You had better luck than I once had with something similar...
We had this system that we developed and was used by several companies... They all had to sign the License Agreement. It contained pretty much common stuff, and we never had any problem with other companies and local governments signing it. But then one day, a potential client asked us to remove the paragraph were we stated that given the nature of the work, we could not garantee the absolute absence of errores. Of couse in another section we clarified that we would provide support.
Their lawyer wanted us to change that and garantee that there would be absolutley no errors,and given that case, we would have to indemnify them besides giving support.
Funny thing is that the agreement specified that they could not resell unauthorized copies, or redistribute to others, etc, otherwise if we found out, we would sue and they would have to indeminfy us. Of course the same lawyer wanted to remove that.
Several drafts were exchanged until it was absolutely clear that they didn't understand the difference between software engineering and civil engineering. And between owning a thing and owning a license to use a thing.
Our legal team just told us to drop that sell...
