6. Limited Warranties.
6.1. Media Warranty. Subject to the provisions of this Section 6 and
Section 9, VeriFone warrants that the Media will be free of defects in materials
and workmanship for thirty (30) days after the delivery of the Media to
Licensee. This warranty is void if any defect is caused by abuse or
misapplication of the VeriFone Software, whether or not by accident. Licensee's
sole and exclusive remedy for any breach of this warranty will be for VeriFone
to replace or correct the defective Media. Any replacement Media or corrected
Media will be subject to this same thirty (30) day warranty.
6.2. Program Error Correction. VeriFone warrants that for ninety (90)
days after delivery to Licensee of any VeriFone Software licensed hereunder, the
VeriFone Software will perform substantially in accordance with the then current
VeriFone Documentation and the specifications annexed hereto as Exhibit D;
provided, however, that to the extent Licensee makes any modification to the
VeriFone Software, then this warranty shall not extend to such modification.
With respect to the VeriFone Software and the Third-Party Software, Licensee
hereby acknowledges and agrees that Licensee's sole remedy for any
nonconformance to the technical documentation contained in Exhibit D and/or
Program Errors, and for any damage, loss or injury resulting therefrom, shall be
those support obligations set forth in Section 4. Licensee acknowledges that
under no circumstances does VeriFone represent or warrant that all Program
Errors can or will be remedied. VeriFone warrants that support services provided
hereunder shall be performed in a workmanlike manner in accordance with normal
industry standards. VERIFONE DOES NOT WARRANT THAT OPERATION OF THE VERIFONE
SOFTWARE OR THE THIRD-PARTY SOFTWARE WILL BE ERROR-FREE, SECURE OR
UNINTERRUPTED, OR THAT APPLICATIONS DEVELOPED USING THE VERIFONE SOFTWARE WILL
BE COMPATIBLE WITH FUTURE VERSIONS OF VERIFONE'S TECHNOLOGY, AND HEREBY
DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY ON ACCOUNT THEREOF.
6.3. Disclaimer. THE EXPRESS WARRANTIES OF VERIFONE STATED IN THIS
SECTION 6.3 ARE IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING
WITHOUT LIMITATION THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS. VERIFONE
EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, REGARDING PRODUCTS OR
SERVICES PROVIDED BY ANY THIRD PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE VERIFONE SOFTWARE OR
THE THIRD-PARTY SOFTWARE. THE EXPRESS WARRANTY OBLIGATIONS OF VERIFONE STATED IN
THIS SECTION 6.3 ARE IN LIEU OF ANY OTHER LIABILITY OR OBLIGATION OF VERIFONE,
INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY LIABILITY OR OBLIGATION FOR DAMAGE, LOSS OR
INJURY (WHETHER DIRECT, INDIRECT, EXEMPLARY, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR
INCIDENTAL), ARISING FROM OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE VERIFONE SOFTWARE.
6.4. No Third Party Warranties. VERIFONE HEREBY DISCLAIMS ANY
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, BY ANY VERIFONE SUPPLIER,
AND LICENSEE ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, EXPRESS
OR IMPLIED, HAS BEEN MADE BY ANY VERIFONE SUPPLIER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.
7. Confidentiality.
7.1. Non-disclosure and Non-use. Each party receiving Confidential
Information shall treat such information as strictly confidential, and shall use
the same care to prevent disclosure of such information as such
8
party uses with respect to its own confidential and proprietary information,
which shall not be less than the care a reasonable person would use under
similar circumstances. In any event, each party receiving Confidential
Information shall (a) disclose such Confidential Information to (i) only those
authorized employees and directors of such party whose duties justify their need
to know such information and who have been clearly informed of their obligation
to maintain the confidential and/or proprietary status of such Confidential
Information; or (ii) only those third parties required for the performance of
the receiving party's obligations under this Agreement pursuant to a written
confidentiality agreement as least as extensive as the confidentiality
provisions of this Agreement; and (b) use such Confidential Information only for
the purposes set forth in this Agreement.
