This warranty does not apply to errors or malfunctions caused by (i) malfunction of Licensee’s equipment, (ii) software not licensed from Clearview, (iii) abnormal use or (iv) any other cause not directly attributable to Clearview.
  • Section 23.02 If during the warranty period, the licensee believes that the Software is not substantially performing in accordance with the Documentation, Licensee will immediately notify Clearview in writing and describe with specificity any such non-performance and will provide a listing of output and such other data as may be required by Clearview to reproduce the operating conditions as existed when non- performance occurred.
