|
For the avoidance of doubt, it is hereby explicitly clarified that subject to the Lessor’s undertaking to arrange for Caps-Pharma to repair malfunctions in the air-conditioning system, if any, the provisions of this Agreement do not impose upon the Lessor and/or upon Caps-Pharma any responsibility for interruptions which may occur in the functioning of the air-conditioning systems, whether due to malfunctions, due to maintenance actions or for any other reason, without exception, and the Lessee will not be entitled to demand and/or receive, from the Lessor and/or from Caps-Pharma, any compensation and/or damages and/or payment for any reason.
