The Charterer agrees that he/she will not be entitled to recover, and hereby disclaims and waives any right that it may otherwise have to recover, lost revenues or profits or consequential damages as a result of any breach or alleged breach by FranceRent of any of its obligations under this Carriage Contract or for any other reason.
