8.1. The Licensor guarantees that, for a period of one year from the date of purchase of the Licence for the Software:
a) any Software updates will be made available to the Licensee;
b) the Software will function in accordance with the documentation accompanying it.
8.2. In the event of a breach of the terms and conditions of the Limited Warranty, the Licensor's liability to the Licensee shall, at the Licensor's discretion, consist of either:
a) refunding to the Licensee the amount paid for the Software, provided that the Licensee returns to the Licensor the rights to use the Software together with a copy of the proof of payment; or
b) repairing or replacing Software that does not conform to the terms of the Limited Warranty and that has been returned to the Licensor together with a copy of the proof of payment.
8.3. The Limited Warranty shall be null and void where the failure of the Software or equipment results from an accident or improper use of the Software. Any replacement Software shall be warranted for the remainder of the original warranty period or for thirty (30) days, whichever period is longer.
8.4. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the Software is supplied "as is", and the Licensor disclaims all other warranties, whether express or implied, including, without limitation, any implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose.
8.5. The Licensor shall under no circumstances be liable for any loss or damage (including, without limitation, direct, indirect, punitive, special or incidental loss or damage, as well as loss of business profits, business interruption, loss of business reputation or any other material loss) arising from the use of, or inability to use, the Software, or from any Technical Support that the Licensor may provide to the Licensee, even where the Licensor has been advised of the possibility of such loss or damage.
8.6. The Licensor's total liability in respect of any claims, losses or damage shall not exceed the amount paid by the Licensee to the Licensor for the Software.
8.7. The limitation of liability set out in Clause 8.6 is complete and exclusive and shall apply even where the Licensor has been advised of the possibility of claims, losses or damage exceeding that limit, irrespective of the success or effectiveness of any other remedies available to the Licensor. This limitation of liability reflects the allocation of risk between the Licensee and the Licensor.
