English term (edited): LOSS of prospective profits

If possible I think you should check with your client. ; don't you think there is a word missing?
Isn't it rather "neither party shall be liable for any **loss of** prospective ///profits///, exemplary or special damages, ...".
This would be far more logical in view of the whole sentence...

This would mean that none of the party is liable for any loss/damage arising from the implementation of the agreement and in partic. from use of the goods provided.

This is a usual clause in contracts relating to the provision of goods/services.


see for instance

"Dans un arrêt du 28 juin 2006, la troisième chambre civile de la Cour de cassation a pris position sur la rupture fautive des pourparlers et sur l'indemnisation du préjudice de la perte de chance de réaliser les gains escomptés du contrat. "
