Having stated this, Sonic Academy takes on the guarantee towards the Licensee that, at the point in time when the contract is concluded, the Licensed Software will prove to be free of all material and technical defects under normal operating conditions. Should the software prove defective, the Licensee can demand its replacement during a period of 12 (twelve) months from receipt of the Licensed Software.

All guarantee claims on behalf of the Licensee become invalid if he tampers with the Licensed Software, or modifies them in any way whatsoever, regardless of the extent of such modifications. The translation of the Licensed Software into any other program language is also to be regarded as a modification.

Where Sonic Academy is answerable for a defect of the Licensed Software, the Licensee's right shall be confined to subsequent performance.

Subsequent performance shall be deemed to have failed if Sonic Academy is unwilling or unable to rectify the defect / make substitute delivery or if rectification / substitute delivery is delayed beyond adequate time limits for reasons which Sonic Academy is answerable for or if attempts at rectification have failed twice. More extensive claims, no matter on which legal reason, shall be excluded.

In the instances when, within the context of the guarantee, the scope of the Licensed Software would have to be changed, in particular if more memory capacity is needed for the program, the Licensee can make no claims of any kind against Sonic Academy.

The Licensee has no rights over and above the aforementioned. Sonic Academy bears no liability for any loss or damage to the Licensed Software, or to other programs being used, for the loss of working results, turnover, or profit, or for direct or indirect loss or damage suffered by the Licensee or any third party, unless such loss or damage has been caused by Sonic Academy acting with intent or gross negligence.
