Part 2: Warranty Terms

Section 1 – Silhouette Hardware

Overview
Each unit of Silhouette Hardware is covered by a limited warranty (the Limited Warranty) for a period of 12 months from the date that unit is delivered to you. The Order Form may offer you the option of purchasing a warranty extension, pursuant to which the Limited Warranty may be extended for either an additional 12 or an additional 24 months; but the annual rate charged for the Limited Warranty for a unit of Silhouette Hardware will increase as the age of that unit increases and we reserve the right to not offer warranty extension on any unit of Silhouette Hardware.

Scope of Limited Warranty
The Limited Warranty covers failure of the unit of Silhouette Hardware due to manufacturing error or component failure, but expressly excludes any damage or failure that could reasonably be considered to result from: (i) negligence or misuse of the unit of Silhouette Hardware, including dropping of the unit of Silhouette Hardware, (ii) improper operation, use, storage, repair or maintenance of the unit of Silhouette Hardware, (iii) any modification to the unit of Silhouette Hardware not performed by us, or (iv) connection of the unit of Silhouette Hardware to other equipment or software to which it is incompatible.

All other representations or warranties (statutory, express or implied except any which may not lawfully be excluded) with respect to the Silhouette Hardware are expressly excluded. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose are excluded. We will not be liable to you under the law of tort, contract or otherwise for any direct, indirect or consequential loss or damage, including any loss of profits, however caused, arising out of the use of, loss of use of or disrepair of the Silhouette Hardware. If any limitation of liability is invalid for any reason and we become liable for loss or damage that would otherwise have been excluded, such liability to You for all damages will not (other than as may be required by applicable law in cases involving personal injury) exceed the amount of fifty US Dollars (US$50.00).

Warranty Procedure
In order to receive warranty service for a unit of Silhouette Hardware, the Limited Warranty for that unit of Silhouette Hardware must be in effect on the date on which a warranty claim is lodged by you. You may lodge a warranty claim by email or by calling our technical support line during Support hours. When a warranty claim is lodged, we will assign your warranty claim a Case Number. In most cases it will be necessary for you to ship the unit of Silhouette Hardware to us for evaluation of your warranty claim. If your warranty claim is covered by the Limited Warranty, we will repair or replace the damaged or defective article and will pay for shipping in both directions. If your warranty claim is not covered by the Limited Warranty, you will be responsible for all shipping costs, and if you elect to proceed with repair, you will be responsible for the cost of repair at our usual rates as then in effect.

Section 2 – Silhouette Software

Disclaimer
If the Order Form includes one or more licenses of Silhouette Software, the Silhouette Software is licensed to you “as is” and all representations or warranties (statutory, express or implied except any which may not lawfully be excluded) are expressly excluded. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose are excluded. You acknowledge that the Silhouette Software operates in a predictive manner relative to input of which AML has no control over the collection, use or interpretation, and you accept the entire risk as to the use and the results of the use of the Silhouette Software in the terms of correctness, accuracy, reliability, and performance. You also accept the entire risk as to any conflict between Silhouette Software and other software on the hardware on which the Silhouette Software is installed.

 

Part 3: Use of Silhouette Software

Section 1 – SilhouetteCentral – Customer Hosted


Overview

This Section 1 applies if the Order Form includes a license of SilhouetteCentral where data is to be hosted by you on your server.

Installation

SilhouetteCentral is supplied by download from the internet or by other means. The software includes installation instructions for a person skilled in computer system administration to carry out the installation process. To assist in this installation, we will provide remote assistance by connecting to the server computer via the internet. You are responsible for coordinating within your organization to have a properly skilled person available at the site while our service person assists with the SilhouetteCentral installation.

Each Point of Care Device connects to SilhouetteCentral in one of two ways: (1) an indirect connection via a Point of Care Access License that permits an instance of SilhouetteConnect installed on a personal computer, laptop or tablet to communicate with an instance of SilhouetteCentral, or (2) a direct connection via a Point of Care Access License that permits the Point of Care Device to communicate directly with an instance of SilhouetteCentral. In either case, configuration is required as described below.

