Not intended for use at the speed of light

Today, a colleague got a markup of one of our agreements whereby the customer asked for a license to use the software "anywhere in the universe." Our boss told him he should push back that we would cover the Milky Way, but that negotiations were still under way with Andromeda. Since our software excludes aircraft, nuclear, and missile applications, among others, it would be rather difficult to reach other points in the universe, but I told him that we should accept it with exclusions, such as, "Software not tested in zero gravity or black hole conditions," or "Any use of this product at the speed of light voids all warranties herein."
