with software or data not supplied by PAUL TROTMAN OF TROTMAN'S ACCOUNTING SERVICES where the used Licensed Programs alone in their original, unmodified form would not constitute an infringement. The foregoing states Licensee's entire liability for infringement or claims of infringement of patents, copyrights, or other intellectual property right.
