6 U.S.C. § 443 — Risk management

(a) In general (1) If you sell or provide an approved "qualified anti-terrorism technology" to a government customer -- federal or non-federal -- you're called the "Seller." You must buy liability insurance. The type and amount are set by the Secretary. This insurance has to cover claims from other people ("third-party claims") arising from an act of terrorism, when your technology was used to defend against, respond to, or recover from that attack. (2) You don't have to buy more insurance than you can reasonably get from private insurers on the world market -- at a price that won't unfairly raise what you charge for your anti-terrorism technology. That's your maximum required amount, even if a single attack could cause bigger losses. (3) This insurance must also protect other people connected to the sale, not just you: (A) Your own contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, vendors, and customers. (B) Your customer's contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, and vendors. It covers them only for their potential liability from making, approving, selling, using, or operating the technology during a terrorism defense or response. (4) The insurance must cover third-party claims connected to selling or using the anti-terrorism technology. (b) Reciprocal waiver of claims You (the Seller) must sign an agreement with your contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, vendors, customers, and your customers' contractors and subcontractors. In it, each side agrees to cover its own losses -- including lost business -- and its own employees' losses, if those losses come from a terrorist act where the technology was used in defense or response. (c) Extent of liability No matter what other law says, if you (the Seller) get sued over an act of terrorism where your approved technology was used in defense or response, your total liability -- whether for compensatory damages, punitive damages, contribution, or indemnity -- can never be more than the amount of liability insurance you're required to carry under this section.
