The Software is not licensed to be copied (except as provided herein), and is not licensed to be shared among agents, employees, or representatives of Licensee, nor is it licensed to be installed or redistributed.

StorageCraft warrants that, for the lesser of (a) the Subscription Period or (b) sixty (60) days after the date Licensee first purchased the Software from StorageCraft or its reseller, distributor or authorized representative (collectively, the “Warranty Period”), that (a) the Software will perform substantially in accordance with its accompanying User Guide; and (b) the media on which the Software is provided will be free from defects in materials and workmanship under normal use. This warranty gives Licensee specific rights and Licensee may also have other rights that vary by jurisdiction. With the exception of the return and exchange rights set forth in the StorageCraft Technology Corporation Return and Exchange Policy, in the event of any breach of this limited warranty, Licensee’s sole and exclusive remedy against StorageCraft and its agents, employees, representatives, officers, directors, contractors, dealers, and distributors is, at the sole option of StorageCraft, either (a) return of the Subscription Fee paid by Licensee on a pro rata basis for the unused term of the Subscription Period; or (b) replacement of the defective media on which the Software is contained, provided that Licensee notifies StorageCraft of the nonconformance within the Warranty Period. Licensee must return the defective media to StorageCraft or its dealer, distributor or authorized representative at Licensee’s expense, together with a copy of Licensee’s proof of payment of the Subscription Fee within the Warranty Period. This limited warranty is void if the defect is the result of alteration, abuse, damage or misapplication. Any replacement media will be warranted for the remainder of the original Warranty Period, or thirty (30) days, whichever is longer.


Section 10 Disclaimer of Warranties. STORAGECRAFT DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SOFTWARE WILL MEET LICENSEE’S REQUIREMENTS OR THAT ITS OPERATION WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY STATED IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED AND LICENSED “AS IS” AND WITH ALL FAULTS. THERE ARE NO WARRANTIES, REPRESENTATIONS, OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WRITTEN OR ORAL, ARISING BY STATUTE, OPERATION OF LAW, OR OTHERWISE, REGARDING THE SOFTWARE OR ANY OTHER PRODUCT OR SERVICE PROVIDED HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION HEREWITH. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, STORAGECRAFT AND ITS AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVES DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY (IF ANY) WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF OR RELATED TO: MERCHANTABILITY, DURABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, LACK OF VIRUSES, NONINFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF RESPONSES, RESULTS, WORKMANLIKE EFFORT, AND LACK OF NEGLIGENCE. ALSO, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THERE IS NO WARRANTY, DUTY, OR CONDITION OF TITLE, QUIET ENJOYMENT, QUIET POSSESSION, OR CORRESPONDENCE TO DESCRIPTION. THIS IS AN ARM’S LENGTH TRANSACTION AND LICENSEE HAS ENGAGED IN APPROPRIATE DUE DILIGENCE CONCERNING BOTH STORAGECRAFT AND THE SOFTWARE. CONSEQUENTLY, THE ENTIRE RISK ARISING OUT OF USE OR PERFORMANCE OF THE SOFTWARE REMAINS WITH LICENSEE. IF ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY MAY NOT BE DISCLAIMED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, THEN SUCH IMPLIED WARRANTY IS LIMITED TO THIRTY (30) DAYS FROM THE DATE LICENSEE ACQUIRED THE SOFTWARE FROM STORAGECRAFT OR ITS DEALER, DISTRIBUTOR OR AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE AND IS SUBJECT TO THE EXCLUSIVE REMEDY PROVISION SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT PERMIT LIMITATIONS ON IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THE FOREGOING THIRTY (30) DAY TIME LIMITATION ON IMPLIED WARRANTIES MAY NOT APPLY TO LICENSEE. THE LIMITED WARRANTY HEREIN GIVES LICENSEE SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS AND LICENSEE MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER LEGAL RIGHTS WHICH VARY BY JURISDICTION. WARRANTY INQUIRIES MAY BE SENT TO STORAGECRAFT AT: LEGAL@STORAGECRAFT.COM OR TO LEGAL DEPARTMENT, 11850 SOUTH ELECTION ROAD, SUITE 120, DRAPER, UTAH 84020, U.S.A. NO AGREEMENTS VARYING OR EXTENDING THE FOREGOING WARRANTIES OR LIMITATIONS WILL BE BINDING ON EITHER PARTY UNLESS IN WRITING AND SIGNED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF BOTH PARTIES.


