A Party’s Pre-existing Property shall include, without limitation, all records, documents, programming specifications, diagrams, source code, object code, documentation, and/or Confidential Information that was developed or acquired prior to or independent of this Agreement.

7. Limited Warranty 

If you notify Tracker in writing within thirty (30) days of the Go Live Date that the Software does not substantially conform to the applicable Order Form or statement of work, Tracker will promptly modify such Software so that it does substantially conform to the applicable Order Form or statement of work. If within thirty (30) days after notice is received by Tracker (Remediation Period), Tracker is unable to repair or modify such Software to substantially conform to the applicable Order Form or statement of work, then upon your written request Tracker shall refund the Fees paid for the Software (except for any fees for set up and configuration) and, at your sole option, this Agreement and/or the applicable Order Form shall automatically terminate (the “Limited Warranty”). The period to request such applicable refund shall be thirty (30) days from the final day of the Remediation Period. If request is not requested within this thirty (30) period, the refund shall be deemed forfeited. This represents Tracker’s total liability and your sole remedy with respect to the Limited Warranty.

(a) all Services will be performed in a timely, professional and workmanlike manner in accordance with generally accepted industry practices and standards;

9. DISCLAIMER 

This solution contains an adoptable feature that may force an I-9 Manager and/or their delegate to attach required documentation (when prompted) to proceed with completing/signing Section 2 and/or Section 3 of an employee’s I-9 form. You acknowledge and agree that Tracker is not liable for a tardy or unsubmitted form because of the functionality blocking the completion of a I-9 form due to a failure to attach a required document(s). Included with this feature is the ability for an I-9 Manager with permissions to override the attachment requirement. Please contact the Tracker I-9 Product Support team if you believe the I-9 form’s submission is being blocked in error. 

Except as provided for herein (or in an applicable Order Form), Tracker makes no other representations or warranties, express or implied (including, but not limited to, implied warranties of merchantability, and fitness for a particular purpose), with respect to any use of the Software described herein and to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Tracker disclaims all other representations and warranties. You acknowledge and agree that you are not relying on Tracker or its Software to provide any legal advice whatsoever, including without limitation, as to electronic signatures, employment eligibility verification, E-Verification or E-Verify Designated Agent duties, records maintenance or other laws. The Software may be subject to limitations, delays, and other problems inherent in the use of the internet and electronic communications. Tracker is not responsible for any delays, delivery failures, or other damage resulting solely from such problems.  Except as provided for herein (or in an applicable Order Form), Tracker does not guarantee that the Software will perform error-free or uninterrupted or that it will correct all Software errors.
