 Agile’s Specification Warranty

4.1  Agile warrants that for the Warranty Period, the Software will operate substantially in accordance with the published specifications for that Software. During the Warranty Period, if the Software does not operate substantially in accordance with the relevant specifications, then, subject to compliance with clauses 4.2 to 4.6 below, Agile will use commercially reasonable endeavours to either rectify the defect or provide a replacement of the relevant Software (or part of the Software) (“Agile’s Specification Warranty”).

4.2  To claim under Agile’s Specification Warranty, the Customer must notify the Distributor in writing of the defect. Agile has appointed the Distributor as its agent to be the first point of contact for the Customer for First and Second Level Support of the Software.

4.3  When notifying the Distributor of a defect under clause 4.2, the Customer will provide the Distributor with a documented example of such defect and as much information about the defect as practicable.

4.4  The Distributor (acting as Agile’s agent) will investigate the reported defect.

4.7  Unless the Customer has entered into a separate extended support agreement directly with Agile, and subject to clause 4.19, the obligations under clauses 4.4 and 4.5 will be Agile’s sole obligation, and the Customer’s sole remedy, in the event of defect, issue or problem with any Software or any failure of any of the Software to operate in accordance with the relevant specifications.

4.8  To the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, Agile makes no warranty that the operation of any Software or System will be completely error-free or uninterrupted, and the Customer acknowledges and agrees that the existence of such errors or interruptions will not constitute a breach of this EULA.

Additional guarantees under consumer laws

4.12  The New Zealand Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 and the Australian Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (including the Australian Consumer Law 2011), as well as other laws in those jurisdictions (“Consumer Law”), guarantee or imply certain conditions, warranties and undertakings, and give consumers other legal rights, in relation to the quality and fitness for purpose of certain products sold in New Zealand and Australia respectively.

4.13  For products sold in New Zealand, if the customer is in trade and acquiring the Software and System in trade, the customer agrees that the New Zealand Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 and sections 9, 12A, 13 and 14(a) of the Fair Trading Act 1986 will not apply, and that it is fair and reasonable that it is bound by the provisions of this clause.

4.14  For products sold in Australia, our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. You are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You are also entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure.

4.15  The benefits given by Agile’s Specification Warranty and Agile’s Infringement Warranty are in addition to any other rights and remedies the customer may have under the Consumer Law applicable to the purchase of the System or Software. Except as otherwise provided by Agile’s Specification Warranty and Agile’s Infringement Warranty above, all warranties, terms, conditions, guarantees or similar, other than those which cannot be excluded under applicable Consumer Law, are expressly excluded by Agile to the extent legally permitted.
