It also applies even if • repair, replacement or a refund for the software does not fully compensate you for any losses; or • Microsoft knew or should have known about the possibility of the damages. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.
