(f) You shall provide AWC or any designee of AWC with all information necessary to assure compliance with the terms of this Agreement.

b) If at any time an allegation of infringement of any rights of any third party is made, or in AWC's opinion is likely to be made, with respect to any Product, AWC may, at its option and at its own expense (i) obtain for you the right to continue using the Product, (ii) modify or replace the Product or any portion so as to avoid any such claim of infringement, or (iii) refund to you the License Fee in return for you ceasing to use the Product. AWC shall have no liability to you if any claim of infringement would have been avoided except for your refusal to use any modified or replacement Product supplied or offered to be supplied pursuant to this Section 4(b) or to otherwise cease using the Product. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement, and except as set forth in Section 4(b), AWC's liability to you for damages pursuant to this Section 4(b), if any, shall not exceed the amount of the License Fee paid by you for the Product subject to any such claim.
