The warranty provided in this Section 6 will only apply to the most current release of the Program(s) provided to Licensee.

In addition, Licensor and the Channel Partner and their respective subsidiaries, affiliates and suppliers expressly disclaim any warranty or representation to any person other than Licensee with respect to the Program(s) or any part thereof.

(i) Provide a correction or work-around to correct the breach; or
(ii) Modify the Program(s) to conform substantially to the Manual; or
(iii) If the Manual is in error, modify the Manual to accurately reflect the Program(s)'s intended functionality and actual operation; or
(iv) Permit Licensee to terminate the Agreement and refund to Licensee a pro rata share of the license fees for the Program(s). For purposes of calculating this refund for a Paid-Up License, a Paid-Up License will be deemed to have a term of three (3) years.
(f) LICENSEE'S REMEDIES AS SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION ARE THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES TO WHICH LICENSEE IS ENTITLED. 7. INDEMNIFICATION
(a) Licensor will defend at its expense any claim, suit or proceeding (each, a "Claim") brought against Licensee by any third party to the extent such Claim asserts that the Program(s) infringes or conflicts with any rights of such third party under copyright laws of any country that is a signatory to the Berne Convention, any trademark issued under the laws of the United States, any State of the United States or any member state of the European Union or any trade secret laws of the United States, any State of the United States or any member state of the European Union, and Licensor will pay all costs and damages finally awarded against Licensee by a court of competent jurisdiction as a result of any such claim; provided, however, that Licensee (i) promptly notifies Licensor in writing of such Claim; (ii) promptly gives Licensor the right to control and direct the investigation, preparation, defense and settlement of such Claim, with counsel of Licensor's own choosing (provided that Licensee will have the right to reasonably participate, at its own expense, in the defense of any such Claim); and (iii) gives assistance and full cooperation for the defense of same. If a Program(s) is, or in Licensor's opinion, might be held to infringe as set forth above, Licensor may, at its option, (i) replace or modify the Program(s) so as to avoid infringement, (ii) procure the right for Licensee to continue the use and resale of the Program(s), or (iii) terminate any licenses to the Program(s) and/or this Agreement and require Licensee to return the Program(s) to Licensor, in which event Licensor will refund to Licensee a pro rata portion of the amounts paid for such Program(s). For the purposes of calculating this refund for a Paid-Up License, a Paid-Up License will be deemed to have a term of three (3) years. FOR PURPOSES OF THIS SECTION 7(a), PROGRAM(S) WILL NOT INCLUDE ANY COMPONENTS OR PRODUCTS, WHETHER HARDWARE OR SOFTWARE, MANUFACTURED BY A THIRD PARTY.
(b) The foregoing indemnity will not apply to any Claim based upon or arising from (i) use of the Program(s) in a manner for which it was not designed or not in accordance with the Manual, (ii) use of the Program(s), when use of a subsequent software release which Licensor has made commercially available would have avoided such infringement; or (iii) Licensee's continued use of the Program(s) subsequent to receipt of notice of any claimed infringement. This Section 7 represents the sole and exclusive remedy of Licensee and the entire liability and obligation of Licensor with respect to infringement or claims of infringement or misappropriation of any intellectual property right (including any trade secret) by Licensor or by its operation, use or receipt of the Program(s). 8. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNITY
(a) SUBJECT TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, LICENSOR, CHANNEL PARTNER, AND THEIR RESPECTIVE SUBSIDIARIES, AFFILIATES AND SUPPLIERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO LICENSEE OR ANY OTHER PARTY FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES. Regardless of whether or not the parties have been advised of the likelihood of such damages or losses, said limitation of liability includes but is not limited to lost profits (whether direct or indirect), revenues, anticipated savings, goodwill, business opportunities, wasted or lost production and/or management's or employees' time, or loss of or corruption of software data, or database configuration, or use of the Program(s) by Licensee, or inability of Licensee to use the Program(s), or inaccurate output, or Licensor's breach of this Agreement whether in contract, negligence, tort, or under any other theory of liability. In no event will Licensor's and the Channel Partner's aggregate liability to Licensee exceed the greater of: (i) the fees paid by Licensee under the Agreement or (ii) 5,000.00 U.S. Dollars. Licensee acknowledges that given all the circumstances, the limits on Licensor's liability are reasonable because of (amongst other matters) the likelihood that without those limitations the amount of damages awardable to Licensee for a breach by Licensor or Channel Partner of this Agreement may be disproportionately greater than the license fees paid or payable for the Program(s). Licensee acknowledges it has taken out adequate insurance to cover its risks under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, Licensee is entirely responsible for keeping full back up copies of its software, data and database configurations in accordance with best industry practice.
