and maintaining accurate inventory counts. Licensor is not responsible for theft,
miscounts, errors in data entry or any other aspect of data corruption due to human
error on the part of Licensee or any Third Party. Although Licensor will use
commercially reasonable efforts designed to ensure that the compliance procedures
and other information made available via Software are accurate and in accordance

the basis of the bargain between the parties.
