“(m) Neither the Custodian nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable, directly or indirectly, for (i) any damages or expenses arising out of the services performed under this Custodial Agreement other than damages or expenses that result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of it or them or (ii) any punitive, loss-of-profit consequential or indirect damages.

(n) The Custodian shall not incur any liability or be responsible for delays or failures in performance of its obligations under this Custodial Agreement resulting from acts beyond its control.

The Custodian will ask for such party’s legal name, physical address, tax identification or other government registration number and other information that will help to identify such party.
