15.3 The limited warranty provided in Clause 15.1 extends only to the CLIENT. This warranty does not apply if the Services and/or the Telupay System:
(a) have been altered, except by the SERVICE PROVIDER;
(b) have not been installed, operated, repaired, or maintained by and in accordance with instructions supplied by the SERVICE PROVIDER; or
(c) have been subjected to abnormal physical or electrical stress, misuse, negligence, or accident on the part of the CLIENT and/or agents, employees, representatives or customers.
Neither would the warranty in Clause 15.1 cover failures or errors arising from or caused by CLIENT- or third-party supplied hardware, software, and/or third party services, or when the CLIENT fails to comply with its obligations under Clause 9.1, or when the Equipment fails to meet the Recommended System Requirements, or any other event analogous to the foregoing which will render it impossible for the SERVICE PROVIDER to warrant its system and/or to perform its scope of services under the Agreement.
15.4 The CLIENT acknowledges that it is the responsibility of the CLIENT to ensure that the facilities and functions described in the Scope of Service meet its requirements. The SERVICE PROVIDER shall not be liable for any failure of the Telupay System to provide any facility or function not specified in the Scope of Service.
15.5 Without prejudice to the express provisions of the Service Level Agreement and unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, the SERVICE PROVIDER shall not accept responsibility for any loss or damage, however caused (including through negligence), which the CLIENT may directly or indirectly suffer in connection with the Services or its use of the Telupay System to include updates, patches or enhancements to the same, maintenance and support services (if any), and any other items, deliverables, or information supplied by or in behalf of the SERVICE PROVIDER in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and neither shall the SERVICE PROVIDER accept any responsibility for any such loss arising out of and/or use of or reliance on any material or information contained on or accessed through the Telupay System and/or Services.
15.6 Save as expressly set out in Clause 15.1, the Services are provided on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, statutory or otherwise. The SERVICE PROVIDER does not make any representation or warranty about the accuracy, character, quality, timeliness, promptness or the performance of the Services, or any products or services obtained through the any of the same, including but not limited to the warranties of non-infringement of third party rights, title, merchantability, satisfactory quality, fitness for a particular purpose and freedom from computer virus or malware. All terms that may be excluded are excluded to the fullest extent permitted under all applicable law.
15.7 To the extent permitted by applicable law, any condition or warranty that would otherwise be implied into this Agreement is hereby excluded. Where applicable law implies any condition or warranty, and that applicable law prohibits the SERVICE PROVIDER from excluding or modifying the application of, or the SERVICE PROVIDER's liability under, any such condition or warranty, that condition or warranty will be deemed included.
15.8 Except for causes which may be directly or indirectly attributable to the fault or negligence of the SERVICE PROVIDER, the CLIENT hereby accepts sole responsibility for any damage to its computer equipment and any loss of data resulting from accessing and/or the downloading of or use of any of the Services.
15.9 The disclaimers set out in this Clause 15, do not attempt or purport to exclude liability arising under applicable law if, and to the extent, such liability cannot be lawfully excluded. Nothing in this Agreement shall exclude or limit SERVICE PROVIDER's warranty or liability for losses which may not be lawfully excluded or limited by applicable law. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or conditions or the limitation or exclusion of liability for loss or damage caused by negligence, breach of contract or breach of implied terms, or incidental or consequential damages. Accordingly, only the limitations which are lawful in the appropriate jurisdiction will apply and SERVICE PROVIDER's liability will be limited to the extent as may be allowed by law.
16. Restrictions.
16.1 Reservation of Rights. This Agreement is for SERVICES only, thus the SERVICE PROVIDER reserves all rights not expressly granted to the CLIENT in this Agreement.

In the event of such material breach, SERVICE PROVIDER shall have the absolute right and full discretion to immediately, without need of any notice, stop and terminate the useability, use and/or access by such unauthorized third parties and/or to immediately rescind this Agreement upon written notice sent to CLIENT without need of any court intervention. SERVICE PROVIDER shall not be liable to CLIENT or to its affiliates, officers, employees, customers or any third party for any damages that may result from the exercise of the said right. Additionally in the said situation, the CLIENT hereby constitutes, designates and appoints the SERVICE PROVIDER, its representatives, delegates or assigns, as its attorney-in-fact and the SERVICE PROVIDER as such attorney-in-fact shall have the right with full power and authority to undertake any and all actions necessary to prevent any further unauthorized use of the Services and/or the unauthorized disclosure of the TELUPAY Confidential Information and the CLIENT is deemed to have waived any objection, and further acknowledges and agrees that the SERVICE PROVIDER is entitled to an injunctive relief from the proper court of jurisdiction to restrain the CLIENT and/or the unauthorized user from further implementing or using the TELUPAY System or the TELUPAY Confidential Information.

16.8 Non-Competition clause. CLIENT shall not be concerned or interested either directly or indirectly in the development, manufacture, sale, distribution, dealership, promotion or marketing of any technology or services which compete with or are similar to the TELUPAY System, TELUPAY Mobile Banking Solution, TELUPAY Mobile Banking Services, TELUPAY Software, TELUPAY Documentation, and/or any licensed technology and/or any mobile or internet banking services provided by SERVICE PROVIDER during the lifetime of this Agreement and/or any renewal or extension thereof.

In the alternative and in the event of a duly established technical failure of the TELUPAY Software, which technical failure amounts to a Severity One level, as defined under the Service Level Agreement, and which technical failure likewise remains unresolved within the 30-day curative period provided in this Section, the CLIENT may, upon full payment to TELUPAY (M.E) of the License Fee of FIVE MILLION PESOS (Php5,000,000.00), acquire a perpetual, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and limited license to use and modify the TELUPAY Software for the exclusive purposes of undertaking the necessary corrective actions on the TELUPAY Software and of using the TELUPAY Software.

Upon its acquisition of such limited license, the CLIENT shall have the right to renegotiate the commercial terms of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.4 hereof. By acquiring the limited license provided in this Section, this Agreement shall continue and be deemed amended to the extent of such limited license and any renegotiated commercial terms duly agreed upon in writing by the Parties.
No technical failure shall be recognized as a technical failure of the TELUPAY Software or the TELUPAY Mobile Banking Solution if such failure is caused in whole or in part by CLIENT or third-party supplied hardware, software, and/or third party services, or when CLIENT fails to comply with its obligations under Clause 9.1 or when the Equipment fails to meet the Recommended System Requirements.
