  5. Tax Warning (Sec 43B(h)): The Buyer acknowledges that delayed payments may result in the expenditure being disallowed as a tax deduction, thereby increasing the Buyer’s corporate tax liability.

  3. Liability Cap: Metaclads’ total liability shall not exceed the original purchase price paid for the specific Goods giving rise to the claim.
