Maintenance and support terms for the Server Device and/or Client Device(s) are outside the scope of this EULA and are covered separately in the Limited Hardware Warranty documentation available online for download in the Support section of NComputing’s website at: ncomputing.com.
- TERM AND TERMINATION. This EULA will remain in effect until terminated. Unauthorized copying of the Software or failure to comply with the terms of this EULA will result in automatic termination of this EULA and all licenses granted herein, and will make available to NComputing other legal remedies. This EULA and all licenses granted herein will automatically terminate if You go into liquidation, suffer or make any winding up petition, make an arrangement with Your creditors, or suffer or file any similar action in any jurisdiction in consequence of debt.

This Limited Warranty shall not apply (i) if you make any unauthorized modifications to the Software, or misuse, abuse of the Software; (ii) if you use the Software for purposes other than its intended use; or (ii) if you violate any terms and conditions of this EULA. NComputing and its suppliers make no warranties, and provide no remedies, in connection with any defects discovered after the ninety-day Limited Warranty period.
EXCEPT FOR THE LIMITED WARRANTY PROVIDED ABOVE, THE SOFTWARE, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE INCORPORATED THEREIN OR PROVIDED THEREWITH, AND ANY ACCOMPANYING DOCUMENTATION, ARE PROVIDED “AS IS”.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE WARRANTIES EXPRESSLY STATED HEREIN ARE EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, WHETHER IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, NON-INFRINGEMENT, TITLE, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR SATISFACTORY QUALITY, WHICH NCOMPUTING SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS, FOR ITSELF AND ON BEHALF OF ITS SUPPLIERS, TOGETHER WITH ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE IN TRADE. NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, OBTAINED FROM NCOMPUTING OR ELSEWHERE SHALL CREATE ANY WARRANTY NOT EXPRESSLY STATED IN THIS AGREEMENT.
SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE DISCLAIMER OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THE DISCLAIMER OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU, IN WHICH CASE THE DURATION OF ANY SUCH IMPLIED WARRANTIES SHALL BE LIMITED TO NINETY (90) DAYS FROM THE DATE YOU PURCHASED OR RECEIVED THE SOFTWARE; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT IN SUCH CASE NCOMPUTING’S OR ITS SUPPLIERS’ SOLE LIABILITY AND YOUR EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR BREACH OF SUCH IMPLIED WARRANTIES SHALL IN ANY CASE BE, AT NCOMPUTING’S OPTION, (i) TO REPAIR OR REPLACE THE SOFTWARE TO CONFORM IT TO SUCH APPLICABLE WARRANTY, OR (ii) TO TERMINATE THIS EULA AND RETURN THE AMOUNT PAID, IF ANY, BY YOUFOR THE AFFECTED SOFTWARE.

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT PERFORMANCE OF THE SOFTWARE MAY VARY DEPENDING ON THE SERVER DEVICE, CLIENT DEVICE, THE SOFTWARE PROGRAMS RUNNING ON THE FOREGOING (INCLUDING THE SOFTWARE), AND THE BANDWIDTH AND CONFIGURATION OF THE NETWORK CONNECTING THEM. SINCE ALL CLIENT DEVICES SHARE THE SERVER DEVICE’S RESOURCES, A CLIENT DEVICE’S PERFORMANCE MAY DECREASE IF THE SERVER DEVICE’S PROCESSOR(S) OR OTHER RESOURCES BECOME OVERLOADED AS MORE CLIENT DEVICES ARE CONNECTED TO THE SERVER DEVICE OR IF A USER RUNS RESOURCE INTENSIVE APPLICATIONS.
- LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.

If, however, subpart (5) or subpart (6) is found to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, then if NComputing so elects, the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void, and neither Customer nor NComputing shall be entitled to arbitrate their dispute.
