If at the Customer's request, Ariwell agrees to include any modification in the purchase order or change in an Agreement, including cancellation (partial), delay or suspension, addition, omission, alteration, substitution, or modification of the design, quality, standard, quantity, place of origin, or performance (including sequence, quantities, or timings) of the Products and/or Services (each a "Variation"), or requires a Variation due to (i) changes in applicable laws, regulations, or industry standards, (ii) emergency situations, (iii) incorrect or incomplete information provided by the Customer, or (iv) the Customer's breach of any of its obligations under an Agreement, the Customer shall reimburse Ariwell for all costs and expenses incurred regarding such Variation immediately and upon first request.

Ariwell may require (i) the Customer to pay on fixed date(s); (ii) an advance payment (in part) of the Price; and/or (iii) billing by phases, by time periods, or by performance milestones. The Customer shall proceed to pay the net Price within a maximum period of thirty (30) days from the invoice date, to the designated bank account of Ariwell. The Customer will pay all amounts due to Ariwell in full, without making any claim, deduction, or withholding (of taxes).

(f) Ariwell may offset and deduct any amounts that Ariwell (or any of its subsidiaries) owes to the Client under any agreement, any amount that the Client owes to Ariwell, or offset any advance payments or deposits made by the Client.

In the event of a delay, Ariwell will make commercially reasonable efforts to deliver the Products or provide the Services (when applicable) within a period that is reasonable according to the cause of the delay.

9. Limitation of Warranty and Disclaimer of Liability
(a) In most cases, Ariwell Products are sold with a limited warranty that may accompany the product or may be published on the Ariwell website as the standard warranty applicable to a specific Product (“Standard Product Warranty”). For any Product sold by Ariwell that is not subject to a Standard Product Warranty, Ariwell only guarantees for one (1) year that the Products will be free from Defects. For any Services provided by Ariwell, Ariwell only guarantees that within thirty (30) days from the provision, the Service will be free from Defects (except in relation to Installation where this thirty (30) day warranty period will begin with acceptance as set forth in clause 6(c)). A "Defect" (or "Defective") means, in relation to a Product, that the Product has any defect in material or workmanship that causes the Product not to function according to Ariwell's specifications, taking into account the overall performance of the Product and, in relation to the Services, refers to the Service that is not performed competently and diligently.
(b) Unless the Parties agree otherwise, Ariwell does not provide any warranty for third-party products or products branded by Ariwell, nor for third-party services, applications, or software, or customized Products.
(c) The Customer acknowledges that the EULAs or Additional Terms of Use may limit the warranty period of the software (including web or mobile applications).

If, despite reasonable efforts by Ariwell, a Defective Product cannot be repaired or replaced and the Defective Services cannot be remedied or replaced, Ariwell shall issue the corresponding refund or credit the amount that the Customer paid for those Defective Products or Services. Repairs, replacements, and remedies will not extend or renew the applicable warranty period. The Customer must obtain Ariwell's consent regarding the specifications of the tests they plan to conduct to determine if a Defect exists. The replacement of Products supplied by Ariwell may be made with a Product with slight deviations in design and/or specifications as long as they do not affect the functionality of that Product. Regarding any replaced or credited Product, Ariwell may, at its sole discretion, choose to request the Customer to return those to Ariwell or instruct the Customer to proceed with their destruction at the Customer's expense.

In the event that Ariwell determines that a warranty claim is not valid, the Customer shall cover the costs incurred by Ariwell due to the handling, testing, and transportation of the returned Products.

Failure to comply with these conditions voids the warranty. Ariwell shall not be responsible for wear due to use and for environmental or operational testing. The warranty provided in this clause 9 does not apply to damages or failures arising as a result of any Force Majeure event or any abuse, misuse, abnormal use, improper power supply, voltage overloads or fluctuations, corrosive environment, negligence, exposure, or any use or installation that violates the instructions or restrictions prescribed by Ariwell or any applicable code or standard.
(g) Any indemnities and warranty obligations of Ariwell under the Agreement shall not, by themselves, establish any obligation for third parties or the public. No element of an Agreement shall be interpreted as creating any obligation, a standard of care, or liability for individuals or third parties.
(h) If a recall, modification, update, or other corrective action is required on any Product, the Customer shall fully cooperate and provide any assistance that Ariwell may require. The Customer must maintain accurate records and books to ensure control and tracking of the Products in the event of a Product recall or any other corrective measures.
