the scope of this License for sixty (60) days after delivery to
Licensee. This warranty does not extend to the manner or means
in which the Program code was constructed or operates, which is
covered in the disclaimer below, but only extends to file corruption
or media defects that interfere with or prevent the Product from
operating in the way it would operate if such corruption or defect
had not been introduced into the file or media.
B. Disclaimers of Warranty. OTHER THAN THE EXPRESS WARRANTY
(Section 8.A), NET WORTH STRATEGIES DISCLAIMS ANY OTHER WARRANTIES,
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY,
FITNESS FOR THE PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE OR NONINFRINGEMENT,
AND THERE ARE NO WARRANTIES CREATED BY A COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE
OF PERFORMANCE OR TRADE USAGE. The Program and Documentation are

as contained in any Documentation or as instructed by Net Worth

The software product is not intended to be a "consumer
good" or "consumer product" under state or federal
warranty laws. The warranty provided herein gives Licensee specific
legal rights, and Licensee may have other rights that vary from
state to state.

Strategies will replace any media or Documentation that breaches
that warranty if Licensee delivers the defective media or portion

after the Product was delivered to Licensee. If this remedy fails
to satisfy the obligation of Net Worth Strategies for breach of
any warranty, express or implied, then Net Worth Strategies will
refund to Licensee the License Fee paid, provided that Licensee
has destroyed the Program and Documentation and issues a certificate,
under penalty of perjury, that Licensee has destroyed all other
full or partial copies of the Program, Documentation and Security
Key in Licensee's possession.
D. Exclusion of Consequential and Other Damages. NET WORTH
STRATEGIES WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO LICENSEE OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR
ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES,
WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, WARRANTY, BREACH OF STATUTORY DUTY,

SUCH DAMAGES. THIS SECTION APPLIES REGARDLESS OF ANY FAILURE OF
EXCLUSIVE REMEDY (Section 8.C).
E. Licensee's Indemnification. LICENSEE WILL INDEMNIFY
AND HOLD HARMLESS NET WORTH STRATEGIES FROM ALL CLAIMS AND DAMAGES
OF ANY TYPE ARISING FROM ANY THIRD PARTY AS A RESULT OF LICENSEE'S

G. No Authority to Modify. The agents, employees, distributors
and dealers of Net Worth Strategies are not authorized to make
modifications to this warranty or to make additional warranties
binding on Net Worth Strategies. Accordingly, additional statements
such as advertising or presentations, whether oral or written,
do not constitute warranties by Net Worth Strategies and should
not be relied upon by Licensee.
H. Enforcement. In the event of any legal action brought
by Net Worth Strategies to protect its rights hereunder, Net Worth
Strategies shall be entitled to reimbursement of its costs, including
reasonable attorneys' fees.
I. General Warning and Disclaimer. You acknowledge that
as with all complex planning activities, there are limitations
that should be seriously considered, some of which are listed
below. In all events, Net Worth Strategies disclaims responsibility,
without limitation, for any and all consequences of the following
items:
i. The projections made by the Program are based upon assumptions
that the user enters into the Program. In all likelihood there
will be differences between the projected and actual results,
as events and circumstances frequently do not occur as projected
and those events and circumstances may be material.
ii. There may be material factors that are part of the models
or for which simplified estimates are given. By way of example
and not by limitation, the estimated income tax results do not
automatically take into consideration such factors as passive
activity losses, recapture of depreciation, net operating loss
carry-forward, selected alternative minimum tax preference items
and the like. As such, the tax computations made by the Net
Worth Strategies' Program may be substantially incorrect in
many circumstances.
iii. Net Worth Strategies has made commercially reasonable
efforts to use income tax calculations based upon current tax
rates and tax provisions; however, the Internal Revenue Code
and interpretations of the Internal Revenue Code frequently
change and Net Worth Strategies cannot guarantee that the Product
will be up to date.
iv. In all likelihood, there are defects and limitations in
the Net Worth Strategies' Program that will produce erroneous
projections and output.
v. The accuracy of the projections and output produced by the
Net Worth Strategies' Program depends on the validity and accuracy
of all inputs and user assumptions.
9. Arbitration. Any dispute arising out of or relating to
this License Agreement or to the Program that is not settled by
the parties themselves shall be submitted to binding arbitration
in Bend, Oregon under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American
Arbitration Association. The arbitration and any related proceedings
shall be controlled by the U.S. Arbitration Act and to the extent
not covered by that act, by the Oregon Arbitration Act.
10. General.
A. This is the entire agreement of the parties and supersedes
any prior understandings, terms covering evaluation versions or
other agreements or orders. This License Agreement cannot be modified
or amended except by written instrument signed by both parties.
B. This License Agreement shall be governed and construed
in accordance with the laws of Oregon or by federal statute, where
applicable.
C. If any provision of this License Agreement shall be
found to be unenforceable, it shall be deemed severable from,
and shall in no way affect the enforceability of, the remaining
provisions of this License Agreement.
D. The exclusive venue for any court proceedings arising
out of or related to this License Agreement or the Program is
the state and federal courts of Deschutes County, Oregon.
E. All prices and fees are exclusive of applicable taxes
on the sale or use of the Product. In the event Net Worth Strategies
charged such taxes on the License in this License Agreement, Net
Worth Strategies may add an equal amount to the total fee owed
by Licensee hereunder. Net Worth Strategies reserves the right
in its sole discretion to accept reseller tax exemption certificates
from purchasers.
