Kana determines that Customer has failed to comply with any of the terms and

9. Limited Warranty and Disclaimer. Kana warrants that, for a period of
-------------------------------
ninety (90) days from the date of installation of the Software, (a) the Software
will perform substantially in accordance with the accompanying printed
materials, and (b) the medium upon which the Software is provided by Kana to
Customer shall be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal
use. This warranty covers only problems reported to Kana during the warranty
period. WARRANTY DISCLAIMER: EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY STATED HEREIN, THE SOFTWARE IS
PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING,
BUT NOT LIMITED TO, WARRANTIES OF PERFORMANCE OR MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR
A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NONINFRINGEMENT. CUSTOMER BEARS ALL RISK RELATING TO
QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE SOFTWARE. The performance of the Software varies
with various manufacturers' equipment with which it is used. Kana does not
warrant that the Software or the functions contained in the Software will meet
Customer's requirements, operate without interruption or be error free.
Customer's exclusive remedy for breach by Kana of its limited warranty set forth
above shall be replacement of any defective Software or medium upon its return
to Kana within the warranty period, or if Kana is unable to provide a
replacement which is free of defect, refund of the license fee paid by Customer.
10. Limitation of Remedies and Damages. ANY LIABILITY OF KANA WILL BE LIMITED
----------------------------------
TO PRODUCT REPLACEMENT OR, IF REPLACEMENT IS INADEQUATE OR IN KANA'S OPINION
IMPRACTICAL, TO REFUND OF THE LICENSE FEE. KANA SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE OR
LIABLE WITH RESPECT TO ANY SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT OR TERMS AND
CONDITIONS RELATED THERETO UNDER ANY CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR
OTHER THEORY (A) FOR LOSS OR INACCURACY OF DATA OR COST OF PROCUREMENT OF
SUBSTITUTE GOODS, SERVICES OR TECHNOLOGY, OR (B) FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF REVENUES, LOSS OF
PROFITS, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOSS OR INACCURACY OF DATA OR COST OF
PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS, ARISING OUT OF THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE
THE SOFTWARE, EVEN IF KANA HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
IN NO EVENT WILL KANA'S LIABILITY EXCEED THE AMOUNT PAID BY CUSTOMER FOR THE
SOFTWARE. KANA SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY MATTER BEYOND ITS REASONABLE
CONTROL. Because some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of
liability of consequential or incidental damages, the above limitation may not
apply.
11. Government Use.
--------------
If Customer is a unit or agency of the government, or acquiring the Software
with government funds, the software and documentation are provided subject to
Kana's standard commercial license; provided, however, that any contracts with
non-defense agencies subject to the FAR, the Government shall have the rights
set forth in subparagraph (c) of FAR 52.227-19, "Commercial Computer Software-
Restricted Rights," as applicable.
12. Nonassignability. Neither the rights nor the obligations arising under
----------------
this Agreement are
Page 3 of 4
assignable or transferable by Customer, and any such attempted assignment or
transfer shall be void and without effect.
13. Execution of Agreement, Controlling Law, Attorneys' Fee. This Agreement
-------------------------------------------------------
shall become effective as of the Effective Date and only upon its execution by
both Kana and Customer. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of California without regard to the
conflicts of law provisions thereof and without regard to the United Nations
Convention on the International Sales of Goods. In any action to enforce this
Agreement the prevailing party will be entitled to costs and attorneys' fees.
14. Equitable Relief. Customer acknowledges and agrees that due to the unique
----------------
nature of Kana's Proprietary Information, there can be no adequate remedy at law
for any breach of its obligations hereunder, that any such breach may allow
Customer or third parties to unfairly compete with Kana resulting in irreparable
harm to Kana and, therefore, that upon any such breach or threat thereof, Kana
shall be entitled to injunctions and other appropriate equitable relief, in
addition to whatever remedies it may have at law.
15. Notice. Any notice, report, approval or consent required or permitted
------
hereunder shall be in writing and will be deemed to have been effectively given:
(i) immediately upon personal delivery or facsimile transmission to the parties
to be notified, (ii) one (1) day after deposit with a commercial overnight
courier with tracking capabilities, or (iii) three (3) days after deposit with
the United States Postal Service, by registered or certified mail, postage
prepaid to the respective addresses of the parties as set forth above.
16. Waiver. The waiver by either party of a breach of this Agreement or any
------
right hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach of this
Agreement; nor shall any delay by either party to exercise any right under this
Agreement operate as a waiver of any such right. If any provision of this
Agreement shall be adjudged by any court of competent jurisdiction to be
unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the
minimum extent necessary so that this Agreement shall otherwise remain in full
force and effect and enforceable.
17. BASIS OF BARGAIN. EACH PARTY RECOGNIZES AND AGREES THAT THE WARRANTY
----------------
DISCLAIMERS AND LIABILITY AND REMEDY LIMITATIONS IN THIS AGREEMENT ARE MATERIAL
BARGAINED FOR BASES OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THAT THEY HAVE BEEN TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT
AND REFLECTED IN DETERMINING THE CONSIDERATION TO BE GIVEN BY EACH PARTY UNDER
THIS AGREEMENT AND IN THE DECISION BY EACH PARTY TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT.
18. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between
----------------
the parties hereto related to the subject matter hereof, and any and all written
or oral agreements, except for any Nondisclosure Agreements or Beta Test
Agreements, heretofore existing between the parties hereto, are expressly
cancelled. Any modifications of this Agreement must be in writing and signed by
both parties hereto.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement as of the
Effective Date.
