Liability limited to 1 euro
<p>Often I see a disclaimer to negate any damages caused by software. But I found <a href="https://www.pgadmin.org/licence.php" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.pgadmin.org/licence.php</a> which has the last line that says liability should be limited to 1 euro. Is there a reason why a liability cannot be fully negated?</p>

<blockquote>

  WITH THE FOLLOWING DISCLAIMER:</p>

  <p>IN COUNTRIES WHERE THE ABSENCE OF LIABILITY MAY NOT EXIST OR BE

<p>It says so:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>IN COUNTRIES WHERE THE ABSENCE OF LIABILITY MAY NOT EXIST OR BE RESTRICTED BY LAW</p>
</blockquote>

<p>In many countries it is unlawful to contractually eliminate liability. However, in most of those it would also be illegal to try to limit it to a notional amount.</p>