7.2. Certain Exceptions. The obligations set forth in this Section 7
shall not apply to any Confidential Information which must be disclosed pursuant
to applicable federal, state or local law, regulation, court order, or other
legal process, provided the receiving party has given the disclosing party prior
written notice of such required disclosure and, to the extent reasonably
possible, has given the disclosing party an opportunity to contest such required
disclosure at the disclosing party's expense.
7.3. Advertising and Press Releases. Neither party shall advertise,
issue any press release, or otherwise publish the fact that the parties have
entered into this Agreement, without the prior written consent of the other
party, except as may be required by law. The parties shall use their best
efforts to draft and issue a press release announcing the signing of this
Agreement after the Effective Date and each party may include the information
included in such press release in subsequent advertisements, press releases or
other publications without the other party's prior written consent, provided
that such party includes proper attribution of the other party's name. Following
the issuance of such press release, VeriFone may also refer to Licensee as
VeriFone's licensee and distributor in VeriFone's sales and marketing materials
and presentations.
7.4. Terms of This Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this Agreement, neither party may disclose the terms of this Agreement
(including the fees) to any third party without the express prior written
consent of the other party; provided, however, that either party may disclose
the terms of this Agreement to its affiliates, attorneys and accountants, or to
any potential investor or acquiror of a substantial part of such party's
business (whether by merger, sale of assets, sale of stock or otherwise), or as
may be required by law and provided further that VeriFone may disclose the terms
of this Agreement to its suppliers of the Third Party Software under
confidentiality restrictions no less restrictive than those contained herein.
8. Indemnities and Exceptions.
8.1. VeriFone Indemnity. Subject to the provisions of this Section 8
and Section 9, VeriFone shall at its expense defend any action against Licensee
to the extent such action is based on a claim that the VeriFone Software
infringes any Berne Convention copyright or U.S. registered trademark or
misappropriates a trade secret as defined under the Uniform Trade Secret Law,
and VeriFone shall pay those damages and costs finally awarded against Licensee
in any such action which are specifically attributable to such claim, or those
damages and costs agreed in any monetary settlement or compromise of such
action. The foregoing obligations are conditioned on Licensee notifying VeriFone
promptly in writing of such action, Licensee giving VeriFone sole control of the
defense thereof (and any negotiations for monetary settlement or compromise
thereof), and Licensee cooperating in the defense thereof at VeriFone's expense.
If any version or component of the VeriFone Software becomes, or in VeriFone's
opinion is likely to become, the subject of a claim of infringement or
misappropriation, then Licensee shall permit VeriFone, at its option and
expense, to (a) procure the right to continue using such VeriFone Software; (b)
replace or modify such VeriFone Software so that it becomes non-infringing or no
longer misappropriates; or (c) accept return of such VeriFone Software and give
Licensee a credit for any license fees or royalties paid by Licensee for such
VeriFone Software less depreciation calculated as an equal amount per year over
a period of five (5) years from the date of initial delivery of such VeriFone
Software to Licensee, in which case Licensee's license to such VeriFone Software
will terminate in its entirety. Licensee shall not incur any costs or expenses
for the account of VeriFone under or pursuant to this Section 8.1 without
VeriFone's express prior written consent. THE FOREGOING STATES THE ENTIRE
LIABILITY OF VERIFONE FOR INFRINGEMENT AND MISAPPROPRIATION CLAIMS AND
9
ACTIONS.
8.2. Certain Exceptions; Licensee Indemnity. VeriFone shall have no
liability to Licensee under Section 8.1 or otherwise for any action or claim
alleging infringement or misappropriation based upon (a) any use of the VeriFone
Software or the Third-Party Software in a manner other than as specified by
VeriFone; (b) any use of the VeriFone Software as embedded in the VeriSmart
Application(s) or in combination with any other products, equipment, devices,
software, systems or data not supplied by VeriFone; (c) the VeriSmart
Applications, (d) Licensee's trademarks; or (e) any alteration, modification or
customization of the VeriFone Software or the Third- Party Software by any
person other than VeriFone or its authorized subcontractors or agents. In the
event of an infringement or misappropriation action or claim against VeriFone
that is based on any of the circumstances or conduct described in the preceding
sentence, Licensee shall at its own expense defend such action or claim, and
Licensee shall pay any and all damages and costs finally awarded against
VeriFone in connection with such action or claim, or those damages and costs
agreed in any monetary settlement or compromise of such action, provided that
VeriFone notifies Licensee promptly in writing of such action or claim, VeriFone
gives Licensee sole control of the defense thereof (and any negotiations for
settlement or compromise thereof), and VeriFone cooperates in the defense
thereof at Licensee's expense. VeriFone shall not incur any costs or expenses
for the account of Licensee under or pursuant to this Section 8.2 without
Licensee's express prior written consent.
9. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.
VERIFONE'S AGGREGATE LIABILITY IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, THE
VERIFONE SOFTWARE AND THE SERVICES PROVIDED BY VERIFONE HEREUNDER, REGARDLESS OF
THE FORM OF ACTION GIVING RISE TO SUCH LIABILITY (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR
OTHERWISE), AND INCLUDING ANY LIABILITY UNDER SECTION 6 AND SECTION 8, SHALL NOT
EXCEED THE AGGREGATE FEES PAID BY LICENSEE TO VERIFONE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.
VERIFONE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY FAILURE OF THE VERIFONE SOFTWARE OR THE
THIRD- PARTY SOFTWARE TO PROVIDE SECURITY. VERIFONE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY
CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, EXEMPLARY, SPECIAL, OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND
(INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOST PROFITS), EVEN IF VERIFONE HAS BEEN ADVISED
OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN SECTION 8 (BUT ONLY TO
THE EXTENT OF AND SUBJECT TO THE LIMITATIONS IN SECTION 8), VERIFONE SHALL NOT
BE LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIMS OF THIRD PARTIES RELATING TO THE VERIFONE SOFTWARE,
THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE OR THE SERVICES PROVIDED BY VERIFONE HEREUNDER; AND
LICENSEE SHALL DEFEND VERIFONE FROM, AND INDEMNIFY AND HOLD VERIFONE HARMLESS
AGAINST, ALL SUCH CLAIMS. THE FOREGOING STATES VERIFONE'S ENTIRE LIABILITY WITH
REGARD TO THIS AGREEMENT. THESE LIMITATIONS OF VERIFONE'S LIABILITY ARE A
FUNDAMENTAL PART OF THE BASIS OF VERIFONE'S BARGAIN, AND VERIFONE WOULD NOT
ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT ABSENT SUCH LIMITATIONS. LICENSEE DISCLAIMS ALL
LIABILITY OF ANY KIND OF ANY VERIFONE SUPPLIER IN CONNECTION WITH THIS
AGREEMENT.

11. General.
11.1. Governing Law. This Agreement shall for all purposes be governed
by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of California as
those laws are applied to contracts entered into and performed entirely in
California by California residents. The United Nations Convention on Contracts
for the International Sale of Goods
12
does not apply to this Agreement.
11.2. Export Control. The VeriFone Software and the Third-Party
Software is subject to the export control laws of the United States. Licensee
must, and shall cause all of its subdistributors to, (i) comply with all
applicable export statutes and regulations, (ii) require each End User to use
the VeriFone Software in accordance with all applicable export control laws,
statutes and regulations, and (iii) not permit any other third party to use the
VeriFone Software in violation of such export control laws, statutes and
regulations. Licensee acknowledges that even if VeriFone consents to the use of
the VeriFone Software or the Third-Party Software outside the United States, (a)
Licensee may be required to obtain an export license prior to the export or
re-export, directly or indirectly, of the VeriFone Software or the Third-Party
Software, or any direct product of the use thereof, or (b) export or re-export
to certain countries may be prohibited. Licensee agrees to indemnify and hold
VeriFone and its suppliers harmless from any claims arising from any breach of
this Section by Licensee or any of its directors, officers, employees,
subdistributors, customers or any third party to whom Licensee provides access
to the VeriFone Software or the Third-Party Software.
