CIPS L5M3 Exam - Topic 2 Question 59 Discussion

Posted by Penney on Nov 23, 2025 at 01:37 AM

What is the purpose of a limitation on liability clause?

Suggested Answer: B

A limitation of liability caps a company's exposure to risk. In SOME cases this may mean that the responsibility passes to the other party- but not always. For this reason option 2 is correct and 4 isn't. Option 1 is the definition of liquidated damages and 3 is just a made-up answer. See p.20 for more information on Liability
