  5. Free trial. If Customer registers for a trial, Customer may access the Service free of charge for 14 days. The Service is provided ‘as is’ with no warranty during the trial. All Customer data will be deleted at the end of the trial unless Customer purchases the Service.

 

3. Warranty

  1. Service warranty. Ziflow will use commercially reasonable efforts to make the Service available in accordance with the Support & Service Levels located at http://www.ziflow.com/service-support-levels, subject to: (a) planned downtime (for which Ziflow will give at least 8 hours’ notice and which Ziflow will schedule to the extent reasonably practicable during weekends; (b) any unavailability caused by circumstances beyond Ziflow’s reasonable control, including acts of God, acts of government, lightning, flood, exceptionally severe weather, fire, earthquakes, explosions, war, civil unrest, acts of terror, acts or omissions of local or central government or other competent authorities; and computer, telecommunications, Internet service provider or hosting facility failures or delays involving hardware, software or power systems not within Ziflow’s possession or reasonable control, and denial of service attacks; or (c) legal or regulatory restrictions imposed on Ziflow which prevent Ziflow from providing the Service, provided that if any such restrictions are imposed on Ziflow, Ziflow will give Customer notice of such restriction as soon as reasonably practicable and to the extent that it is legally entitled to do so.
  2. Deployment Services warranty. Ziflow warrants that for a period of 30 days from delivery, it has performed the Deployment Services in conformance with generally accepted practices within the software services industry. Customer must notify Ziflow of any breach of this warranty no later than 30 days after delivery of the Deployment Services. Customer’s exclusive remedy and Ziflow’s entire liability under this warranty will be for Ziflow to re-perform any non-conforming portion of the Deployment Services, or if Ziflow cannot remedy the breach, then to refund that part of the fees attributable to such non-conforming portion of the Deployment Services. This warranty will not apply to the extent that Customer, its contractors or agents have modified any item.
  3. General warranty. Ziflow warrants to Customer for the term of the Contract that: (i) the functionality or features of the Service may change but will not materially decrease; and (ii) the customer support for the Service may change but will not materially degrade. While Ziflow takes reasonable physical, technical and administrative measures to secure the Service, Ziflow does not warrant or represent that the Service cannot be compromised. Customer understands that the Service may not be error free and that use may be interrupted.
  4. Disclaimer. Except as expressly set out in these Terms of Service Ziflow disclaims all representations, warranties and conditions of any kind whether express or implied by statute (including any implied warranty as to quality or merchantability, accuracy and fitness for a particular purpose), common law or otherwise to the maximum extent permitted at law.

 

4. Payment

  1. Customer is responsible for payment of all fees specified in the order. Payment must be made within seven (7) days from the date of an invoice.

The Recipient must make commercially reasonable efforts to limit access to Confidential Information of Discloser to those of its employees and contractors who need such access for purposes consistent with the Contract and provided that Discloser has in place an agreement with confidentiality obligations no less protective than those in this section 6.
  3. Exclusions. Confidential Information excludes information that: (i) is or becomes generally known to the public without breach of any obligation owed to Discloser, (ii) was known to the Recipient prior to its disclosure by the Discloser without breach of any obligation owed to the Discloser, (iii) is received from a third party without breach of any obligation owed to Discloser, or (iv) was independently developed by the Recipient without use or access to the Confidential Information.
