Developer hereby represents and warrants to Licensee that Developer is the owner of the Software or otherwise has the right to grant to Licensee the rights set forth in this Agreement. In the event of any breach or threatened breach of the foregoing representation and warranty, Licensee's sole remedy shall be to require Developer or to either:  i) procure, at Developer's expense, the right to use the Software, ii) replace the Software or any part thereof that is in breach and replace it with Software of comparable functionality that does not cause any breach, or iii) refund to Licensee the full amount of the license fee upon the return of the Software and all copies thereof to Developer.

5.  Warranty of Functionality. A.  LICENSEE EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE USE OF THE SOFTWARE IS AT LICENSEE'S SOLE RISK.  THE SOFTWARE (AND TECHNICAL SUPPORT, IF ANY) IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED.  DEVELOPER DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE FUNCTIONS CONTAINED IN THE SOFTWARE WILL MEET LICENSEE'S REQUIREMENTS, OR THAT THE OPERATION OF THE SOFTWARE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT DEFECTS IN THE SOFTWARE WILL BE CORRECTED.  The Software is licensed subject to any defects or problems, whether known or unknown, clear or latent. The Developer disclaims all warranties, express or implied (except any express warranty of title herein), and makes no promise concerning the quality, workmanship or usability of the Software.  The Licensee accepts the Software in its current condition.

B.  In the event of any defect in the media upon which the Software is provided arising within thirty (30) days  of the date of delivery of the Software, upon return to Developer of the Software upon the original media, Developer shall provide Licensee a new copy of the Software.

6.  Software Maintenance. Occasionally, Developer may make available to Licensee any corrected or enhanced version of the Software as created by Developer.  Such enhancement may include modifications to the Software which increase the speed, efficiency or ease of use of the Software, but need not include any substantially new or updated version of the Software that may add additional capabilities or functionality to the Software.

7.  Payment. Payment of the license fee shall be made upon delivery of the Software.  Payment of any other amount owed by Licensee to Developer pursuant to this Agreement shall be paid immediately following invoice from Developer.  In the event any overdue amount owed by Licensee is not paid following thirty (30) days written notice from Developer, then in addition to any other amount due, Developer may impose and Licensee shall pay a late payment charge at the rate of one percent (1%) per month on any overdue amount.

8.  Taxes. In addition to all other amounts due hereunder, Licensee shall also pay to Developer, or reimburse Developer as appropriate, all amounts due for property tax on the Software and for sales, use, excise taxes or other taxes which are measured directly by payments made by Licensee to Developer.  In no event shall Licensee be obligated to pay any tax paid on the income of Developer or paid for Developer's privilege of doing business.

9.  Warranty Disclaimer. DEVELOPER'S WARRANTIES SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT ARE EXCLUSIVE AND ARE IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

10.  Limitation of Liability. Developer shall not be responsible for, and shall not pay, any amount of incidental, consequential or other indirect damages, whether based on lost revenue or otherwise, regardless of whether Developer was advised of the possibility of such losses in advance.  In no event shall Developer's liability hereunder exceed the amount of license fees paid by Licensee, regardless of whether Licensee's claim is based on contract, tort, strict liability, product liability or otherwise.

If Licensee is or is acting on behalf of an agency or instrumentality of the United States Government, the Software, as applicable, is "commercial computer software" and "commercial computer software documentation" and pursuant to FAR 12.212 or DFARS 227 7202 and their successors, as applicable, use, reproduction and disclosure of the Software is governed by the terms of this Agreement.

12.  Contracting Parties.

13.  No Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any interest in this Agreement may be assigned by Licensee without the prior express written approval of Developer.

14.  Export. The Software may contain strong encryption that is subject to the laws and regulations of the US Government.  Licensee agrees and certifies that neither the Software nor any other technical data received from Developer, nor the direct product thereof, will be exported, re-exported, or transferred except as authorized and as permitted by the laws and regulations of the United States Government.
