EchoTrail’s sole and exclusive liability (and Licensor’s sole and exclusive remedy) for any breach of this warranty will be, in EchoTrail’s sole discretion: (a) to use commercially reasonable efforts to provide an error-correction or work-around that corrects the reported non-conformity, or (b) if EchoTrail determines such remedy to be impractical within a reasonable period of time, to refund any Fees (as designated in an Order) prepaid by Licensor to EchoTrail for the EchoTrail Service that are allocable to the period during which the EchoTrail Service was not in conformity with this warranty. EchoTrail will have no obligation with respect to a warranty claim unless notified of such claim in writing within the Term.

ECHOTRAIL DOES NOT AND CANNOT WARRANT THAT ANY DATA IS COMPLETE, ACCURATE, OR CURRENT. IN ADDITION, THE COMPONENTS, ALGORITHMS, AND MACHINE LEARNING UNDERLYING AND CONSTITUTING THE BASIS FOR ANY DATA ARE FREQUENTLY CHANGING AND ECHOTRAIL DOES NOT WARRANT THAT ANY DATA ARE CORRECT OR COMPLETE. ECHOTRAIL DOES NOT WARRANT THAT ACCESS TO THE ECHOTRAIL SERVICE WILL BE CONTINUOUS OR UNINTERRUPTED, MEET LICENSOR’S REQUIREMENTS, ACHIEVE ANY INTENDED RESULT, OR BE COMPATIBLE OR WORK WITH ANY OTHER GOODS, SERVICES, TECHNOLOGIES, INFORMATION, MATERIALS OR OTHER MATTER (INCLUDING ANY SOFTWARE, HARDWARE, FIRMWARE, SYSTEM OR NETWORK), OR BE SECURE, ACCURATE, COMPLETE, OR ERROR FREE. ALL OPEN-SOURCE SOFTWARE AND OTHER THIRD-PARTY MATERIALS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS”.

THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS APPLY EVEN IF ANY REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

    14.3. EXCEPTIONS.

  15. Open Source Software and Third-Party Software. The API may contain or be provided with components subject to the terms and conditions of third-party proprietary licenses (“Third-Party Software”) or free/libre and open source software licenses (“Open Source Software”). All Open Source Software that is distributed as part of the API is disclosed in the API’s source code.

  16. Equitable Relief. Licensor acknowledges that breach by it of one or more of its obligations under Sections 5 (License Conditions) or 12 (Confidential Information) will cause EchoTrail to suffer immediate and irreparable harm for which money damages would be an inadequate remedy. Therefore, Licensor agrees that if it breaches one or more of its obligations under Sections 5 (License Conditions) or 12 (Confidential Information), EchoTrail will be entitled to equitable relief as well as any additional relief that may be appropriate.

  17. Governing Law. For any action relating to the Agreement, Licensor agrees to the following governing law and exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the state and federal courts sitting in the State of Colorado, City and County of Denver.

To the extent that the UCITA is applicable, the parties agree to opt out of the applicability of the UCITA pursuant to the opt-out provisions therein.

    19.2. Force Majeure. Neither party will be liable to the other for any delay or failure to perform any obligation under the Agreement (except for a failure to pay Fees) if the delay or failure is due to events which are beyond the reasonable control of such party, including but not limited to any strike, blockade, war, act of terrorism, riot, natural disaster, failure or diminishment of power or of telecommunications or data networks or services, or refusal of approval or a license by a government agency.

    19.3. Relationship. The Parties are independent contractors. There is no relationship of licensorship, joint venture, employment, franchise or agency created hereby between the Parties. Neither Party will have the power to bind the other or incur obligations on the other Party’s behalf without the other Party’s prior written consent.

    19.4. English Language. Licensor acknowledges that any translation of the English language version of the Agreement provided by EchoTrail to Licensor is provided for Licensor’s convenience only, and that the English language version of the Agreement will take precedence over the translation in the event of any contradiction arising from translation.
