3. LIMITED WARRANTY

RCS warrants that (a) the SOFTWARE PRODUCT will, for a period of ninety (180) days from the date of your receipt, perform substantially in accordance with RCS's written materials accompanying it, and (b) any Support Services provided by RCS shall be substantially as described in applicable written materials provided to you by RCS, and (c) RCS support engineers will make commercially reasonable efforts to solve any problem issues with the SOFTWARE PRODUCT. To the extent that implied warranties on the SOFTWARE PRODUCT are disclaimable, they are disclaimed herein below. Some states and jurisdictions do not allow disclaimers of or limitations on the duration of an implied warranty, so the above limitation may not apply to you. To the extent implied warranties may not be entirely disclaimed but implied warranty limitations are allowed by applicable law, implied warranties on the SOFTWARE PRODUCT, if any, are limited to 180 days.

No other warranties to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, RCS and its suppliers disclaim all, other warranties and conditions, either express or implied, including, but not limited to, implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement, with regard to the SOFTWARE PRODUCT and the provision of or failure to provide support services. This limited warranty gives you specific legal rights. You may have others, which vary from state/jurisdiction to state/jurisdiction.

4. CUSTOMER REMEDIES

RCS's and its suppliers' entire liability and your exclusive remedy shall be, at RCS's option, either (a) return of the price paid by you for the SOFTWARE PRODUCT (not to exceed the suggested retail price) if any, or (b) repair or replacement of the component(s) of the SOFTWARE PRODUCT that do(es) not meet RCS's Limited Warranty and which is returned to RCS with a copy of your purchase receipt. This Limited Warranty is void if failure of the SOFTWARE PRODUCT has resulted from accident, abuse, or misapplication. Any replacement SOFTWARE PRODUCT will be warranted for the remainder, of the original warranty period or thirty (30) days, whichever is longer.

In any case, RCS's entire liability under any provision of this DLA shall be limited to the greater of the amount actually paid by you for the SOFTWARE PRODUCT or ten Euros (10.00 Euro); provided. Because some states and jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability, the above limitation may not apply to you.

In addition, in no event does RCS authorize you to use SOFTWARE PRODUCT in applications or systems where SOFTWARE PRODUCT 's failure to perform can reasonably be expected to result in a significant physical injury, or in loss of life. Any such use by you is entirely at your own risk, and you agree to hold RCS harmless from any claims or losses relating to such unauthorized use.

C++ technology is not fault tolerant and is not designed, manufactured, or intended for use or resale as on-line control equipment in hazardous environments requiring fail-safe performance, such as in the operation of nuclear facilities, aircraft navigation or communication systems, air traffic control, direct life support machines, or weapons systems, in which the failure of software technology could lead directly to death, personal injury, or severe physical or environmental damage.
