- impractical by ITServ, to refund the license fee you paid for the
- Software.

- applicable Discrepancy Repair Period and provide evidence of your
- payment of applicable license fees will ITServ be obligated to honor
- the Discrepancy Repair Period. When both of these criteria are met,
- ITServ will make a reasonable effort to respond in one or more of the

- problem is reported to ITServ. It shall be explicitly understood that
- TIME SHALL NOT BE OF THE ESSENCE with respect to such response by
- ITServ.
-
- If, pursuant to this section, ITServ provides you with replacement
- software and/or a changed procedure, then the length of the
- Discrepancy Repair Period shall be adjusted to be the longer of 1) the
- time remaining under the Discrepancy Repair Period that pertained to
- the original Software, or 2) thirty (30) days after i) the date of
- shipment to you of the replacement software, or ii) the date that
- ITServ provided an explanation to you of how to operate the Software
- so as to achieve the functionality described in the product
- documentation..
-
- If any modifications are made to the Software during the Discrepancy
- Repair Period by other than ITServ, or if you violate any term of this
- Agreement, then the Discrepancy Repair Period shall immediately be
- terminated. The Discrepancy Repair Period shall also be terminated if
- the Software is used on or with hardware or computer software other
- than that for which the Software was designed to be used.
