THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE SOFTWARE LIES WITH YOU.

IN NO EVENT WILL APTORA CORPORATION BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY LOST PROFITS, LOST SAVINGS, LOST FILES, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR ANY OTHER SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE SOFTWARE, EVEN IF APTORA CORPORATION HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POTENTIAL FOR SUCH DAMAGES.

SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, OR THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR SPECIAL DAMAGES, SO THESE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

THE ENTIRE LIABILITY OF APTORA CORPORATION AND YOUR ENTIRE REMEDY IN RESPECT TO THE SOFTWARE, SHALL, AT THE OPTION OF APTORA CORPORATION, BE EITHER TO REPLACE THE SOFTWARE OR TO OBTAIN A REFUND OF THE PURCHASE PRICE THAT YOU PAID FOR THE SOFTWARE.

Certain interactive services available through the Software allow you to connect with other parties. Aptora Corporation cannot control the actions of those parties or the security of information sent to those parties using the Software. Aptora Corporation must rely on information received from third parties in performing certain services, and are not responsible for errors in the information Aptora Corporation receives. Matters relating to credit transactions, such as charge backs of credit card charges, are the responsibility of the institution that handles your account.

You acknowledge and agree that the Software is subject to U.S. Export restrictions. You agree and certify that neither the Software nor any direct product thereof is being or will be acquired, shipped, transferred or exported, directly or indirectly outside the United States or Canada or will be used for any purpose prohibited by U.S. Export restrictions; provided, however, U.S. citizens and U.S. permanent resident aliens may travel to countries not prohibited by these restrictions with the Software when it is installed on their personal computer and not otherwise used or transferred in violation of the U.S. Export restrictions.

Aptora Corporation will support the current version of this software and any previous versions that Aptora Corporation elects to support. However, due to the constantly changing environment of personal computer technology, and Internet technology, previous versions may become inoperable or incompatible with current operating systems, hardware, Aptora Corporation Services, third party interactive services or other technologies. For you to continue to operate successfully, it may be necessary to purchase an upgrade. Support requires purchase of a support option, as outlined in the package or on our website. Aptora Corporation is not obligated to provide updates or any form of support to those with a past due account.

Aptora Corporation will provide software support and basic bookkeeping advice to a well qualified bookkeeping professional. Training is not included. Aptora Corporation may limit support to one incident per day or one hour per day, per company. Callers will generally be asked to leave a message. Call back times are typically less than one hour but may take up to four business hours. Support is available Monday through Friday except federal holidays. Support hours are 8am to noon and 1pm to 5pm central time. Calls received after 4:30pm will be handled the next business day. Aptora Corporation will not address networking issues or answer questions that would be better addressed by an accountant or IT (information technology) company.

Total Office Manager Enterprise Edition will require some administrative tasks to be performed outside of the workstation application (the software that runs on workstations). These tasks include, but are not limited to, regular backup scheduling, performance monitoring, and maintenance planning. Because of this, it is required that you have an acting IT Manager, Database Administrator, or other technical person on staff or on call in your business that is qualified and capable of managing a SQL Server 2005 system.

Our help desk and development teams will not be able to give advice or answer questions related to the management of your SQL Server, as it is a software platform independent of Total Office Manager Enterprise Edition. The security and reliability of your server system is not Aptora's responsibility, and we can therefore not be held liable for incorrect configurations outside of the data arrangement and access through Total Office Manager Enterprise Edition workstations.

Changes in state, federal, or local tax laws may render this software, or previous versions, obsolete. To continue to operate successfully, it may be necessary for you to purchase a payroll tax table update. These updates are generally part of any support plan offered by Aptora Corporation. In addition to these fees, Aptora Corporation may require you to purchase an upgrade to a current version of the Program as tax laws change. Aptora Corporation does not update versions of the Program that are not shipping at the time of a change in tax laws.

Aptora Corporation provides links to other Web sites on the Internet that are owned and operated by third party vendors and other third parties not under the control of Aptora Corporation. These links are provided for your convenience only and are not intended as a warranty of any type regarding the other Web sites or the information or services offered on such Web sites. Under no circumstances shall Aptora Corporation, or its subsidiaries or affiliates, be responsible or liable in any way for the availability of, services or products offered, or the content located on or through, any such external Web site.

This Program has been designed to work optimally in the environment documented within the system requirements. Any defects, inconsistencies, or issues arising out of operating outside the parameters set forth therein may require the licensee to pay additional maintenance or upgrade costs to Aptora Corporation to support or fix.

An internet connection is required to download updates, fixes, enhancements, and new versions. If you must ask us to mail updates to you, Aptora Corporation reserves the right to include a reasonable fee to cover production, handling, and shipping. An internet connection may also be required to provide technical support and training. If you do not have an internet connection, technical support, training, and other services may be limited or completely unavailable. An internet connection is required to validate licensing rights. If the Program cannot verify licensing, limits might be placed on your ability to use the Program including preventing users from logging into the Program.

Aptora Corporation takes the privacy and security of its users very seriously. The Program might send Aptora Corporation certain information that could be used to identify the company or user. Examples of when such information might be sent include, but are not necessarily limited to, checking for updates, submitting surveys, submitting bug reports, or making feature or enhancement requests.
