or to rescind this Agreement. This shall be NAVTEQ’s entire liability and
your sole remedy against NAVTEQ. Except as expressly provided in this

not affect such statutory rights and you may assert such rights in addition

FORTH IN THIS AGREE-MENT, DO NOT AFFECT OR PREJUDICE
YOUR STATUTORY RIGHTS WHERE YOU HAVE ACQUIRED THE
