an implied warranty or condition, BUT ONLY AS TO DEFECTS DISCOVERED DURING THE
PERIOD OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY (NINETY DAYS). AS TO ANY DEFECTS DISCOVERED
AFTER THE NINETY DAY PERIOD, THERE IS NO WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF ANY KIND.
Some states/jurisdictions do not allow limitations on how long an implied
warranty or condition lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you. Any
supplements or updates to the Product/s, including without limitation, any (if
any) services or fixes provided to you after the expiration of the ninety day
Limited Warranty period are not covered by any warranty or condition, express,
implied or statutory.
LIMITATION ON REMEDIES; NO
CONSEQUENTIAL OR OTHER DAMAGES. Your exclusive remedy for any breach of this
Limited Warranty is as set forth below. Except for any refund elected by DataGroup,
YOU ARE NOT ENTITLED TO ANY DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES, if the Product/s does not meet DataGroup’s Limited Warranty, and, to
the maximum extent allowed by applicable law, even if any remedy fails of its
essential purpose. The terms of Section 18 ("Exclusion of Incidental,
Consequential and Certain Other Damages") are also incorporated into this
Limited Warranty. Some states/jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or
limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or
exclusion may not apply to you. This Limited Warranty gives you specific legal
rights. You may have other rights which vary from state/jurisdiction to
state/jurisdiction.
YOUR EXCLUSIVE REMEDY. DataGroup’s
and its suppliers’ entire liability and your exclusive remedy for any breach of
this Limited Warranty or for any other breach of this agreement or for any
other liability relating to the Product/s shall be, at DataGroup’s option from
time to time exercised subject to applicable law, (a) return of the amount paid
(if any) for the Product/s, or (b) repair or replacement of the Product/s, that
does not meet this Limited Warranty and that is returned to DataGroup with a
copy of your receipt. You will receive the remedy elected by DataGroup without
charge, except that you are responsible for any expenses you may incur (e.g.
cost of shipping the Product/s to DataGroup) . This Limited Warranty is void if
failure of the Product/s has resulted from accident, abuse, misapplication,
abnormal use or a virus. Any replacement Product/s will be warranted for the
remainder of the original warranty period or thirty (30) days, whichever is
longer, and DataGroup will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide your
remedy within a commercially reasonable time of your compliance with DataGroup’s
warranty remedy procedures. Outside the United
States or Canada,
neither these remedies nor any product support services offered by DataGroup
are available without proof of purchase from an authorized international
source.
17. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES. The
Limited Warranty that appears above is the only express warranty made to you
and is provided in lieu of any other express warranties or similar obligations
(if any) created by any advertising, documentation, packaging, or other
communications. Except for the Limited Warranty and to the maximum extent
permitted by applicable law, DataGroup and its suppliers provide the Product/s
and support services (if any) AS IS AND WITH ALL FAULTS, and hereby disclaim

INTERRUPTION, FOR PERSONAL INJURY, FOR LOSS OF PRIVACY, FOR FAILURE TO MEET ANY
DUTY INCLUDING OF GOOD FAITH OR OF REASONABLE CARE, FOR NEGLIGENCE, AND FOR ANY

Statutory rights are not affected. The