(b) Each of Licensor's and Channel Partner's (and their respective subsidiaries', affiliates' and suppliers') employees, agents, and sub-contractors may rely upon and enforce the exclusions and restrictions of liability in this Section 8 in that person's own name and for that person's own benefit, as if the words "and their employees, agents, sub-contractors, and suppliers" followed the words "Licensor and the Channel Partner" wherever it appears in this Section 8.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, neither party limits its liability (if any) to the other party for any matter which it would be illegal for that party to exclude or to attempt to exclude its liability, but nothing in this clause confers any right or remedy upon the other party to which it would not otherwise be entitled.
(d) The Program(s) is a mathematical analysis tool intended to assist Licensee in Licensee's development and design processes and requires considerable skill and judgment for its correct use and for the interpretation of the computed results. The Program(s) is not intended to be nor is it a substitute for rigorous and comprehensive prototype or other testing by Licensee of products prior to production and sale. Licensee agrees to defend, indemnify and hold Licensor, Channel Partner, subsidiaries and affiliates, along with its and their officers, directors, employees and agents (collectively, the "Indemnified Parties") harmless from and against all losses, damages, liability (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by such Indemnified Parties as a result of Licensee's use of the Program(s); provided, however that such indemnification obligations will not extend to (i) claims for which Licensor is required to indemnify Licensee under Section 7 or (ii) claims arising out of Licensor's willful misconduct. 9. TECHNICAL ENHANCEMENTS AND CUSTOMER SUPPORT (TECS)
(a) TECS will consist of (i) reasonable telephone or email support ("Customer Support"); and (ii) Program releases or corrections provided by Licensor without additional charge to TECS customers generally ("Technical Enhancements"). Customer Support will be provided solely to the ASC. The ASC will provide first-level support to all of Licensee's users permitted to use the Program(s) under the terms of this Agreement. Licensee may change the ASC at any time upon written notice to the Channel Partner or, if the Program(s) were not obtained from a Channel Partner, to Licensor. Customer Support will be provided by the Channel Partner unless otherwise specified by Licensor. Technical Enhancements will be provided by Licensor at such times as determined solely by Licensor.
(b) During the period of time in which Licensee is entitled to receive TECS for a Program, Licensee may request three (3) replacement License Keys due to a change of the Designated Network within one year from the TECS effective date at no additional charge. Additional replacement License Key(s) or replacement License Key(s) during the period of time in which TECS is not current, may be provided in consideration for payment of Licensor's then-current administrative fee.
(c) For a Lease License, the annual TECS fee is included in the Lease License fee.
(d) For a Paid-Up License, telephone or email assistance for Program installation will be provided without charge for thirty (30) days from the Effective Date of Program(s). In consideration for payment of the then-current TECS fees, TECS for a Paid-Up License will be provided by the Channel Partner or Licensor. TECS will automatically renew at the then-current renewal fees for a renewal term equal to the duration of the immediately preceding term unless Licensee, Channel Partner, or Licensor gives prior written notice of its intent to terminate TECS no later than 30 days prior to the end of the TECS term. TECS will terminate automatically upon Licensee's failure to: (i) deliver a valid purchase order or (2) pay the then-current TECS renewal fees to Channel Partner or Licensor. In the event TECS is terminated prior to the end of the term, no refund will be due to Licensee for any portion of the prepaid TECS fee.
(e) Licensor and the Channel Partner will have no obligation to provide TECS: (i) for other than the two most recent commercially available releases of each Program(s); (ii) for any Program(s) that have been altered, damaged or modified by Licensee or on Licensee's behalf; or (iii) for any problems caused by Licensee's negligence or use of the Program(s) other than in accordance with the Manual and this Agreement.
(f) Licensor may, from time to time, post notices of Class3 Errors in Program(s) on its Customer Portal website (currently at http://www1.ansys.com/customer/) or in such other manner as Licensor may decide in its sole discretion upon providing notice on the Customer Portal website.?The ASC will promptly notify all of Licensee's users of the Program(s) of Class3 Errors in the Program(s).
(g) In the event that TECS are discontinued by Licensee and the Licensee later wishes to reinstate TECS, reinstatement may be permitted by Licensor in its sole discretion and, in addition to the applicable TECS fee, a fee will be charged by Licensor for reinstatement in an amount to be determined by Licensor that is no less than the total fees that would have been payable had TECS remained in effect during the period in which it was discontinued. 10.

The warranty provided in this Section 6 will only apply to the most current release of the Program(s) provided to Licensee.

(b) Licensor and the Channel Partner and their respective subsidiaries, affiliates and suppliers do not warrant the accuracy or the applicability of the results obtained from the use of the Program(s) or the Manual.

