charges be paid either on a collect basis or on Customer's account with the

or contain software provided to Derive by Customer, Customer agrees to
indemnify and hold Derive harmless from and against all liability, loss, damage

CUSTOMER FROM DERIVE THAT WERE MANUFACTURED, PRODUCED OR PROVIDED BY THIRD
PARTIES ("THIRD PARTY PRODUCTS") ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS"

If Customer discovers within the applicable warranty period a failure of the
Third Party Products to substantially conform to the specifications or a defect
in material or workmanship, Customer must promptly notify the manufacturer in
writing. Customer will look solely to the third party that manufactured,
produced or provided the Third Party Products for recovery on any claim of
liability, whether express or implied, and will hold Derive harmless therefrom. Derives sole
responsibility with respect to Third Party Products shall be to pass through to
Customer any manufacturer warranties of the Third Party Products. AS TO
PRODUCTS PRODUCED AND SERVICES PROVIDED SOLELY BY DERIVE ("DERIVE PRODUCT OR SERVICE"), DERIVE MAKES NO
WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, EXCEPT AS TO THOSE WARRANTIES SPECIFICALLY SET
FORTH IN EITHER THE SPECIFICATIONS OF THE DERIVE RODUCT OR THE APPLICABLE
STATEMENT OF WORK. If Derive is unable to correct the failure to conform to any
such warranty after a reasonable number of attempts, Derive will provide at its
option either: (a) replacement equipment, product or service, or (b) a refund
of the purchase price. These remedies are Customer's exclusive remedies for
breach of warranty on Derive Products or Services.
Any action for breach of warranty must be commenced within two months following
expiration of the applicable warranty. Derive does not guarantee product
compatibility. Defective and DOA (dead on arrival) product must be reported to
Customer Service within 21 calendar days of the invoice date. All order
discrepancies (shortages, mislabeled product, damaged product or overages) must
be reported to Customer Service within five business days after receipt of the

your purchase. Shipping charges are not refundable.

components or parts not produced by Derive, (b) defects caused by failure to
provide suitable installation or application environment for the equipment, (c)
damage caused by use of the equipment for purposes other than those for which
they were intended, (d) damage caused by disaster such as fire, flood, wind and
lightning, (e) damage during shipment, (f) damage caused by unauthorized
modification or improper installation of the equipment, or (g) any other abuse
or misuse by Customer. No agent or employee of Derive or any other party is
authorized to make any warranty in addition to those made in this Agreement.

OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AND DERIVE HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER
WARRANTIES, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR
A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
11. Limitation of Liability. Except for loss, damage and expense caused
by gross negligence or intentional misconduct, neither party shall be liable to

action or theory of relief. Any liability arising under this Agreement is
limited to the total fees and authorized costs received by Derive for services
rendered pursuant to this Agreement. Further, no action, whether for
indemnification or otherwise, regardless of form, arising out of the
transactions under this Agreement, may be brought by either party more than one
(1) year after the damage, loss or expense occurred, except that an action for
non-payment may be brought within one (1) year after the date of last payment.
Except as otherwise provided herein, Derive is not liable for any claim made by
a third party or made by Customer for a third party.
12. Termination. Derive or Customer may terminate any order made
pursuant to this Agreement with or without cause upon five (5) business days
prior written notice to the other party. Termination shall not relieve
Customer's duty to pay for equipment actually shipped, services actually performed
or expenses incurred by Derive pursuant to this Agreement.
13. Confidential and Trade Secret Information. Neither party to this
Agreement will use or disclose to any third party any confidential or
proprietary information of the other party, including but not limited to, trade

pricing information and any and all other documents marked confidential or
proprietary, without prior written consent of the discloser thereof.
