A4C warrants to the individual or entity that first purchases a license for the software for use pursuant to the terms of this agreement that the software will perform substantially in accordance with the documentation contained within the software for the ninety (90) day period following receipt of the software when used on the recommended operating system and hardware configuration. Non-substantial variation of performance from the documentation does not establish a warranty right. All warranty claims must be made, along with proof of purchase, to the A4C Support Department within such ninety (90) day period by email to support@intelligentmaintenance.com. If the software does not perform substantially in accordance with the documentation, the entire liability of A4C and its affiliates and your exclusive remedy will be limited to either, at A4C ’s option, replacement of the software or refund of the license fee you paid for the software. The limited warranty set forth in this section gives you specific legal rights. You may have additional rights which vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.

7 Disclaimer

The foregoing limited warranty is the only warranty made by A4C and states the sole and exclusive remedies for A4C and its suppliers’ breach of warranty.

This disclaimer of warranty may not be valid in some states. The provisions of this Section 7 and Section 8 below will survive the termination of this agreement, howsoever caused, but this will not imply or create any continued right to use the software after termination of this agreement.

8 Limitation of liability

In no event will A4C or its suppliers be liable to you for any loss, damages, claims or costs whatsoever including any consequential, indirect or incidental damages, any lost profits or lost savings, any damages resulting from business interruption, personal injury or failure to meet any duty of care, or claims by a third party, even if an A4C representative has been advised of the possibility of such loss, damages, claims or costs. The foregoing limitations and exclusions apply to the extent permitted by applicable law in your jurisdiction. A4C ’s aggregate liability and that of its suppliers under or in connection with this agreement will be limited to the amount paid for the software, if any. This limitation will apply even in the event of a fundamental or material breach or a breach of the fundamental or material terms of this agreement. This limitation of liability may not be valid in some states. Nothing contained in this agreement limits A4C ’s liability to you in the event of death or personal injury resulting from A4C ’s negligence or for the tort of deceit. A4C is acting on behalf of its suppliers for the purpose of disclaiming, excluding and limiting obligations, warranties and liability, but in no other respects and for no other purpose.