(d) THE EXPRESS WARRANTY SET FORTH IN SECTION 6(a) OF THIS AGREEMENT IS IN LIEU OF, AND LICENSOR AND THE CHANNEL PARTNER AND THEIR RESPECTIVE SUBSIDIARIES, AFFILIATES AND SUPPLIERS DISCLAIM ANY AND ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, CONDITIONS, OR REPRESENTATIONS (EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ORAL OR WRITTEN), WITH RESPECT TO THE PROGRAM(S) OR ANY PART THEREOF, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY AND ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, OR FITNESS OR SUITABILITY FOR ANY PURPOSE (whether or not Licensor or the Channel Partner and their respective subsidiaries, affiliates and suppliers know, have reason to know, have been advised, or are otherwise in fact aware of any such purpose), whether alleged to arise by law, by reason of custom or usage in the trade, or by course of dealing. In addition, Licensor and the Channel Partner and their respective subsidiaries, affiliates and suppliers expressly disclaim any warranty or representation to any person other than Licensee with respect to the Program(s) or any part thereof.

(i) Provide a correction or work-around to correct the breach; or
(ii) Modify the Program(s) to conform substantially to the Manual; or
(iii) If the Manual is in error, modify the Manual to accurately reflect the Program(s)'s intended functionality and actual operation; or
(iv) Permit Licensee to terminate the Agreement and refund to Licensee a pro rata share of the license fees for the Program(s). For purposes of calculating this refund for a Paid-Up License, a Paid-Up License will be deemed to have a term of three (3) years.
(f) LICENSEE'S REMEDIES AS SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION ARE THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES TO WHICH LICENSEE IS ENTITLED. 7. INDEMNIFICATION
(a) Licensor will defend at its expense any claim, suit or proceeding (each, a "Claim") brought against Licensee by any third party to the extent such Claim asserts that the Program(s) infringes or conflicts with any rights of such third party under copyright laws of any country that is a signatory to the Berne Convention, any trademark issued under the laws of the United States, any State of the United States or any member state of the European Union or any trade secret laws of the United States, any State of the United States or any member state of the European Union, and Licensor will pay all costs and damages finally awarded against Licensee by a court of competent jurisdiction as a result of any such claim; provided, however, that Licensee (i) promptly notifies Licensor in writing of such Claim; (ii) promptly gives Licensor the right to control and direct the investigation, preparation, defense and settlement of such Claim, with counsel of Licensor's own choosing (provided that Licensee will have the right to reasonably participate, at its own expense, in the defense of any such Claim); and (iii) gives assistance and full cooperation for the defense of same. If a Program(s) is, or in Licensor's opinion, might be held to infringe as set forth above, Licensor may, at its option, (i) replace or modify the Program(s) so as to avoid infringement, (ii) procure the right for Licensee to continue the use and resale of the Program(s), or (iii) terminate any licenses to the Program(s) and/or this Agreement and require Licensee to return the Program(s) to Licensor, in which event Licensor will refund to Licensee a pro rata portion of the amounts paid for such Program(s). For the purposes of calculating this refund for a Paid-Up License, a Paid-Up License will be deemed to have a term of three (3) years. FOR PURPOSES OF THIS SECTION 7(a), PROGRAM(S) WILL NOT INCLUDE ANY COMPONENTS OR PRODUCTS, WHETHER HARDWARE OR SOFTWARE, MANUFACTURED BY A THIRD PARTY.
(b) The foregoing indemnity will not apply to any Claim based upon or arising from (i) use of the Program(s) in a manner for which it was not designed or not in accordance with the Manual, (ii) use of the Program(s), when use of a subsequent software release which Licensor has made commercially available would have avoided such infringement; or (iii) Licensee's continued use of the Program(s) subsequent to receipt of notice of any claimed infringement. This Section 7 represents the sole and exclusive remedy of Licensee and the entire liability and obligation of Licensor with respect to infringement or claims of infringement or misappropriation of any intellectual property right (including any trade secret) by Licensor or by its operation, use or receipt of the Program(s). 8. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNITY
(a) SUBJECT TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, LICENSOR, CHANNEL PARTNER, AND THEIR RESPECTIVE SUBSIDIARIES, AFFILIATES AND SUPPLIERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO LICENSEE OR ANY OTHER PARTY FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES. Regardless of whether or not the parties have been advised of the likelihood of such damages or losses, said limitation of liability includes but is not limited to lost profits (whether direct or indirect), revenues, anticipated savings, goodwill, business opportunities, wasted or lost production and/or management's or employees' time, or loss of or corruption of software data, or database configuration, or use of the Program(s) by Licensee, or inability of Licensee to use the Program(s), or inaccurate output, or Licensor's breach of this Agreement whether in contract, negligence, tort, or under any other theory of liability. In no event will Licensor's and the Channel Partner's aggregate liability to Licensee exceed the greater of: (i) the fees paid by Licensee under the Agreement or (ii) 5,000.00 U.S. Dollars. Licensee acknowledges that given all the circumstances, the limits on Licensor's liability are reasonable because of (amongst other matters) the likelihood that without those limitations the amount of damages awardable to Licensee for a breach by Licensor or Channel Partner of this Agreement may be disproportionately greater than the license fees paid or payable for the Program(s). Licensee acknowledges it has taken out adequate insurance to cover its risks under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, Licensee is entirely responsible for keeping full back up copies of its software, data and database configurations in accordance with best industry practice.
