Our entire liability to you and your exclusive remedy for a breach of this warranty will be, at our option, to either:
7.10.1 repair or replace the software or medium which does not conform with this warranty; or

It is your responsibility to ensure that the software is suitable for your needs (and we offer a trial period of the software for you to do this) and you assume the entire risk as to the performance and results of the software.
8. Services, services warranty, and returns
8.1 We shall supply and you shall pay for any services in accordance with any applicable proposal (if a proposal is issued) and subject to these terms.
8.2 If any services involve supplying deliverables to you, we shall provide them to you when completed.
8.3 If we have agreed any acceptance testing with you for deliverables in a proposal you must carry out the acceptance tests using the agreed acceptance criteria within five (5) days of us providing the deliverables to you and must provide us a report accepting or rejecting the deliverables within that period. The deliverables will be accepted when they have passed the acceptance tests. If we do not receive a report within five (5) days of provision of deliverables you will be deemed to have accepted them.
8.4 You may only reject deliverables where they have failed properly conducted acceptance tests completed in good faith. If you properly reject a deliverable we shall remedy the defect at no extra charge to you so that the deliverable complies with the relevant agreed proposal in all material respects as soon as reasonably practicable (except where the failure of acceptance is properly attributable to a breach by you of your obligations). The remedy of the relevant defect is your sole and exclusive remedy for a failure of acceptance.
8.5 The specific warranty that applies in respect of software is set out in clause 7. For services we perform for you we warrant that if you demonstrate to our reasonable satisfaction, within ninety (90) days from the date of delivery (or, if applicable, acceptance), any deliverables (other than software) materially fail to comply with their relevant agreed functional specification, we will (at our sole option) correct such defect or replace the relevant deliverables free of charge or provide a refund in respect of the relevant deliverables, provided that:
8.5.1 you have properly installed the deliverables;
8.5.2 you have used the deliverables at all times properly and in accordance with instructions for use;
8.5.3 you have made no alteration, modification or addition to the deliverables without our prior written consent.
8.6 You must send any claim under paragraph 8.5 to us in writing, specifying the nature of the defect, and must grant us access to the deliverables in question and allow the removal of them to enable us to test or to inspect the deliverables at our premises.
8.7 Unless stated explicitly in a proposal or functional specification, we make and you receive about the deliverables no other warranties, conditions or representations, express or implied, statutory or otherwise, and (without limitation) the implied terms of satisfactory quality and fitness for a particular purpose are excluded.
8.8 The remedies specified in paragraph 8.5 are our only liability for and your only remedy in respect of any defect, error or other failure of the deliverables.
8.9 Subject to paragraphs 8.5-8.8 we warrant that we shall perform all services using all reasonable care and skill.
8.10 Where a proposal specifies any date for the completion of services (or parts thereof) or the delivery of any deliverables, time for such completion and delivery shall not be of the essence and we shall have no liability to you arising out of or in connection with any failure to provide the services or deliverables by such dates.
8.11 You may at any time prior to completion of services request in writing that we modify or extend the services, and if you do you must provide us with full particulars of any requested modification or extension and such further information as we may reasonably require. As soon as reasonably practicable following our receipt of such a request we will inform you whether such modification or extension is technically and commercially feasible, and shall inform you of any alterations to our charges and any completion and delivery dates that we judge necessary to make as a result of such request. You may, within fourteen (14) days of receipt of our response accept its terms, after which the proposal shall be deemed to be amended to incorporate the modified or extended services agreed and any altered charges and completion and delivery dates.
8.12 Our refunds policy available at https://www.cliksoftware.com/refund-policy/ is incorporated in and forms part of these terms.
8.13 The continued and uninterrupted use of Clik Service is reliant on the annual purchase of Clik Cover (tech support). Should you purchase any add on software developed and retailed by us, i.e., Clik Remote, Clik Jobs, Clik Cert and other products as we from time to time develop and offer, it is incumbent on you to purchase Clik Cover for each individual product licence in order that you receive support, software updates and that the product will continue to function. Should you purchase an add on product, the relevant annual Cover will be billed at a pro-rate of your Clik Service Cover expiry date in order that all product Cover is renewed in any one month, i.e., if you purchase Cover for Clik Service in April and then decide to purchase Clik Jobs in August, the Cover for Clik Jobs will be billed for only 9 months and then annually thereafter.
8.14 Software we provide to you may include third party software or applications. If it does, your right to use the third party software or applications in conjunction with the software may be subject to your agreement of end user licence agreements with those third parties, in addition to these terms. If you choose to discontinue any end user licence agreement (for example, by choosing not to continue with Clik Cover, or to pay any other applicable renewal fee) you will still be able to use the software without the third party software or applications, but you will not be able to obtain any updates, receive ‘call-in’ support, or use any functionality in the software that links to or depends on the third party software or applications.
