information about the Software's functionality. You agree that under no circumstances will You or any user in Your organization input to the Assistant information
that is considered "personal information" or "personal data" (as those or similar terms are defined under any laws applicable to You) or information that Your
organization considers confidential or non-public. The Assistant is based on Azure OpenAI Service from Microsoft Corporation. All input You share with this
Assistant will be processed in accordance with Microsoft's Azure OpenAI Terms https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/legal/cognitive-services/openai/data-privacy.
Before using the Assistant, please review that documentation, and do not use the Assistant if You do not agree to those terms. Veeam may store and review any

has sole control of its defense and/or settlement, and (c) You provide reasonable assistance and cooperate in Veeam's defense and/or settlement, at Veeam's

use of the Software or Documentation is beyond the scope of license granted in this EULA, (2) You modified or created derivative works from the Software or
Documentation, (3) You used an outdated and infringing version of the Software or Documentation after release of a non-infringing version by Veeam, or
(4) You used or combined the Software with any technology, software or hardware not supplied by Veeam, where the alleged infringement would not have occurred

or proceeding is brought or threatened, Veeam will, at its sole option and expense: (i) procure for You the right to continue use of the Software or the
allegedly infringing part thereof; or (ii) modify or amend or replace the same with other software or material having substantially similar functionality
and performance. The aforementioned options are Your sole remedy under this provision.

unmodified form as initially delivered or made available to You, will perform substantially in accordance with the Documentation for such Software for a
warranty period of ninety (90) days from the date the Software is delivered to You (the "Warranty Period"). In the event the Software fails in a material
respect to operate in accordance with the Documentation during the Warranty Period and Veeam is unable to correct the defect, Veeam's sole and exclusive
liability and Your sole and exclusive remedy shall be a refund of the license fees, if any, paid by You for the Software. All claims must be raised within
the Warranty Period. The foregoing limited warranty will not apply to licenses under sections 3.0 and 4.0, or if failure of the Software is the result of
damage or misuse You caused. In the event a reported problem with the Software is Your fault, You agree to reimburse Veeam for its correction efforts in
accordance with its then standard rates.
14.2 EXCEPT FOR THE LIMITED WARRANTY SET FORTH IN SECTION 13.1, THE SOFTWARE AND MAINTENANCE ARE PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS
OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY THAT THE SOFTWARE IS FREE OF DEFECTS, WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, IS MERCHANTABLE, OR FIT FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE. NO ORAL OR WRITTEN INFORMATION OR ADVICE GIVEN BY VEEAM OR ANY THIRD PARTY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY VEEAM DISTRIBUTORS OR

OR COST OF COVER) IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THE DELIVERY, PERFORMANCE OR USE OF THE SOFTWARE OR ANY OTHER MATERIALS OR MAINTENANCE PROVIDED BY VEEAM
UNDER THIS EULA, WHETHER ALLEGED AS A BREACH OF CONTRACT CLAIM OR AS ANOTHER TYPE OF CLAIM, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, CLAIMS FOR UNJUST ENRICHMENT, UNFAIR
COMPETITION OR BUSINESS PRACTICES, OR OTHER TORTIOUS CONDUCT, INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE AND STRICT LIABILITY, EVEN IF VEEAM HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
SUCH DAMAGES. VEEAM'S MAXIMUM AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THIS EULA AND VEEAM'S RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU SHALL NOT, IN ANY EVENT, EXCEED THE
FEES PAID BY YOU TO VEEAM FOR THE SOFTWARE DURING THE ONE (1) YEAR PERIOD PRIOR TO THE DATE THE APPLICABLE CAUSE OF ACTION AROSE.
14.4 NO ACTION ARISING OUT OF ANY BREACH OR CLAIMED BREACH OF THIS EULA OR TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS EULA MAY BE BROUGHT BY EITHER PARTY MORE THAN
ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION HAS ACCRUED. FOR PURPOSES OF THIS EULA, A CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE ACCRUED WHEN A PARTY KNEW OR
REASONABLY SHOULD HAVE KNOWN OF THE BREACH OR CLAIMED BREACH.
