does not recognize limits of liability in contracts for professional
services. Naturally, there are groups trying to change this. If I
remember my Shinnerer seminars, limiting to fee is also generally
unacceptable because the actual risk is far in excess of the fee (i.e.'
- it has been termed "unreasonable" by courts in the past).
I still use it in mine (limited to my fee except in the case of gross
negligence or intentional misconduct). Sometimes I'll put in a basic
value instead, and it becomes part of the negotiation if it's challenged.
