  4. 15.4 Injunctive Relief The Parties agree that any unauthorized disclosure of Confidential Information would cause immediate and irreparable injury to the Disclosing Party and that, in the event of such breach, the Receiving Party will be entitled, in addition to any other available remedies, to seek immediate injunctive and other equitable relief, without bond and without the necessity of showing actual monetary damages.
  5. 15.5 Usage Data Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement or otherwise, Causal Labs may during and after the Term, in accordance with applicable Privacy Laws, monitor use of the Product by its customers and their Authorized Users and collect, analyze, use, and disclose the data generated by such use in the pursuit of its legitimate commercial interests, including for analysis, benchmarking, analytics, improving the Causal Labs Properties, performing services related to the Causal Labs Properties, and marketing.

THE EXISTENCE OF MULTIPLE CLAIMS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT ENLARGE SUCH LIMIT.
  2. 16.2 EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES IN NO EVENT WILL CAUSAL LABS BE LIABLE FOR INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR ANY DAMAGES FOR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUE, OR LOST BUSINESS, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, EVEN IF CAUSAL LABS KNEW OR SHOULD HAVE KNOWN OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN NO EVENT WILL CAUSAL LABS BE LIABLE FOR THE COST OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES. THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS APPLY EVEN IF ANY REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.