(b) Each of Licensor's and Channel Partner's (and their respective subsidiaries', affiliates' and suppliers') employees, agents, and sub-contractors may rely upon and enforce the exclusions and restrictions of liability in this Section 8 in that person's own name and for that person's own benefit, as if the words "and their employees, agents, sub-contractors, and suppliers" followed the words "Licensor and the Channel Partner" wherever it appears in this Section 8.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, neither party limits its liability (if any) to the other party for any matter which it would be illegal for that party to exclude or to attempt to exclude its liability, but nothing in this clause confers any right or remedy upon the other party to which it would not otherwise be entitled.
(d) The Program(s) is a mathematical analysis tool intended to assist Licensee in Licensee's development and design processes and requires considerable skill and judgment for its correct use and for the interpretation of the computed results. The Program(s) is not intended to be nor is it a substitute for rigorous and comprehensive prototype or other testing by Licensee of products prior to production and sale. Licensee agrees to defend, indemnify and hold Licensor, Channel Partner, subsidiaries and affiliates, along with its and their officers, directors, employees and agents (collectively, the "Indemnified Parties") harmless from and against all losses, damages, liability (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by such Indemnified Parties as a result of Licensee's use of the Program(s); provided, however that such indemnification obligations will not extend to (i) claims for which Licensor is required to indemnify Licensee under Section 7 or (ii) claims arising out of Licensor's willful misconduct. 9. TECHNICAL ENHANCEMENTS AND CUSTOMER SUPPORT (TECS)
(a) TECS will consist of (i) reasonable telephone or email support ("Customer Support"); and (ii) Program releases or corrections provided by Licensor without additional charge to TECS customers generally ("Technical Enhancements"). Customer Support will be provided solely to the ASC. The ASC will provide first-level support to all of Licensee's users permitted to use the Program(s) under the terms of this Agreement. Licensee may change the ASC at any time upon written notice to the Channel Partner or, if the Program(s) were not obtained from a Channel Partner, to Licensor. Customer Support will be provided by the Channel Partner unless otherwise specified by Licensor. Technical Enhancements will be provided by Licensor at such times as determined solely by Licensor.
(b) During the period of time in which Licensee is entitled to receive TECS for a Program, Licensee may request three (3) replacement License Keys due to a change of the Designated Network within one year from the TECS effective date at no additional charge. Additional replacement License Key(s) or replacement License Key(s) during the period of time in which TECS is not current, may be provided in consideration for payment of Licensor's then-current administrative fee.
(c) For a Lease License, the annual TECS fee is included in the Lease License fee.
(d) For a Paid-Up License, telephone or email assistance for Program installation will be provided without charge for thirty (30) days from the Effective Date of Program(s). In consideration for payment of the then-current TECS fees, TECS for a Paid-Up License will be provided by the Channel Partner or Licensor. TECS will automatically renew at the then-current renewal fees for a renewal term equal to the duration of the immediately preceding term unless Licensee, Channel Partner, or Licensor gives prior written notice of its intent to terminate TECS no later than 30 days prior to the end of the TECS term. TECS will terminate automatically upon Licensee's failure to: (i) deliver a valid purchase order or (2) pay the then-current TECS renewal fees to Channel Partner or Licensor. In the event TECS is terminated prior to the end of the term, no refund will be due to Licensee for any portion of the prepaid TECS fee.
(e) Licensor and the Channel Partner will have no obligation to provide TECS: (i) for other than the two most recent commercially available releases of each Program(s); (ii) for any Program(s) that have been altered, damaged or modified by Licensee or on Licensee's behalf; or (iii) for any problems caused by Licensee's negligence or use of the Program(s) other than in accordance with the Manual and this Agreement.
(f) Licensor may, from time to time, post notices of Class3 Errors in Program(s) on its Customer Portal website (currently at http://www1.ansys.com/customer/) or in such other manner as Licensor may decide in its sole discretion upon providing notice on the Customer Portal website.?The ASC will promptly notify all of Licensee's users of the Program(s) of Class3 Errors in the Program(s).
(g) In the event that TECS are discontinued by Licensee and the Licensee later wishes to reinstate TECS, reinstatement may be permitted by Licensor in its sole discretion and, in addition to the applicable TECS fee, a fee will be charged by Licensor for reinstatement in an amount to be determined by Licensor that is no less than the total fees that would have been payable had TECS remained in effect during the period in which it was discontinued. 10.
