Seller shall have no obligation under this provision to the extent any claim is based on (i) modification of RanMarine product by a person other than Seller, (ii) the use of RanMarine product with product not supplied by Seller, (iii) the use or installation of RanMarine product in an environment for which RanMarine product was not designed, (iv) Buyer’s failure to use updated or modified versions of RanMarine product provided by Seller, or (v) the negligent acts or omissions or willful misconduct of Buyer, its employees, representatives, or affiliates.
