THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY IN THIS SECTION AND THE ALLOCATION OF RISK HEREIN ARE AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN THE PARTIES, WITHOUT WHICH SERVICETITAN WOULD NOT HAVE ENTERED INTO THE AGREEMENT OR ORDER. PRICING SET FORTH HEREIN REFLECTS THIS ALLOCATION OF RISK AND THE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY SPECIFIED HEREIN.

4.3 Infringement:

5.0 ASSIGNMENT / SUBCONTRACTING

5.1 Assignment: Neither party may assign, transfer or delegate any or all of its rights or obligations under these Terms, without the prior written consent of the other party; provided however, that, upon prior written notice to the other party, ServiceTitan may assign the Terms to an affiliate or a successor of all or substantially all of the assets of ServiceTitan through merger, reorganization, consolidation or acquisition.
