This limited warranty is VOID if failure of the Software is due to accident, negligence, abuse, improper installation or misuse of the Software.

7.2 Remedies. Licensor’s sole and exclusive liability and Licensee’s sole and exclusive remedy under this limited warranty shall be to, at Licensor’s election, either: (a) replace of the media if defective, or (b) use commercially reasonable efforts to repair or replace the Software to make the Software perform substantially in accordance with the accompanying Documentation. In the event Licensor is unable to remedy the non-conformity and such non-conformity materially affects the functionality of the Software, Licensee may promptly terminate the license applicable to the non-conforming Software and return such Software and any applicable Documentation to Licensor or Channel Partner, as applicable. In such event, Licensee will receive a refund of the license fee received by Licensor with respect to such Software, less the value of use to date. The above remedies are available only if Licensor or Channel Partner are promptly notified in writing within the Warranty Period. Any replacement Software will be warranted for the remainder of the original Warranty Period, or for thirty (30) days, whichever is longer.
