Notices, Disclaimers and Terms of Use 

1. Limited Product Warranty 

Homeland Security Technology Corporation (“HSTC”) warrants to 

the Client that the Products shall substantially conform to HSTC's specification for a period of one 
(1) year from the date of the original purchase by the end user (the "Warranty Period").  As HSTC's 
sole obligation and Client's exclusive remedy for any breach of warranty, HSTC agrees, at its sole 
option, to (i) use reasonable efforts to repair the Product with new or refurbished replacement parts: 
(ii) replace the Product with a new or refurbished unit; or (iii) refund the purchase price, provided 
Client returns the defective Products to HSTC with proof of purchase and HSTC's authorization. 

 

HSTC's warranty hereunder does not apply in case of any damage caused by accident, abuse, 
misuse, misapplication, or alternation of any kind performed by anyone other than HSTC.  The 
Products are not designed or licensed for use in mission-critical application or in hazardous 
environment requiring fail-safe controls, including without limitation operation of nuclear facilities, 
aircraft navigation or communication systems, air traffic control, and life support or weapons 
systems.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, HSTC specifically disclaims any express 
or implied warranty or condition of fitness for such purposes.  HSTC's warranty does not in any 
event apply to physical damage to the surface of the Product, or to replacement. HSTC shall have 
no obligation with respect to any data stored in the Product.  

 

Except as expressly provided in this section, HSTC makes no warranties or includes any conditions 
with respect to the products, express or implied, including, but not limited to, the implied warranties 
or conditions of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and no infringement. 

 

2. Liability Limitation 

In no event shall HSTC be liable to Client for, and Client hereby waives any 

indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages connection with the transactions 
contemplated by this agreement, whether or not such damages were foreseen or their likelihood 
disclosed.  HSTC shall not be liable to Client or any third party claiming through Client, for any 
damages of any kind in excess of the amounts paid by Client under the terms of this agreement 
with respect to the products giving rise to such damages.  Some jurisdictions do not allow the 
exclusion of or limitation on implied conditions, warranties, or damages, so some of the foregoing 
may not apply to Client. 

 

3. Intellectual Property Rights

  

Hardware and Software are proprietary to HSTC or its suppliers 

and are subject to copyright and other intellectual property laws.  Client's only rights with respect to 
any HSTC software included with the Products shall be provided under the terms of HSTC's 
software license.  Title to all HSTC Software remains with HSTC.  Client agrees that HSTC retains 
ownership of all rights, title, and interest in all intellectual property, works of authorship, trade 
secrets and the like in all aspects of the Products.  Client and its affiliates and subcontractors agree 
not to reverse engineer any aspect of the Software and/or Products supplied under this agreement 
and further agree to pay assessed damages should such action take place.
