7.2 PTC's Right to Act to Prevent a Claim. If a claim described in Section 7.1 occurs or, in PTC's opinion, may occur, Customer shall permit PTC, at PTC's option and expense: to procure for Customer the right to continue using the Licensed Product; to modify the Licensed Product so that it becomes non-infringing without materially impairing its functionality; or to terminate the applicable Licenses, accept return of the Licensed Products and grant Customer a credit thereon as depreciated on a straight-line five year basis.

Except as set forth in Section 7.1, above, PTC's maximum liability arising out of, or relating to, the creation, license, supply, functioning, use or non or late supply of the Licensed Products or the provision of Maintenance Services or otherwise relating to these Terms and Conditions, whether based upon warranty, contract, tort, or otherwise, shall not exceed the total fees paid by customer in respect of the matter that gave rise to the claim, namely either the licensed products or maintenance services.

Customer is responsible for the distribution of New Releases to any of Customer's additional locations where Licensed Products are authorized to be used.
