Title and ownership of the Software is NOT transferred to End User. End User owns the diskette(s) purchased, but dESCO continues to own the Software recorded on it and all copies of it and all related intellectual property.

LIMITED WARRANTY AND DISCLAIMER

For thirty (30) days after the Invoice date as shown in your Invoice for the Software ("Warranty Period"), if for any reason End User is not 100% satisfied with the Software, then End User may return it, provided the End User within the Warranty Period (i) contacts dESCO to obtain a Return Merchandise Authorization number and (ii) returns to dESCO the Software, Documentation and all dESCO provided diskettes, pens, mouse pads and related items. The End User's sole remedy, and dESCO's and its suppliers’ entire liability, under this Limited Warranty is that dESCO will refund the price you paid for the Software license. This does not include a refund of any amounts paid for any Third Party Software, any Services and/or any hardware. dESCO DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SOFTWARE AND/OR SERVICES WILL BE ERROR-FREE OR FREE FROM INTERRUPTIONS OR OTHER FAILURES, THAT THEY WILL PROTECT YOU AGAINST ALL POSSIBLE SECURITY THREATS (INCLUDING INTENTIONAL MISCONDUCT BY THIRD PARTIES), THAT THERE WILL BE NO MALFUNCTIONS OR OTHER ERRORS IN THE SOFTWARE CAUSED BY VIRUS, INFECTION, WORM OR SIMILAR MALICIOUS CODE NOT INTRODUCED OR DEVELOPED BY US, OR THAT THE SOFTWARE OR SERVICES WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS.

EXCEPT AS SPECIFIED IN THIS SECTION, THE SOFTWARE AND THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” BASIS, dESCO SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY FOR THE SOFTWARE AND ANY SERVICES PROVIDED IN FURTHERANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT; dESCO MAKES AND END USER RECEIVES NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR IN ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER COMMUNICATION; AND dESCO SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND TITLE.

dESCO MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS AS TO THE MATERIAL, WORKMANSHIP OR MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OF THE SOFTWARE PROVIDED HEREUNDER, NOR SHALL dESCO HAVE ANY LIABILITY IN NEGLIGENCE OR TORT WITH RESPECT TO THE SOFTWARE.

dESCO's MAXIMUM LIABILITY FOR ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, LOSSES AND/OR DAMAGES (IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE) UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF ALL LICENSE FEES PAID TO dESCO FOR THE SOFTWARE.

IN NO EVENT SHALL dESCO BE LIABLE TO THE END USER OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE AND/OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOST PROFITS AND/OR LOSS OF DATA, EVEN IF SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH POTENTIAL LOSS OR DAMAGE.

End User agrees to permit dESCO and its representatives access to the Software so as to perform requested repair work and/or correction of any defects. End User understands that such requested repair work may require more than one attempt to correct and agrees that failure to provide dESCO access to such Software waives any and all rights End User may have against dESCO relating to such defects.

End User agrees to follow such instruction as dESCO may give to End User relating to the operation, maintenance and utilization of the Software. End User understands that the Software will only function properly if operated properly and in manner specified by dESCO. End User understands and agrees that failure to follow the instruction provided by dESCO to correct defects claimed by End User waives any and all rights End User may have against dESCO for and resulting from such defects.

GOVERNMENT END-USER NOTICE

The Software is a “Commercial Item,” as that term is defined at 48 C.F.R. § 2.101, consisting of “Commercial Computer Software” and “Commercial Computer Software Documentation,” as such terms are used in 48 C.F.R. § 12.212 and 48 C.F.R. § 227.7202, as applicable. Consistent with 48 C.F.R. §§ 12.212, 227.7202-1 through 227,7202-4, the Commercial Computer Software and Commercial Computer Software Documentation are being licensed to U.S. Government end-users (a) only as Commercial Items and (b) with only those rights as are granted to all other end-users pursuant to the terms and conditions herein.

GENERAL

This Agreement and all transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, without reference and/or regard to its conflicts of laws principles.

The parties specifically agree that the U.N. Convention on the International Sale of Goods, and the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act (“UCITA”), shall not apply to this Agreement.

All disputes arising out of or related to this Agreement shall be brought solely in the Federal District Court of the Middle District of Florida (Ft. Myers Division), or if such court lacks subject matter over the dispute, in the State courts of Florida in Lee County. The parties irrevocably submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts and waive any venue objection to such courts in any dispute arising out of or related to this Agreement.

The rights and obligations contained in ("Termination"), ("Title"), ("Limited Warranty and Disclaimer"), ("Limitation of Liability; Exclusion of Consequential Damages") and ("General") shall survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement.

End User agrees that certain breaches of this Agreement by End User may result in irreparable harm to the dESCO, the extent of which would be difficult and/or impracticable to assess, and that monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy for such breach. Accordingly, End User agrees that the dESCO shall be entitled to seek immediate equitable and other provisional relief including without limitation specific performance of this Agreement and a temporary restraining order and/or preliminary and/ or permanent injunction, as a remedy for such breach in addition to any and all other remedies available at law or in equity and without prejudice to any such other remedies.

End User may not sublicense, rent, lease or lend the Software and it may not transfer any copy of the Software to another person or computer, unless End User transfers all copies, including the original, and previously advises dESCO in writing of the name and address of that person, who first must pay the then current transfer fee and agree in writing to the terms of this license in order to use the Software.

In the event of a dispute arising under this Agreement that results in litigation, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorney's fees and costs from the non-prevailing party.

If any part of this Agreement shall be held unenforceable, the remainder of the Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect.

dESCO shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performing its obligations under this Agreement, nor for any damages suffered by the End User by reason of such failure or delay, which is, indirectly or directly, caused by an event beyond dESCO’s control including but not limited to strikes, riots, natural catastrophes, terrorist acts, governmental intervention, or other acts of God, or any other causes beyond dESCO's reasonable control.

This constitutes the entire Agreement between the End User and dESCO with respect to the purchase of the Software license. Other than Invoice (s), representations or statements not contained in this Agreement shall not be binding upon dESCO as a warranty or otherwise. This Agreement shall not be modified by End User purchase orders, advertising or other representations of anyone, unless a written amendment hereto has been signed by one of dESCO’s officers.
