As Your sole and exclusive remedy for any breach of this warranty, Pesa will use its commercially reasonable efforts to correct any failure of the Licensed Software to operate substantially in accordance with the Reference Manuals at time of delivery which is not the result of any improper or unauthorized operation of the License Software and that is timely reported by You to Pesa in writing within the Warranty Period, provided that in lieu of initiating commercially reasonable efforts to correct any such breach, Pesa may, in its absolute discretion, either (i) replace the Licensed Software with other software or technology which substantially conforms to the Reference Manuals or (ii) refund to You a portion of the fee paid for the relevant Licensed Software, whereupon this Agreement shall terminate.