Connection via SilhouetteConnect
Each instance of SilhouetteConnect must be configured to connect with the specific SilhouetteCentral database to allow SilhouetteCentral to synchronize. This configuration is performed by you and all necessary setup information for configuring SilhouetteCentral will be provided to you by us. A Point of Care Access License is required to enable this connection.

ARANZ Medical will provide detailed instructions to you on how to configure an instance of SilhouetteConnect to connect to SilhouetteCentral. ARANZ Medical will provide telephone assistance in the setup of the first license of SilhouetteConnect at no charge. Any requested support for additional licenses of SilhouetteConnect will be considered as support for that license of SilhouetteConnect and processed accordingly.

You are responsible for the setup and maintenance of the connection of each personal computer, laptop or tablet on which SilhouetteConnect is installed to the internet and for ensuring that each instance of SilhouetteConnect is regularly synchronized with SilhouetteCentral. We highly recommend that you synchronize each instance of SilhouetteConnect on each day on which data is collected.

Direct Connection
Where a Point of Care Device is connected directly to SilhouetteCentral via a Point of Care Access License, each Point of Care Device must be configured to access your URL and instance of SilhouetteCentral. This configuration is performed by you and all necessary setup information is provided to you by us. You are responsible for the maintenance and performance (to our product minimum specifications) of your wireless internet connection to allow your Point of Care Device(s) to communicate with your instance of SilhouetteCentral. Your Point of Care Access License is limited to a specific Point of Care Device(s) which may connect to an instance of SilhouetteCentral via that Point of Care Access License, and You agree not to circumvent this restriction.

In addition, where the Point of Care Device is a smart phone or tablet, it is necessary for the user to first download and install SilhouetteLite or SilhouetLite+. We will provide minimum specifications for Your smart phone or tablet, and you are responsible for the purchase and maintenance of the smart phone or table at your expense.

System Requirements

We will provide minimum specifications for the computer system for the server. You are responsible at your expense for the purchase and maintenance of all hardware for the server computer. Note: In smaller installations, for example a wound care center or office, SilhouetteCentral can sometimes be installed on an existing computer in the facility. In larger installations, dedicated higher performance servers will be required.

You are responsible at your expense for the Microsoft software required to support SilhouetteCentral including the operating system and SQL Server database. 

You are responsible at your expense for all hardware and network infrastructure at your site including any remote locations. This includes any network data connection costs. You are also responsible for security and regular backup of data.


Section 2 – SilhouetteCentral – AML Hosted

Overview

This Section 2 applies if the Order Form includes a license of SilhouetteCentral where data is to be hosted by us.

Set up and Use

SilhouetteCentral with data hosting by AML requires no software installation at your site for the SilhouetteCentral instance. Each Point of Care Device connects to SilhouetteCentral in one of two ways: (1) an indirect connection via a Point of Care Access License that permits an instance of SilhouetteConnect installed on a personal computer, laptop or tablet to communicate with an instance of SilhouetteCentral, or (2) a direct connection via a Point of Care Access License that permits the Point of Care Device to communicate directly with an instance of SilhouetteCentral. In either case, configuration is required as described below.

Connection via SilhouetteConnect

Each instance of SilhouetteConnect must be configured to connect with the specific SilhouetteCentral database to allow SilhouetteCentral to synchronize. This configuration is performed by you and all necessary setup information for configuring SilhouetteCentral will be provided to you by us. A Point of Care Access License is required to enable this connection.

ARANZ Medical will provide detailed instructions to you on how to configure an instance of SilhouetteConnect to connect to SilhouetteCentral. ARANZ Medical will provide telephone assistance in the setup of the first license of SilhouetteConnect at no charge. Any requested support for additional licenses of SilhouetteConnect will be considered as support for that license of SilhouetteConnect and processed accordingly.

