The foregoing warranty is extended to the initial Licensee only, is not transferable and shall be in effect for fourteen (14) days immediately following Licensee’s receipt of the Software (the "Software Warranty Period"). Licensee’s sole and exclusive remedy and the entire liability of Apptitude and its suppliers and licensors for any breach of this limited warranty will be, at Apptitude’s option, repair or replacement of the Software, if such breach is reported prior to the expiration of the Warranty Period to Apptitude or the Apptitude authorized distributor that supplied the Software to Licensee (the "Software Warranty Remedy"). Apptitude may require that Licensee return or certify the destruction of all copies of the Software to Apptitude or to the authorized distributor in order to receive the designated remedy hereunder. Any replacement Software provided pursuant to this Section 6.1 will be covered by the warranty in this Section 6.1 for the remainder of the original Software Warranty Period or for 14 days from the date on which Licensee receives such repaired or replacement Software, whichever is longer.
6.2 Disclaimer of Warranties.
(a) EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN SECTION 6.1, THE SOFTWARE IS BEING PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND AND APPTITUDE HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ORAL OR WRITTEN, WITH RESPECT TO THE SOFTWARE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY AND ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES AS TO THE CONDITION, NONINFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, DESIGN, OPERATION OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE. NO ORAL OR WRITTEN INFORMATION OR ADVICE GIVEN BY APPTITUDE, ITS RESELLERS AND/OR ITS OR THEIR AGENTS OR EMPLOYEES, SHALL CREATE A WARRANTY OR IN ANY WAY INCREASE OR MODIFY THE SCOPE OF THE WARRANTIES EXPRESSLY SET FORTH HEREIN. If Licensee’s legal jurisdiction provides that a certain implied warranty may not be disclaimed, such implied warranty shall only apply to defects discovered during the period of the express Software Warranty Period provided herein. There is no implied warranty for defects discovered after the expiration of such Software Warranty Period. Some legal jurisdictions do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so these limitations may not apply to Licensee.
(b) EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN SECTION 6.1, APPTITUDE DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SOFTWARE WILL MEET ALL REQUIREMENTS OF LICENSEE, OR THAT THE OPERATION OF THE SOFTWARE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR FREE, OR THAT ALL SOFTWARE DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED. FURTHER, APPTITUDE IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DEFECT OR ERROR RESULTING FROM: (I) THE MODIFICATION, MISUSE OR DAMAGE OF THE SOFTWARE BY PARTIES OTHER THAN APPTITUDE OR PARTIES PERFORMING AS A CONTRACTOR TO, AND AT THE DIRECTION OF, APPTITUDE, (II) LICENSEE’S FAILURE TO IMPLEMENT ALL BUG FIXES OR OTHER DEFECT CORRECTIONS WHICH ARE MADE AVAILABLE BY APPTITUDE, (III) USE OF THE SOFTWARE IN A MANNER INCONSISTENT WITH THE DIRECTIONS PROVIDED IN THE DOCUMENTATION OR AS PERMITTED BY THIS AGREEMENT, (IV) ANY COMPUTER VIRUS OR (V) ANY DEFECT IN OR FAILURE OF ANY THIRD PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL COMPUTER, EQUIPMENT, NETWORK OR SOFTWARE, OR FOR ANY USER ERROR.

7. LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY.
7.1 Consequential Damages. IN NO EVENT SHALL APPTITUDE BE LIABLE TO LICENSEE FOR ANY LOSS OF OR DAMAGE TO DATA OR OTHER PERSONAL OR BUSINESS INFORMATION, LOST PROFITS OR USE OF THE SOFTWARE, OR FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING THE INSTALLATION, USE OR PERFORMANCE, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE SOFTWARE, EVEN IF APPTITUDE HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
7.2 Limitation. APPTITUDE PROVIDES THE SOFTWARE AT NO CHARGE TO LICENSEE. IN CONSIDERATION FOR, AND AS A FUNDAMENTAL AND EXPRESS CONDITION OF ENABLING USE OF THE SOFTWARE WITHOUT CHARGE, AND NOTWITHSTANDING ANY PROVISION IN THIS AGREEMENT TO THE CONTRARY, APPTITUDE SHALL NOT HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, EXCEPT THE SOFTWARE WARRANTY REMEDY. THE LIMITATIONS HEREIN SHALL APPLY EVEN IF THE SOFTWARE WARRANTY REMEDY DOES NOT FULLY COMPENSATE LICENSEE FOR ANY OR ALL LOSSES, OR IF APPTITUDE KNEW OR SHOULD HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. SOME LEGAL JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO LICENSEE IF LICENSEE RESIDES IN CERTAIN JURISDICTIONS.

Apptitude has no responsibility for compliance with such laws and regulations by Licensee. Licensee hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Apptitude from and against all claims, losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, to the extent such claims arise out of any breach of this Section 8.
