LIMITED WARRANTY: Empower Technologies warrants the media containing the Software for a period of ninety (90) days from the date of original purchase from Empower Technologies or its authorized retailer. Proof of date of purchase will be required. Any updates to the Software provided by Empower Technologies (which may be provided by Empower Technologies at its sole discretion) shall be governed by the terms of this License Agreement. The sole obligation of Empower Technologies with respect to this express warranty shall be (at the discretion of Empower Technologies) to refund the purchase price paid by you for the Software on the defective media, or to replace the Software on new media. Empower Technologies makes no warranty or representation that its software products will meet your requirements or will work in combination with any hardware or applications software products provided by third parties, that the operation of the software products will be uninterrupted or error free, or that all defects in the Software will be corrected.

WARRANTIES EXCLUSIVE: IF THE SOFTWARE MEDIA DOES NOT OPERATE AS WARRANTED ABOVE, YOUR SOLE REMEDY FOR BREACH OF THAT WARRANTY SHALL BE REPLACEMENT OF THE SOFTWARE ON NEW MEDIA OR REFUND OF THE PURCHASE PRICE PAID, AT THE OPTION OF EMPOWER TECHNOLOGIES AND DEPENDENT UPON PRIOR AUTHORIZATION. TO THE FULL EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, THE FOREGOING WARRANTIES AND REMEDIES ARE EXCLUSIVE AND ARE IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, TERMS, OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, EITHER IN FACT OR BY OPERATION OF LAW, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING WARRANTIES, TERMS, OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND SATISFACTORY QUALITY. EMPOWER TECHNOLOGIES NEITHER ASSUMES NOR AUTHORIZES ANY OTHER PERSON TO ASSUME FOR IT ANY OTHER LIABILITY IN CONNECTION WITH THE SALE, INSTALLATION, MAINTENANCE, OR USE OF ITS PRODUCTS.

Empower Technologies shall not be liable under this warranty if its testing and examination disclose that the alleged defect in the product does not exist or was caused by your or any third person's misuse, neglect, improper installation or testing, unauthorized attempts to repair or modify, or any other cause beyond the range of the intended use, or by accident, fire, lightning, or other hazards or acts of God. This warranty does not apply when the malfunction results from the use of this product in conjunction with accessories, other products, or ancillary or peripheral equipment, and Empower Technologies determines that there is no fault with the product itself.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. TO THE FULL EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, EMPOWER TECHNOLOGIES ALSO EXCLUDES FOR ITSELF AND ITS SUPPLIERS ANY LIABILITY, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT OR TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), FOR INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, OR FOR LOSS OF REVENUE OR PROFITS, LOSS OF BUSINESS, LOSS OF INFORMATION OR DATA, OR OTHER FINANCIAL LOSS ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SALE, INSTALLATION, MAINTENANCE, USE, PERFORMANCE, FAILURE, OR INTERRUPTION OF THIS PRODUCT, EVEN IF EMPOWER TECHNOLOGIES OR ITS AUTHORIZED RESELLER HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, AND LIMITS ITS LIABILITY TO REPLACEMENT OF THE SOFTWARE ON NEW MEDIA, OR REFUND OF THE PURCHASE PRICE PAID, AT THE OPTION OF EMPOWER TECHNOLOGIES. THIS DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES WILL NOT BE AFFECTED IF ANY REMEDY PROVIDED HEREIN SHALL FAIL OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

SEVERABILITY: In the event any provision of this License Agreement is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the validity, legality, and enforceability of any of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired, and a valid, legal, and enforceable provision of similar intent and economic impact shall be substituted therefore. The headings used in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not be considered part of the Agreement.
