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.

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.

C. Exclusive Remedy.

D. Exclusion of Consequential and Other Damages. Ely Portfolios 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, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHER TORT, CONTRIBUTION OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF ELY PORTFOLIOS HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THIS SECTION APPLIES REGARDLESS OF ANY FAILURE OF EXCLUSIVE REMEDY (Section 8.C).

G. No Authority to Modify. The agents, employees, distributors and dealers of Ely Portfolios are not authorized to make modifications to this warranty or to make additional warranties binding on Ely Portfolios. Accordingly, additional statements such as advertising or presentations, whether oral or written, do not constitute warranties by Ely Portfolios and should not be relied upon by Licensee.

H. Enforcement. In the event of any legal action brought by Ely Portfolios to protect its rights hereunder, Ely Portfolios 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, Ely Portfolios 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 Ely Portfolios' Program may be substantially incorrect in many circumstances.

iii Ely Portfolios has made commercially reasonable efforts to use IRS regulations, Proposed Regulations and Private Letter Rulings in this Program. However, the Internal Revenue Code and interpretations of the Internal Revenue Code frequently change and Private Letter Rulings do not establish binding legal precedent. The law in this area is subject to constant change and interpretation and therefore Ely Portfolios
 cannot guarantee the accuracy and timeliness of the calculations made by the Product or that the Product will be up to date or current at the time it is used to make calculations.

iv In all likelihood, there are defects and limitations in the Ely Portfolios' Program that will produce erroneous projections and output.

v. Not only does the accuracy of the projections and output produced by the Ely Portfolios' Program depend upon the interpretation of the current law, but it also depends upon the validity and accuracy of user 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 demonstration 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 California 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 Sacramento, California.

E. All prices and fees are exclusive of applicable taxes on the sale or use of the Product. In the event Ely Portfolios charged such taxes on the License in this License Agreement, Ely Portfolios may add an equal amount to the total fee owed by Licensee hereunder. Ely Portfolios reserves the right in its sole discretion to accept reseller tax exemption certificates from purchasers.
