Limited Software Warranty; Conditions; Remedy Subject to the limitations stated below, Licensor warrants that for 30 days after the Software Installation Date (the “Warranty Period”) the Software shall substantially conform in all material respects to the specifications stated in the accompanying documentation, when installed, operated, and used as recommended in the documentation and in accordance with this EULA. This limited warranty will only apply if you are not in breach of this EULA and you have notified Licensor of the Software non-conformity in writing before Warranty Period expiration and will not apply to your (i) negligence, abuse, misapplication, or misuse of the Software; (ii) use of the Software other than as specified in the documentation or expressly authorized by Licensor in writing. Your remedy for Licensor’s breach of this limited warranty is for Licensor to repair the Software or replace the Software with functionally equivalent Software that conforms to the documentation.

- b. Limitations on Indemnification. Licensor shall have no liability for, and shall not indemnify you against, any infringement claim resulting from your: (i) modification of any Software; (ii) combination of any Software with hardware, software, or other intellectual property provided by anyone other than Licensor; (iii) use of a superseded or altered release of some or all of the Software or any modification thereof furnished under this EULA, including your failure to use corrections, fixes, or enhancements made available by Licensor; or (iv) use of any Software in any manner not expressly contemplated by this EULA.

- e. Except as otherwise provided, sections 13(a) through 13(d) state Licensor’s and its third-party suppliers’ entire liability and your exclusive remedy for claims of intellectual property rights infringement.
14. Exclusion of Incidental, Consequential, and Certain Other Damages. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Licensor and its suppliers are not liable for any special, incidental, punitive, indirect, or consequential damages, including for any of the following that arise out of or are any related to the use of the Software or any related services, regardless of the liability theory and even if Licensor or any supplier was advised of the possibility of these damages: (a) loss of profits; (b) loss of confidential or other information; (c) business interruption; (d) personal injury or death; (e) loss of privacy; (f) failure to meet any duty, including of good faith or reasonable care; (g) negligence; or (h) any other pecuniary loss.
15. Liability Limitation and Remedies. Notwithstanding any damages that you might incur for any reason (including all damages in contract, tort, or to any third-party), Licensor’s and its suppliers’ entire liability under this EULA and your exclusive remedy (except for any repair or replacement elected by Licensor) is limited to your actual, direct damages up to the amount that you paid for the Software. The foregoing limitations, exclusions, and disclaimers (including sections 12, 13, 14, and 15) apply to the maximum extent permitted by law, even if any remedy fails of its essential purpose.
16. U.S. Government License Rights. All Software provided to the U.S. Government pursuant to solicitations issued on or after December 1, 1995 is provided with the commercial license rights and restrictions described elsewhere herein. All Software provided to the U.S. Government pursuant to solicitations issued prior to December 1, 1995 is provided with “Restricted Rights” as provided for in FAR, 48 CFR 52.227 -14 (JUNE 1987) or DFAR, 48 CFR 252.227-7013 (OCT 1988), as applicable.
17. Publicity. You hereby grant Licensor the right to publish your name, tradename, and trademark in a press release announcing the parties’ business relationship or in a public list of Licensor’s customers, and Licensor may post the press release or list on its website or elsewhere.
18. Applicable Law. This EULA is governed by Michigan (U.S.A.) law, without regard to its choice of law principles, as applied to agreements entered into and performed entirely in the State of Michigan. Unless expressly waived by Licensor in writing for the particular instance, the state and federal courts located in Kent County, Michigan, U.S.A., have sole and exclusive jurisdiction and venue for actions related to the subject matter of this EULA. You consent to the jurisdiction of these courts, and you also agree that the U.N. Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods will not apply to this EULA or to any dispute or transaction arising out of this EULA.
19. Entire Agreement; Amendment; Severability. This EULA states Licensor’s entire liability and your exclusive remedy with respect to the Software and supersedes any communications or advertising. In no event will the pre-printed provisions of any purchase order or any associated documentation used by you constitute a binding agreement between the parties or serve to modify the provisions of this EULA, regardless of Licensor’s failure to object to that purchase order or associated documentation. You acknowledge that this EULA is a complete statement of the agreement between you and Licensor for the Software, and that there are no other prior or contemporaneous understandings, promises, representations, or descriptions concerning the Software. No amendment to or modification of this EULA is binding unless made in writing and signed by Licensor’s authorized officer. No failure to exercise or delay in exercising any right or any power in this EULA will operate as a waiver. If any provision of this EULA is held void, invalid, unenforceable, or illegal, the other provisions will continue in full force and effect, and the invalid, unenforceable, or illegal provision will be amended to achieve as closely as possible the effect of the original term. If there is any conflict or contradiction between this EULA and any accepted service proposal or service agreement between the parties, this EULA will control.
20. Injunctive Relief. You agree that a breach of this EULA adversely affecting Licensor’s proprietary rights in the Software will cause irreparable injury to Licensor for which monetary damages will not be an adequate remedy, so Licensor will be entitled to equitable relief in any court in addition to any remedies that Licensor may have under this EULA.
21. Confidential Information. You acknowledge and agree that the Software and all non-public information emanating from the Software and Licensor’s business in any form are valuable trade secrets of Licensor and its “Confidential Information.” You shall not, during or after the Term of this EULA, permit the duplication, use, or disclosure of any Confidential Information to any person (other than your employees, agents or representatives), unless Licensor specifically authorizes that duplication, use, or disclosure in writing before any disclosure. To the extent that eAgile authorizes the duplication of Confidential Information, all such copies will bear the same confidentiality notices, legends, and Intellectual Property Rights’ designations that appear in the original versions, and you shall keep detailed records of the location of all Confidential Information.
You shall use reasonable diligence, and in no event less than that degree of care that you use for your own confidential information, to prevent the unauthorized disclosure or reproduction of the Confidential Information.
22. Survival. Expiration or earlier termination of this EULA for any reason will not release either party from any liabilities or obligations stated in this EULA that (a) the parties have expressly agreed will survive; or (b) remain to be performed or by their nature would be intended to be applicable following expiration or earlier termination. Specifically regarding section 21 (Confidential Information), the confidentiality obligations will survive the expiration or earlier termination of this EULA for a period of five years from the date of expiration or termination, except Confidential Information that constitutes a trade secret under applicable law will survive for as long as the Confidential Information remains a trade secret under that law.