11.3. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held by a
court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable for any reason, the
remaining provisions hereof shall be unaffected and remain in full force and
effect, unless the unenforceable provisions are of such essential importance to
this Agreement that it is to be reasonably assumed that the parties would not
have entered into this Agreement without such provisions.
11.4. Modifications. Any modification, amendment, supplement, or other
change to this Agreement must be in writing and signed by duly authorized
representatives of VeriFone and Licensee. As used herein, the term "Agreement"
shall include any such future modifications, amendments, supplements or other
changes hereto.
11.5. Assignments. No right or obligation of Licensee under this
Agreement shall be assigned, delegated or otherwise transferred, whether by
agreement, operation of law or otherwise without the express prior written
consent of VeriFone and any attempt to assign, delegate or otherwise transfer
any of Licensee's rights or obligations hereunder, without such consent, shall
be void. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall bind each party
and its permitted successors and assigns.
11.6. Waivers. All waivers must be in writing. The failure of either
party to insist upon strict performance of any provision of this Agreement, or
to exercise any right provided for herein, shall not be deemed to be a waiver
for the future of such provision or right, and no waiver of any provision or
right shall affect the right of the waiving party to enforce any other provision
or right herein.
11.7. Equitable Remedies. The parties agree that any breach of Sections
1, 3 or 7 would cause irreparable injury for which no adequate remedy at law
exists; therefore, the parties agree that equitable remedies, including without
limitation injunctive relief and specific performance, are appropriate remedies
to redress any breach or threatened breach of such Sections, in addition to all
other remedies available to the parties.
11.8. Rights and Remedies. All rights and remedies hereunder shall be
cumulative, may be exercised singularly or concurrently, and shall not be deemed
exclusive except as provided above. If any legal action is brought to enforce
any obligations hereunder, the prevailing party shall be entitled to receive its
attorneys' fees, court costs and other collection expenses, in addition to any
other relief it may receive.
11.9. Force Majeure. Neither party shall be held liable or responsible
to the other party nor be deemed to have defaulted under or breached this
Agreement for failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any term of this
Agreement to the extent, and for so long as, such failure or delay is caused by
or results from causes beyond the reasonable control of the affected party
including, but not limited, to any act of God, fire, natural disaster, accident,
war, insurrections, riots, civil commotion, strikes, lockouts or other labor
disturbances, or any acts, omissions, delays in acting by any government
authority or the other party, or the inability of VeriFone, despite its
reasonable efforts, to obtain any United States export license or other approval
or authorization of the United States government for the
13
performance by VeriFone of its obligations hereunder. The preceding sentence
shall not apply when the outstanding obligation by either party is payment for
any money due to the other party.
11.10. Construction. The headings and subheadings contained herein
shall not be considered a part of this Agreement. This Agreement may be executed
in several counterparts, all of which shall constitute one agreement.
11.11. Notices. Any notice or communication permitted or required
hereunder shall be in writing and shall be delivered in person or by courier or
sent by electronic facsimile (fax), and addressed as set forth after the
signatures to this Agreement or to such other address as shall be given in
accordance with this Section 11.11. All notices hereunder shall be effective
upon receipt.
11.12. Relationship Between Parties. VeriFone and Licensee shall at all
times and for all purposes be deemed to be independent contractors and neither
party, nor either party's employees, subcontractors or agents, shall have the
right or power to bind the other party. This Agreement shall not create or be
deemed to create a joint venture, partnership or other similar association
between VeriFone and Licensee or any of either party's employees, subcontractors
or agents.
11.13. Precedence Over Purchase Order Terms. Any additional or
different terms of Licensee's purchase order and/or acknowledgment form, whether
or not such terms materially alter this Agreement, shall be deemed objected to
by VeriFone unless this Agreement is expressly amended by the parties hereto.
Execution of Licensee's purchase order shall not operate as an amendment to this
Agreement. Whenever printed, typed, stamped or written provisions of Licensee's
purchase order conflict with this Agreement, this Agreement shall control.
11.14. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire
agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and
supersedes all prior agreements between the parties, whether written or oral,
relating to the same subject matter.
In Witness Whereof, the parties hereto, by their duly authorized
representatives, have executed and delivered this Agreement.
