The Company represents and warrants to Client that the Software, when properly used by Client, will perform substantially as described in the Company's then-current documentation (User Guide) for such Software for a period of ninety (90) days from the date of shipment (the “Warranty Period”). The Company must receive written notice of any breach of warranty prior to the expiration of the Warranty Period.

6. Limitations.

Notwithstanding the warranty provisions set forth above, all of the Company's obligations with respect to such warranties shall be contingent on Client's use of the Software in accordance with this Agreement, including the EULA, and the Documentation, as amended, supplemented, or modified from time to time by the Company. The Company shall have no warranty obligations with respect to any failures of the Software that result from accident, abuse, misapplication, extreme power surge, or exposure to an extreme electromagnetic field.

7. Client's Sole Remedy and Disclaimer of Warranties.

The Company's entire liability to Client and Client's exclusive remedy against the Company shall be, at the Company's option, either (a) return of the set-up fee, or (b) repair or replace the Software. THE COMPANY DOES NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT ALL ERRORS IN THE SOFTWARE AND DOCUMENTATION WILL BE CORRECTED. THE WARRANTIES STATED ABOVE ARE THE SOLE AND THE EXCLUSIVE WARRANTIES OFFERED BY THE COMPANY. THERE ARE NO OTHER WARRANTIES RESPECTING THE SOFTWARE AND DOCUMENTATION OR SERVICES PROVIDED HEREUNDER, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY WARRANTY OF DESIGN, MERCHANTABILITY, RELIABILITY, LACK OF VIRUSES, LACK OF NEGLIGENCE, OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, EVEN IF THE COMPANY HAS BEEN INFORMED OF SUCH PURPOSE. NO AGENT OF THE COMPANY IS AUTHORIZED TO ALTER OR EXCEED THE WARRANTY OBLIGATIONS OF THE COMPANY AS SET FORTH HEREIN.

8. Limitation of Liability.

CLIENT ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE CONSIDERATION WHICH THE COMPANY IS CHARGING HEREUNDER DOES NOT INCLUDE ANY CONSIDERATION FOR ASSUMPTION OF THE RISK OF CLIENT'S CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, OR SPECIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF CONFIDENTIAL OR OTHER INFORMATION, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, PERSONAL INJURY, LOSS OF PRIVACY, WHETHER SUCH DAMAGES ARE CAUSED BY THE COMPANY'S FAILURE TO MEET ANY DUTY, INCLUDING ANY DUTY OF GOOD FAITH OR REASONABLE CARE, WHICH MAY ARISE IN CONNECTION WITH CLIENT'S USE OF THE SOFTWARE AND DOCUMENTATION, AND OR BY THE FAULT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), MISREPRESENTATION, STRICT LIABILITY, BREACH OF CONTRACT OR BREACH OF WARRANTY BY THE COMPANY AND EVEN IF THE COMPANY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. ACCORDINGLY, CLIENT AGREES THAT THE COMPANY SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE TO CLIENT FOR ANY LOSS-OF-PROFIT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE LICENSING OR USE OF THE SOFTWARE OR DOCUMENTATION. Any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum liability of the Company to any person, firm or corporation whatsoever arising out of or in the connection with any license, use or other employment of any Software delivered to Client hereunder, whether such liability arises from any claim based on breach or repudiation of contract, warranty, tort or otherwise, shall in no case exceed the actual price paid to the Company by Client for the Software whose license, use, or other employment gives rise to the liability. The essential purpose of this provision is to limit the potential liability of the Company arising out of this Agreement. The parties acknowledge that the limitations on warranties, remedies, and damages set forth in this Agreement are integral to the amount of consideration levied in connection with the license of the Software and Documentation and any services rendered hereunder and that, were the Company to assume any further liability other than as set forth herein, such consideration would of necessity be set substantially higher.

9. Termination by Client.

This Agreement may be terminated by Client upon thirty 30 days' prior written notice to the Company. Upon such termination, all amounts owed to the Company under this Agreement, or any other agreement to which the Company and Client are parties, for accepted work shall immediately become due and payable and all rights and licenses granted by the Company to Client under this Agreement, including the EULA, shall immediately terminate.
