ControlPAK further warrants that it has not introduced into the Software any feature designed to damage or erase the Software or data. The Software may contain license protection features that limit access to the Software to the use permitted under this Agreement. Customer shall not circumvent or render inoperative any such protection features. To be valid, a warranty claim must be in writing and submitted to ControlPAK within the Software Warranty Period. If, during the Software Warranty Period, Customer believes that the Software has defects, Customer shall promptly notify ControlPAK in writing, describe with specificity any such defect, and provide a listing of output and such other data as may be required by ControlPAK to reproduce the defect. Customer’s exclusive remedy and ControlPAK’s sole liability for Software performance under this software warranty will be: (1) to use reasonable efforts to correct any such defects and supply Customer with a Correction as soon as reasonably practicable, or (2) if Correction or replacement is not reasonably achievable by ControlPAK, to terminate Customer’s License(s) for the affected Software and refund the License Fee paid, if any, upon Customer’s certification that all copies of the Software have been returned or destroyed.

Each Party, upon the discovery of a credible security threat from a malicious actor that could threaten the security and integrity of the other Party’s network, may immediately disconnect any remote connections to the other Party’s network until such time as the threat has been eradicated and recovery and restoration is at an acceptable level as determined by mutual agreement of the parties.
