The Consultant's total liability to Client shall not exceed the total available insurance policy limits <br />per claim available to Consultant under its professional liability insurance policy. Client hereby agrees <br />that to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Consultant's total liability to Client for any and all injuries, <br />claims, losses, expenses or damages whatsoever arising out of or in any way related to or arising from <br />this Agreement from any cause or causes including, but not limited to, Consultant's negligence, errors, <br />omissions, strict liability, breach of contract or breach of warranty (Client's Claims) shall not exceed the <br />total policy limits available to Consultant under its professional liability insurance policy for settlement or <br />satisfaction of Client's Claims under the terms and conditions of the Consultant's professional liability <br />insurance policy applicable hereto. <br />Notwithstanding the language above, Client agrees that with regard to any claim arising from or relating to <br />Consultant's provision of geotechnical engineering services, construction materials testing, special <br />inspections, and/or environmental engineering services, including but not limited to environmental site <br />assessments, that Consultant's liability for any claims asserted by or through Client shall be limited to <br />$50,000. <br />Client and Consultant each further agree that neither will be responsible for any incidental, indirect, or <br />consequential damages (including loss of use or loss of profits) sustained by the other, its successors or <br />assigns.
