7. Return and Refund Policy
No Refunds for Subscriptions. Customer warrants that he inspected the product prior to signing an Agreement, and that it is adequate to his needs. Subscriptions have a predetermined billing period as specified in Agreement. No monies paid for a subscription or billing period shall be refundable, even if the subscription is terminated before the subscription or billing period is finished. Accordingly, as the subscription software products are intangible goods, Customer shall not be, ever, entitled to any refund, rebate, compensation or restitution for any reason whatsoever, even if the product contains material flaws.Products or services other than subscriptions may be refundable if provided for in the contract or order form. For the avoidance of doubt, if the contract or order form does not include a refund clause, no refunds are applicable to such products or services.
8. Early Termination
Giving notice of termination of a subscription or other contract does not relieve the Customer from the obligations of the contract or order form. If Customer does not wish to continue the subscription beyond the already paid period, the contract may provide for an early termination of the contract with a predetermined termination penalty in which case all termination clauses and penalties will apply as specified in the contract or order form.
9. Security and Other Risks
Customer acknowledges that, notwithstanding the security features of the Ospree Service, no product, hardware, software or service can provide a completely secure mechanism of electronic transmission or communication and that there are persons and entities, including enterprises, governments and quasi-governmental actors, as well as technologies, that may attempt to breach any electronic security measure. Subject only to its limited warranty obligations set forth in the SLA, Ospree will have no liability on account of any security breach caused by any such persons, entities, or technologies. Customer further acknowledges that the Ospree Service is not guaranteed to operate without interruptions, failures, or errors. If Customer or Customer End Users use the Ospree Service in any application or environment where failure could cause personal injury, loss of life, or other substantial harm, Customer assumes any associated risks and shall indemnify Ospree and hold it harmless against those risks.
10. Limitation of Liability
IN NO EVENT WILL OSPREE’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO CUSTOMER OR ANY THIRD PARTY ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR FROM THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE OSPREE SERVICE, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR UNDER ANY OTHER THEORY OF LIABILITY, EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAID BY CUSTOMER HEREUNDER OR, WITH RESPECT TO ANY SINGLE INCIDENT, THE AMOUNT PAID BY CUSTOMER HEREUNDER IN THE THREE (3) MONTH PERIOD PRECEDING THE INCIDENT.
