7.1 LIMITED SUBSCRIPTION SERVICE WARRANTY. LeapPoint warrants that, during the Subscription Term, Subscriber’s production instance of the Subscription Service will materially conform to the Product Overview. To submit a warranty claim under this Section 7.1, Subscriber will submit a support request to resolve the non-conformity. During Business Hours, LeapPoint will respond to Error reports submitted by authorized Administrators via our Error request queue. When reporting an Error, Subscriber will describe the Error in reasonable detail, indicate the severity of the Error (e.g., the Platform is unusable by all users, the Platform is usable but critical features are inoperative, the Platform is usable with a work-around for critical features, or non-critical features are inoperative), and specify any error message(s) observed. LeapPoint will use commercially reasonable efforts to respond to Subscriber’s Error reports.

LeapPoint will determine the form of any Error correction, which may include, by way of example and not limitation, an individual patch, a workaround, a maintenance release provided in the normal course of LeapPoint’s maintenance release schedule, or a correction to erroneous documentation. If the Error persists without relief more than 30 days after notice of a warranty claim provided to LeapPoint under this Section 7.1, then Subscriber may terminate the affected Subscription Service, and submit to a claim for refund to Subscriber for any prepaid subscription fees covering that part of the applicable Subscription Term for the affected Subscription Service remaining after the effective date of termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this warranty will not apply to any Error due to a modification of or defect in the Subscription Service that is made or caused by any person other than LeapPoint or a person acting at LeapPoint’s direction. This Section 7.1 sets forth Subscriber’s exclusive rights and remedies (and LeapPoint’s sole liability) in connection with this warranty.

7.2 LIMITED PROFESSIONAL SERVICES WARRANTY. LeapPoint warrants that the Professional Services will be performed in a competent and workmanlike manner, in accordance with accepted industry standards and practices and all material requirements set forth in the SOW. Subscriber will notify LeapPoint of any breach within 30 days after performance of any non-conforming Professional Services performed by LeapPoint. On receipt of such notice, in the event of a deficiency in the Professional Services performed by LeapPoint, LeapPoint, at its option, will either use commercially reasonable efforts to re-perform the Professional Services in conformance with these warranty requirements or will terminate the affected Professional Services, whereupon Subscriber may submit a claim for a refund of any amounts paid for the nonconforming Professional Services. This Section 7.2 sets forth Subscriber’s exclusive rights and remedies (and LeapPoint’s sole liability) in connection with this warranty.

7.3 DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES.

However, if the Subscriber remedies the non-payment by making a payment in full of all fees due and owing, then LeapPoint, absent termination, may reinstate access for the remainder of the Term.

8.3 PAYMENT. Subscriber agrees to pay all Fees and other charges for the Platform and Services it obtains on the schedule set forth in the Order Form.
