All of your rights and remedies with respect to your use of the Third Party Offerings, including all warranty and liability rights, remedies and limitations, are governed by the applicable Third Party Agreements and Rush does not license, operate, control or provide any delivery, installation, configuration, implementation, integration, consultation, maintenance, technical support or other professional services in connection with Third Party Offerings. A “Third Party Licensor” as used herein, means the legal entity that is the owner and licensor of the intellectual property rights in the specific product and/or service offered by that third party. You may place your order with Rush, but Rush is not a party to any Third Party Agreement and Rush does not license any of these Third Party Offerings directly to you.

You further acknowledge and agree that the applicable Third Party Licensors are responsible in all respects for their respective Third Party Offerings, including without limitation any Professional Services (as defined in Section 13) provided by the Third Party Licensor, and you agree to look solely to such Third Party Licensors for any damages arising from or incurred in connection therewith. Under no circumstances shall Rush be liable for any damages arising from or incurred in connection with any Third Party Offerings. Warranty terms and periods, if any, vary by Third Party Licensor and Third Party Offering. Your rights and remedies with respect to your use of the Third Party Offerings, including maintenance, update, warranty, liability and any other services and obligations related to the Third Party Offerings will be governed by the applicable policies and procedures of the Third Party Licensor as stated in the applicable Third Party Agreement(s). The Third Party Agreements outline all warranties and representations, if any, offered to you with respect to Third Party Offerings purchased on or through the Program. Rush makes no representations or warranties relating to, and shall have no liability in connection with, any Third Party Offerings, including without limitation any Professional Services provided by the Third Party Licensor. Third Party Agreements governing your use of Third Party Offerings may be found here: www.rushtruckcenters.com/third-party-offerings. Third Party Licensors may change and update their respective Third Party Agreements from time to time. Your continued use of the applicable Third Party Offering means that you accept and agree to such updates and changes.
20. Ownership and Intellectual Property Rights. You understand and agree that nothing in this Agreement or any Offering Document provides you with any right, title or interest in and to any intellectual property (including without limitation copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret and/or other intellectual property or proprietary rights) comprised in the Offerings, which will at all times remain the property of Rush or the applicable Third Party Licensor, as applicable. You acknowledge that these intellectual property rights are valid and enforceable and agree that you will not, and you will not permit any third party to, take any actions inconsistent with these rights. You may access and use the Offerings only as permitted by the applicable documentation, including any applicable terms and conditions contained in this Agreement and any Offering Documents and applicable Third Party Agreements. In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and any Offering Documents or any applicable Third Party Agreements regarding the scope of the intellectual property rights, warranties and representations conferred to you, the terms of the Offering Documents and any applicable Third Party Agreements applicable to the relevant Offering will prevail.

Because some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for incidental or consequential damages, the above exclusions and limitations may not apply to you.
THE RUSH PARTIES’ ENTIRE AND EXCLUSIVE AGGREGATE LIABILITY HEREUNDER, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION IN CONNECTION WITH ANY OFFERING DOCUMENTS, REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION, SHALL NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAID TO RUSH BY YOU DURING THE TWELVE (12) MONTH PERIOD IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO SUCH LIABILITY.
