of the SOFTWARE and notify us of the error within ninety (90) days from the
date of the earlier of receipt of the SOFTWARE and payment of the license fee
(THE "WARRANTY PERIOD") ECI shall at our sole option either refund the license
fee (if any) or use all reasonable endeavors to correct by patch or new release
(at its option) that part of the SOFTWARE which does not so comply provided
that such non-compliance has not been caused by (i) accident, (ii) by any
modification, variation or addition to the SOFTWARE not performed by ECI, (iii)
caused by its incorrect use, abuse or corruption of the SOFTWARE, (iv) by use
of the SOFTWARE with other software or on equipment with which it is
incompatible.
ECI does not warrant that operation of its SOFTWARE will be uninterrupted or
error free, or that any defects in the SOFTWARE are correctable or will be
corrected; or that functions contained in its SOFTWARE will operate in the
combinations, which may be selected for use by you to meet your requirements.

NOT LIMITED TO ITS PERFORMANCE, RELIABILITY OR FUNCTIONALITY, AND ECI DOES NOT
ACCEPT ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR PERFORMANCE OF WARRANTY TERMS BY THIRD PARTY
SOFTWARE OWNERS.

integrate with software and other technology owned and controlled by third
parties. In order to connect to or integrate with any and all other such third

applicable third party and not to ECI to enforce any of your rights with regard
to such third party software or technology.
