negligence laws, whether they be in tort law, delict law, and/or similar bodies
of law closely related to tort and/or delict law, regardless if Licensee is

entity within the Supply Chain prior to a good or service reaching the Licensee,
breaches its Duty of Care to Supply Chain Impacted Parties, Licensee must remedy
the violation or harm caused by Licensee within 30 days of being notified of the
violation or harm. If Licensee fails to remedy the violation or harm within 30
days, all rights in the Software granted to Licensee by License will be null and
void as between Licensor and Licensee.

invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, any
