Updates and support are provided with an initial period of one year from the commencement date of the order and possibly subsequent years (first period) chosen by the CUSTOMER at sign-up.

The Software is provided AS IS. This limited warranty extends only to CUSTOMER as the original USER. The CUSTOMER acknowledges that software, in general, is not free of errors and agrees that the existence of such shall not constitute a breach of this agreement. Software errors are defined for the purpose of this agreement as any error in the Software that substantially affects the Software’s performance.
In no event does 2c8 warrant that the Software is error-free or that CUSTOMER will be able to operate the Software without problems or interruptions. In the event that the CUSTOMER discovers an error and notifies 2c8 of such within three (3) calendar months of the delivery of the Software, 2c8 shall use reasonable endeavors to correct the error, provided that the error is not due to any modification, variation or addition to the Software not performed by 2c8 or by the incorrect use, abuse, or corruption of the Software or by use of the Software with other software or on equipment with which the Software is not compatible.
The above warranty DOES NOT apply to any beta software, any software made available for testing or demonstration purposes, any temporary software modules, or any software for which 2c8 does not receive payment of the Software price.

For those products, which include Software, 2c8 may cure an error by an error correction or avoidance action.

2c8 offers services where 2c8 agrees to install, maintain, and keep up to date any software required to run the service. Services offered under a hosting agreement include, but are not limited to 2c8 Portal, 2c8 Approve and 2c8 Server. 2c8 agrees to keep any data associated with hosted services secure and to protect its integrity and durability.
To provide the security required the CUSTOMER agrees to not inspect any traffic from the CUSTOMER’s network to the hosted service. This includes but is not limited to SSL Proxy mechanisms.

Such data includes, but is not limited to, usernames, user identifiers, passwords, and telephone numbers. Traffic sent from the CUSTOMER’s network to a hosted service will, in the case of inspection mechanisms, be sent through an untrusted third party, such as an SSL Proxy provider. 2c8 can therefore not guarantee that data sent by such means stay secret. 2c8 waives all responsibility for any and all data compromised after the first connection established via inspection mechanisms is made. Once an inspection mechanism has taken effect, any compromised data is entirely the responsibility of the CUSTOMER.
In order to provide the security required, 2c8 agrees to use industry-standard algorithms, key exchange mechanisms, and protocols, and to adhere to industry-standard best practices.
To provide data integrity and data durability, 2c8 agrees to continuously backup data stored in hosted services and to continuously test backup procedures to ensure that made backups are restorable.
