Unless expressly agreed with Ki-Wi Digital, Ki-Wi Digital does not provide any support, maintenance or consultancy services to the Licensee.

Ki-Wi Digital will have no liability for any warranty claim, or any obligation to correct any defect or problem with the Software, to the extent that it arises out of: (i) any use of the Software not in accordance with Ki-Wi Digital’s instructions; (ii) any unauthorized modification or alteration of the Software; or (iii) any use of the Software in combination with any third-party software or hardware which was not consulted with Ki-Wi Digital and not approved by it; a list of approved hardware / software is available at docs.kiwisignage.com.
- Disclaimer. Except as expressly set forth in sections 2.1 and 2.2, all licensed software and other products, information and materials provided by Ki-Wi Digital are provided "as is." Ki-Wi Digital makes no warranties with respect to the Software or any other subject matter of the Agreement and hereby disclaims all other warranties, whether express, implied or statutory, including, but not limited to warranties of title, non-infringement, merchantability, satisfactory quality, fitness for a particular purpose (even if Ki-Wi Digital has been informed of such purpose), interoperability with any specific hardware, and all warranties arising from course of dealing, usage, or trade practice. without limiting the foregoing, Ki-Wi Digital makes no warranty of any kind that the licensed software, or any products or results of the use thereof, will meet licensee's or other persons' requirements, operate without interruption, achieve any intended result, be compatible or work with any software, systems, or other services, or be secure, accurate, complete, free of harmful code and defect or be error free.

- Scope of Limitation. The limitations, exclusions and disclaimers contained in the Agreement are independent of any agreed remedy specified in the Agreement and will apply to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, even if any agreed remedy is found to have failed of its essential purpose.

- Right to defence. To the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, Ki-Wi Digital Entities reserve the right, at their own expense, to assume the exclusive defence and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by Licensee (without limiting Licensee’s indemnification obligations with respect to that matter), and in that case, Licensee agrees to cooperate with the respective Ki-Wi Digital Entity’s defence of that claim. Licensee will not enter into any settlement agreement in any Claim related to or concerning a Ki-Wi Digital Entity without a prior written consent of the Ki-Wi Digital Entity unless such settlement provides the Ki-Wi Digital Entity with a complete release without imposing any additional costs or obligations and does not require admission of guilt or liability by the Ki-Wi Digital Entity. In addition to the foregoing, Ki-Wi Digital reserves its right to remove or block any content from the Software in case of any raised or a possibility of a Claim.
VI. Termination

Termination of the Agreement or any Software licenses shall not prevent either party from pursuing all available legal remedies, nor shall such termination relieve Licensee's obligation to pay all fees that are owed as of the effective date of termination. All provisions of the Agreement relating to Ki-Wi Digital’s ownership of the Software, limitations of liability, disclaimers of warranties, confidentiality (for the time periods specified in the Agreement), waiver, audit, governing law and jurisdiction, in addition to any other provisions of the Agreement that would normally survive termination, shall survive termination of the Agreement for any reason.
