which may result there from.
