2. Termination. This Agreement is effective starting on your first download, installation, or use of any Software and remains in effect until terminated. You may terminate this Agreement at any time by deleting all copies of the Software and associated documentation in your possession or under your control.

  The limitations set forth in this Section shall extend and apply to the acts, omissions, and negligence of Midco (and their respective officers, employees, agents, contractors or representatives) which, but for this provision, would give rise to a cause of action in contract, tort or any other legal doctrine.
  Customer's sole and exclusive remedies under this Agreement are as expressly set out in this Agreement. Some states do not allow the limitations or exclusion of incidental or consequential damages, so such limitations or exclusions may not apply to you.

4. Survival. The provisions of this Agreement which by their nature should survive the termination of this Agreement shall survive such termination.
