CIPS L5M3 Exam - Topic 2 Question 59 Discussion

Actual exam question for CIPS's L5M3 exam
Question #: 59
Topic #: 2
[All L5M3 Questions]

What is the purpose of a limitation on liability clause?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
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

I feel like option C might be relevant too, but I can't recall if insurance claims are directly tied to liability limitations.

I practiced a similar question where we discussed how these clauses can shift responsibility. I wonder if that relates to option D?

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about it being a way to estimate potential losses. Maybe that's option A?
