Is "within the exception of " just means "except"?

Question

I know "with the exception of" means "except", what about "within the exception of"?
The original scentence is：
“Within the exception of damages to life, health and body; the liability of Pharmaplan is limited, in all cases, to 50% of the engineering fee cntracted.”
What place does it use? Can any one paraphrase it?
Thank you so much!

Answer 1

No, it does not mean exception. You've got to understand the intent of the statement.

Within the exception means that there are established exceptions, and "within" those established exceptions, they are also adding a limited liability clause of no greater than 50%. Which basically means that, inspite of the exceptions they still only have to pay half of the contracted fee.

I hope I explained that so you can see what they are doing.

Answer 2

I believe the expression is "with the exception of" and yes it means except. But it sounds ever so much more classy!
