2. Fees; Payment. All amounts payable by Customer for this License are non-refundable and fully earned upon ZOLL’s grant of access of PlusTrac to Customer, and such amounts are due and payable by Customer without any further performance by ZOLL or its reseller.

3. Representations and Warranties.
3.1 ZOLL warrants that for thirty days from the date set forth on the applicable sales order between Customer and ZOLL or its reseller, PlusTrac will perform in accordance with the then-current Documentation in all material respects. Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy for any breach of the warranty shall be to have ZOLL or its representatives, at their option, modify PlusTrac to correct the defect giving rise to such breach. If ZOLL is unable to modify PlusTrac in such a way as to correct the defect, then, unless ZOLL is able to provide Customer with another method of achieving the desired effect, Customer shall be entitled to terminate the Agreement by giving written notice thereof to ZOLL. In such event, Customer shall be entitled to a pro rata refund of any fees paid by Customer to ZOLL or its reseller for PlusTrac.
