    7.2 Chemaxon shall not be liable to Licensee, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty, infringement, or otherwise, arising under or in connection with this EULA for loss of profits, sales, business, or revenue; business interruption; loss of anticipated savings; wasted expenditure; loss of corruption of data or information; loss of business opportunity, goodwill or reputations, where any of the preceding losses are direct or indirect; or any special, indirect or consequential loss, damage, charges or expenses.
