CANON DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE FUNCTIONS CONTAINED IN THE LICENSED SOFTWARE WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS OR THAT THE OPERATION OF THE LICENSED SOFTWARE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR FREE.

If the Licensed Software is provided in a medium, such as a CD-ROM, Canon warrants the medium on which the Licensed Software is stored to be free from defects in materials and workmanship under normal use for a period of ninety (90) days from the date when you obtained the same as evidenced by a receipt or by other means acceptable to Canon.

CUSTOMER REMEDIES.  Canon and its licensors' entire liability and your exclusive remedy shall be the replacement of the medium not meeting the LIMITED WARRANTY and which is returned to Canon's local sales subsidiary operating in the country where you obtained the Licensed Software with a copy of the receipt or by other means acceptable to Canon.  The LIMITED WARRANTY does not apply if failure of the medium has resulted from accident, abuse or misapplication of the Licensed Software and shall not extend to anyone other than the original user of the Licensed Software.

7. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES.  THE LIMITED WARRANTY THAT APPEARS ABOVE IS THE ONLY WARRANTY MADE TO YOU AND IT IS PROVIDED IN LIEU OF ALL WARRANTIES, CONDITIONS, REPRESENTATIONS, UNDERTAKINGS, TERMS AND OBLIGATIONS IMPLIED BY STATUTE, COMMON LAW, TRADE USAGE, COURSE OF DEALING OR OTHERWISE, ALL OF WHICH ARE HEREBY DISCLAIMED TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER CANON OR ITS LICENSORS BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL SPECIAL OR OTHER DAMAGES WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF BUSINESS PROFITS, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION OR LOSS OF BUSINESS INFORMATION), WHETHER OR NOT CANON OR ANY LICENSOR HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THE ENTIRE LIABILITY OF CANON AND ANY OF ITS LICENSORS ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF THE AMOUNT ACTUALLY PAID BY YOU FOR THE CANON PRODUCT FOR WHICH THE LICENSED SOFTWARE IS DESIGNED OR FIVE US DOLLARS (US$5.00) OR THE EQUIVALENT AMOUNT IN THE RELEVANT LOCAL CURRENCY.

NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL AFFECT THE STATUTORY RIGHTS OF A CONSUMER.

Neither party shall have any remedy in respect of any statement made to it upon which it relied in entering into this Agreement (unless such statement was made fraudulently) and that party's only remedy shall be for breach of contract as provided for in this Agreement.

If at any time any part of this Agreement is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be wholly or partly illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect under the law of any jurisdiction that fact shall not affect or impair the legality, validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement.

The failure or delay of Canon in exercising any right, power or remedy under this Agreement shall not in any circumstance operate as a waiver of such right, power or remedy.
