(a) Unless otherwise specified by Supplier in separate written product warranty accompanying any Hardware manufactured by Supplier (“Supplier Hardware”) (in which case such other product warranty term shall control), Supplier warrants to Customer that such Supplier Hardware will be free from defects in material and workmanship for one (1) year from the original delivery date of Supplier Hardware from Supplier to Customer (the “Warranty Period”). If, prior to the expiration of the Warranty Period, any Supplier Hardware fails to conform to this limited warranty and Customer informs Supplier in writing of such nonconformance, then Supplier will either (i) repair or replace the defective Supplier Hardware or (ii) in Supplier’s sole and exclusive discretion, refund the amount that Customer paid for such defective Supplier Hardware at time of original purchase, which amount shall pro-rated for Warranty Periods greater than one (1) year. Repair or replacement may be made with new or refurbished Supplier Hardware or component parts (at Supplier’s option) or, if Supplier no longer sells the applicable Supplier Hardware, with similar Hardware of like function. Customer shall bear the costs of access, de-installation, reinstallation and transportation of Supplier Hardware to Supplier and back to Customer. Any repair or replacement pursuant to this limited warranty shall not extend the Warranty Period. If Supplier provides services that are incidental to the sale of Supplier Hardware, such as installation, training and start-up (“Incidental Services”), Supplier warrants to Customer that it will perform the Incidental Services in a professional, workman-like manner. Supplier will re-perform any non-conforming Incidental Services for no charge, as long as Customer provides written notice to Supplier within five (5) days following completion of the Incidental Services. The limited remedies described herein are the sole and exclusive remedy and Supplier’s sole responsibility under this limited warranty.
(b) The foregoing limited warranty does not apply to (i) consumable hardware and components (e.g., batteries, filters, belts and kits); (ii) Supplier Hardware subjected to misuse, neglect, accident or improper installation; (iii) Supplier Hardware damaged by disaster (e.g., fire, flood, wind, earthquake or lightning) or other causes beyond the control of Supplier (e.g., excessive voltage, mechanical shock or water damage); (iv) Supplier Hardware whose defect has been caused by alteration or repair by anyone except Supplier or Supplier’s authorized representatives; (v) normal wear and tear; (vi) Hardware not manufactured by Supplier or bearing its nameplate (“Third-Party Hardware”); (vii) any Supplier Hardware manufactured or customized according to Customer’s specifications; (viii) Supplier Hardware that Customer cannot reasonably evidence have been stored, installed, operated, used or maintained other than in compliance with Supplier’s published specifications and instructions; (ix) Supplier Hardware purchased through other than a Supplier authorized channel; (x) any Software or Cloud Service (any such Software and Cloud Service being warranted under the terms of the applicable EULA, if any); and (xi) Supplier Hardware that is subject to a separate written warranty accompanying Supplier Hardware, included in the applicable Supplier Hardware documentation. Third-Party Hardware may be covered by warranties by other manufacturers, suppliers, or publishers, which Supplier may assign or pass through to Customer, without recourse to Supplier, to the extent allowable by the other manufacturers, suppliers or publishers.
(c) Customer must notify Supplier of any warranty claims and request a Return Material Authorization (“RMA”) by contacting Supplier within ten (10) days of the time when Customer discovers or ought to have discovered the defect.

Section 11. Indemnification
(a) At Supplier’s expense as described herein, Supplier shall indemnify, defend and hold Customer harmless from and against any claim that any Software or Cloud Service, or any part thereof, infringes a United States patent or copyright by defending against such claim and paying all amounts that a court finally awards or that Supplier agrees to in settlement of such claim. To qualify for such defense and payment, Customer must: (i) give Supplier prompt written notice of such claim; and (ii) allow Supplier to control, and fully cooperate with Supplier in, the defense and all related negotiations. Supplier’s obligation under this Section is conditional upon Customer’s agreement that, if the operation or use of the Software or Cloud Service becomes, or in Supplier’s opinion is likely to become, the subject of an infringement claim, then Customer shall permit Supplier, at Supplier’s expense, either to procure the right for Customer to continue to use the Software or Cloud Service, or to replace or modify the Software or Cloud Service so that it becomes non-infringing and retains substantially comparable function. If neither of the foregoing alternatives is reasonably available to Supplier, Supplier may terminate this Agreement (and the Usage Rights granted hereunder) with respect to the Software and/or Cloud Service and, upon its return to Supplier, Supplier shall refund to Customer the usage fees previously paid by Customer to Supplier for such Software or Cloud Service.
