In no event will AMI be liable to You for any special, incidental, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages (including loss of use, data, business or profits) or for the cost of procuring substitute products arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the use or performance of the Product, whether such liability arises from any claim based upon contract, warranty, tort (including negligence), strict liability or otherwise, and whether or not AMI has been advised of the possibility of such loss or damage. The foregoing limitations will survive and apply even if limited remedy if any specified in this agreement is found to have failed of its essential purpose.

You expressly agree that AMI shall be entitled to injunctive, punitive and other equitable relief in the event of such breach or to prevent such breach. Resort to such equitable relief, however, shall not be construed to be a waiver of any other rights or remedies that the AMI may have for damages or otherwise.
