Warranties

24 Limited Warranties. Unless otherwise specified in this Agreement, we warrant that the Software will substantially perform in accordance with the Documentation (“Warranty”) for ninety (90) days following your initial purchase of the Software (“Warranty Period”). Any non-material defect does not establish a warranty right and this warranty does not apply to NFR Software, Software you have not paid for or Software that you have altered, to the extent that such alteration has caused a Defect (as defined in the SLA).

If we cannot make the Software operate during the Warranty Period as warranted, you are entitled to terminate this Agreement for cause, provided that you return and no longer use the Software. Following receipt of the returned Software, you shall be entitled to a refund of your license fees paid for the Software. Any New Version of Software installed after expiration of the Warranty Period is not covered under the Warranty unless you have purchased and paid for a SWS and SLA subscription in case of which your sole warranties and remedies for breach of warranties are those defined in the SLA. Warranty claims must always be made in writing during the applicable period of warranty to our business or email addresses as provided in the Proposal with a copy to legal@picturepark.com.

28 Remedies. Should the Software furnished under this Agreement become, or in our sole opinion be likely to become, the subject of a claim under section 26, we may at our sole discretion and at our own expense: (a) purchase any right required for continued use of the Software; (b) modify the existing Software so it is less likely to cause infringements; or (c) replace the Software with a substantially functional equivalent. If these or other options are not commercially reasonable, we may terminate your rights to use the Software and refund any unused advance payments for the Software.

29 Obligations. Each party must notify the other promptly of a claim under sections 26 and 27. The party seeking protection must: (a) give the other sole control over the defence and settlement of the claim; and (b) give reasonable help in defending the claim. The party providing the protection will reimburse the other for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses that it incurs in giving that help and pay the amount of any resulting adverse final judgment (or settlement that the other consents to). The parties’ respective rights to defence and payment of judgments or settlements under this section are in lieu of any common law or statutory indemnification rights or analogous rights, and each party waives such common law rights.

SLA Credit calculation is based on your fees paid or payable for the SWS or SLA (or the affected part thereof) during the period in which a Defect effectively occurs (“Credit base”). SLA Credits shall be calculated by applying the corresponding percentage (or a pro-rata fraction thereof) as defined in Table A or Table B to the Credit base.

Credit base×SLA Credits in %

For example: Defect Resolution on the tenth (10) Day for Priority 1 (Critical) with warranted resolution within four (4) Days will make you eligible to receive SLA Credits for six (6) Days of delay, equivalent to a 100% of the amount paid or payable for the SWS or SLA during that month.

16 SLA Credit Limitations. In aggregate for Reaction Times and Resolution Times, SLA Credits shall in no event exceed your fees actually paid or payable for the Software during the period in which a Defect effectively occurs. All SLA Credits are strictly limited in aggregate by the caps and restrictions on liability set out in this Agreement.

17 Claiming for SLA Credits. To submit a claim, you must send it in writing to our business or email addresses as provided in the Proposal with a copy sent to legal@picturepark.com within 10 days after the date on which the warranted Defect Resolution Time or Reaction Time was not met. You must provide us with all reasonably requested details regarding and substantiating your claim, including but not limited to, detailed descriptions and durations of the Defect(s), copies of your Support Queries as well as our responses, logs of experienced effective Reaction Times; and the affected URL(s) and/or license ID.

18 Judgment. We will use all information reasonably available to validate your claim and make a good faith judgment as per the definitions in the Agreement on whether the SLA Credits apply to the claim, and to what degree you are eligible to SLA Credits. Our judgment shall be final and binding.
