For example, you are concerned that your customers will use the third party software, input personal or other sensitive data, and then have that software crash or fail on its own, through no fault of your company. This could lead to your customer suffering real or perceived personal harm. As a result, the customer might sue your company for this harm. In anticipation of purchasing the software license, you seek to include language in the software licensing agreement that would protect your company from harm suffered by your customers should the third party software crash or fail on its own.
