If, within ninety (90) days of date of shipment it is shown that the GE Software does not meet this warranty, and such GE Software is returned to GE with a copy of Customers purchase confirmation, GE will, at its option, either correct the defect or error in the GE Software, free of charge, or make available to Customer satisfactory substitute software, or, if none of the foregoing is reasonably available, return to Customer all payments made as license fees (or, if applicable, the portion of the fees paid for the GE equipment in which the GE Software is embedded which are allocable to the GE Software) and terminate the license with respect to the GE Software affected. GE does not warrant that operation of the GE Software will be uninterrupted or error free or that it will meet Customer's needs.

The Third Parties shall not have any liability for special, indirect, punitive, incidental or consequential damages. Customer's sole remedy for breach of such warranty shall be the remedy offered by and available from the Third Party, if any.