Section 11 Limitation of Liability. THE LIABILITY OF STORAGECRAFT, IF ANY, AND THAT OF ITS AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVES TO LICENSEE FOR ANY LOSSES SHALL BE LIMITED TO DIRECT DAMAGES AND SHALL NOT EXCEED THE SUBSCRIPTION FEE. IN NO EVENT SHALL STORAGECRAFT OR ITS DEALERS, DISTRIBUTORS OR AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVES BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES; LOSS OF PROFITS, USE, OR DATA; OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION), EVEN IF STORAGECRAFT OR ITS AGENTS OR REPRESENTATIVES HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THE LIMITATIONS IMPOSED BY THIS SECTION, THE REMEDIES AVAILABLE, AND THE CONSIDERATION EXCHANGED REFLECT THE ALLOCATION OF RISK BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND ARE AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN THEM. THESE LIMITATIONS APPLY EVEN IN THE EVENT OF FAULT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, MISREPRESENTATION, OR STRICT OR PRODUCT LIABILITY. In no event shall any person who has contributed to any part of the Software be liable for any damages whatsoever, however caused, and on any theory of liability, whether in contract, strict liability, or tort (including negligence or otherwise) arising in any way out of the use of the Software, even if advised of the possibility of such damage. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to Licensee. Licensee releases StorageCraft from all liability in excess of the liabilities that are limited by this Section, including without limitation any claim for indemnification or contribution whether arising under statutory or common law or otherwise. End users in certain countries may be subject to certain consumer protection laws unique to their locale and that limit the ability to modify or exclude liability. If Licensee acquired the Software for the purposes of a business, Licensee confirms that any applicable consumer protection laws do not apply. If Licensee acquired the Software in Australia and if StorageCraft breaches a condition or warranty implied by applicable law and which cannot lawfully be modified or excluded by this Agreement then, to the extent permitted by law, StorageCraft’s liability to Licensee is limited, at StorageCraft’s option, to: (a) replacement or repair of the Software and/or re-supply of customer support; or (b) the cost of replacing or repairing the Software and/or the cost of re-supplying customer support. LICENSEE AGREES TO COMPLY WITH ANY AND ALL THIRD-PARTY LICENSING REQUIREMENTS THAT LICENSEE’S USE OF THE SOFTWARE MAY IMPACT. LICENSEE FURTHER AGREES TO INDEMNIFY AND HOLD STORAGECRAFT HARMLESS FROM ANY AND ALL CLAIMS AGAINST STORAGECRAFT BY THIRD PARTIES RELATING TO LICENSEE’S USE OF THE SOFTWARE WITHOUT POSESSION OF ANY REQUIRED THIRD-PARTY LICENSES.

By downloading or using the Software, Licensee agrees to the foregoing and represents and warrants that Licensee is not located in, under the control of, or a national or resident of any such country or on any such list, and that Licensee acknowledges Licensee is responsible to obtain any necessary U.S. government authorization to ensure compliance with U.S. law.

17.9. Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Utah, U.S.A., without application of any choice-of-law or conflict-of-law principles, rules, or provision that would result in the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than Utah. Any action for provisional relief concerning this Agreement or the Parties’ relationship hereunder, including but not limited to a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, attachment in aid of arbitration, or order for any interim or conservatory measure, shall be brought in Salt Lake County, State of Utah, U.S.A. The Parties consent and submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state or federal courts in Salt Lake County, State of Utah, U.S.A., for purposes of any action for such provisional remedy or interim or conservatory measure. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of goods does not apply to this Agreement.


17.10. Dispute Resolution. The Parties expressly waive any right to trial by jury concerning any dispute arising from or relating to this Agreement. At the election of either Party to this Agreement, any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of, relating to, or in connection with the following shall be submitted for final resolution by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) or the International Centre for Dispute Resolution (“ICDR”): Licensee’s purchase or use of the Software; the Software’s performance, including without limitation any alleged deficiency or defect; the existence or breach of a contractual, statutory, or common-law warranty; the terms and obligations of this Agreement; the performance, termination, rescission, or alleged breach of this Agreement; and the Agreement’s validity or enforceability, including without limitation any claim that all or any part of this Agreement is void, voidable, unconscionable, or unenforceable (collectively, “Arbitral Dispute”). In the event arbitration is elected, both Parties expressly waive any right to a trial by jury. The AAA and ICDR are referred to as “Arbitral Bodies”. Any claim for infringement or violation of copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property rights is not an Arbitral Dispute, but shall be brought before a court of competent jurisdiction in Salt Lake County, State of Utah, U.S.A. In the event of an Arbitral Dispute, the election to arbitrate must be made in writing by a Party on or before the last day to answer and/or respond to a summons and/or complaint brought by the other Party. If Licensee is a U.S. resident or maintains a place of business in the U.S., the arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules in effect at the time of the arbitration, excepting any rules pertaining to class arbitrations. If Licensee is not a U.S. resident or does not maintain a place of business in the U.S., the arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the ICDR International Arbitration Rules in effect at the time of the arbitration, excepting any rules pertaining to class arbitrations. (The Commercial Arbitration Rules and International Arbitration Rules are collectively referred to as the “Rules”. Copies of the Rules can be obtained, free of charge, at http://www.adr.org/.) The Parties intend that any arbitration between them shall involve only the dispute between the Parties. No other dispute between a Party and a third party shall be included in the arbitration. Class arbitration shall not be permitted. The arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator selected in accordance with the Rules. The place of arbitration shall be Salt Lake County, State of Utah, U.S.A. and shall be conducted in the English language, unless the Parties agree otherwise in writing. Any award by the arbitrator(s) must be a reasoned award that: fully sets forth findings of fact from the evidence presented; applies the findings of fact to the law of the case; fully sets forth conclusions of law based upon the Parties’ respective legal theories; explains which legal theories were followed and why; and, if damages, costs, and/or fees are awarded, specifies the calculations of the types of damages, costs, and/or fees awarded as to each Party. Any award is final and binding on the Parties and may be challenged in a court of competent jurisdiction only upon those grounds allowed under the Utah Uniform Arbitration Act, Utah Code Ann. section 78B-11-101 et seq. In the absence of challenge, judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Without otherwise limiting the authority conferred on the arbitrator(s) by this Agreement and the Rules, the Arbitral Body shall not have the authority to exercise equitable principles and award equitable remedies. By agreeing to Arbitration, the Parties do not intend to deprive any court of competent jurisdiction in Salt Lake County, State of Utah, U.S.A., of its ability to issue any form of provisional remedy, including but not limited to a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, attachment in aid of arbitration, or order for any interim or conservatory measure. A request for such provisional remedy or interim or conservatory measure by a Party to a court shall not be deemed a waiver of an agreement to arbitrate.
