additional charge to Client. To request warranty service, Client must contact Hart in writing within the
warranty period. Hart may elect to conduct any repairs at Client's site, Hart's facility, or any other
location specified by Hart. Any replacement HVS Hardware provided to Client under this warranty may
be new or reconditioned. Hart may use new and reconditioned parts in performing warranty repairs and
building replacement products. If Hart repairs or replaces HVS Hardware, its warranty period is not
extended and will terminate upon the end of the warranty period of the replaced or repaired HVS
Hardware. Hart owns all replaced HVS Hardware and all parts removed from repaired products. Client

reported, claimed software malfunction is in fact a "bug." Software "bugs" must be reported in writing
and be accompanied with sufficient detail to enable Hart staff to reproduce the error and provide a remedy

operation of any Hart software running on Client's computer equipment, should Client install a new
computer operating system on said equipment without advising Hart of such changes and receiving Hart's

Client requests Hart's review and approval of any system changes outside the original system
specifications at the time of the original acceptance date of this Agreement and the Hart Voting System
Master Agreement. Hart will not be responsible for the proper operation of any Hart software that
interfaces with third party software should such third party software be configured or operated in any
manner contrary than that described in a Statement of Work ( to be attached as a mutually agreed upon
Schedule to this Agreement if engineering services are requested by the Client).