You are responsible for the setup and maintenance of the connection of each personal computer, laptop or tablet on which SilhouetteConnect is installed to the internet and for ensuring that each instance of SilhouetteConnect is regularly synchronized with SilhouetteCentral. We highly recommend that you synchronize each instance of SilhouetteConnect on each day on which data is collected.

Direct Connection

Where a Point of Care Device is connected directly to SilhouetteCentral via a Point of Care Access License, each Point of Care Device must be configured to access your URL and instance of SilhouetteCentral. This configuration is performed by you and all necessary setup information is provided to you by us. You are responsible for the maintenance and performance (to our product minimum specifications) of your wireless internet connection to allow your Point of Care Device(s) to communicate with your instance of SilhouetteCentral. Your Point of Care Access License will specify the specific Point of Care Device(s) which may connect to an instance of SilhouetteCentral via that Point of Care Access License, and You agree not to circumvent this restriction.

In addition, where the Point of Care Device is a smart phone or tablet, it is necessary for the user to first download and install SilhouetteLite or SilhouetLite+. We will provide minimum specifications for Your smart phone or tablet, and you are responsible for the purchase and maintenance of the smart phone or table at your expense.

General

We will provide instructions on web access to SilhouetteCentral. SilhouetteCentral can be accessed from a Microsoft Windows PC using Microsoft Internet Explorer (version 11 or later) web browser, which you will be required to provide at your expense.

We are responsible for connectivity charges relating to connecting SilhouetteCentral on our server to the internet. You are responsible for any other internet data charges – e.g. if there are charges for the connection of each personal computer, laptop or tablet on which SilhouetteConnect is installed to the internet, and/or for the connection of your Point of Care Device directly to Silhouette Central via a Point of Care Access License, and for performance and cost of the internet network traffic of any computer system used to access SilhouetteCentral.

We will provide hosting of SilhouetteCentral on the internet and we have sole discretion as to the means of providing this data hosting service (we may host this service on our servers or on third party servers). However we choose to host this service, and provided you comply with the requirements imposed on you under the Section entitled “Security” below, we are responsible for the maintenance and backup of the data transferred to the server hosting SilhouetteCentral.

The SilhouetteCentral server will be off-line for short periods for scheduled (and in some cases unscheduled) maintenance so 100% up-time of the server is not guaranteed. We will back up the SilhouetteCentral server content regularly according to standard industry practice.

Security

We use standard industry practice employed in medical record systems to ensure the confidentiality of data stored on SilhouetteCentral.

You agree to configure SilhouetteConnect and SilhouetteCentral according to guidelines provided by us with regards to maintaining data confidentiality. All information is under username/password protection and you are responsible for selection and modification of all usernames and passwords and for ensuring that the confidentiality of this access information. You agree to allow us to access your instance of SilhouetteCentral for service purposes. You agree that you are responsible for any legal issues (other than our responsibilities with respect to confidentiality and back up described in the previous paragraph) relating to storage of data on SilhouetteCentral.

Termination

You are permitted to terminate your license of SilhouetteCentral only as of the last day of a calendar quarter, by giving us written notice of termination at least 15 days prior to the last day of the quarter, except that where the Order Form specifies a minimum number of quarters, you may terminate your licence only as of or after the last day of the last specified quarter. We will continue to invoice you quarterly for, and you agree that you will continue to pay, Quarterly License Fees for SilhouetteCentral until the effective date of termination of your license.

Following the effective date of termination, including any termination by us pursuant to the terms of the CTEULA or these Terms of Use, we will take SilhouetteCentral off line, archive all images and wound assessment records and provide these to you. (This will be in the form of jpg images, an export of the wound measurement data in CSV (comma separated value) format file, and an export of the Silhouette format data in the event that in future the customer may require this.) A Data Archival Fee will apply to this service. Once this data transfer has occurred, we may, at our discretion, delete all patient data. We reserve the right to provide an alternate means of providing this data hosting service or to discontinue providing SilhouetteCentral at any time; provided, however, that we will not discontinue this service during the period that you have committed to pay hosting fees in the accepted Order Form.

Customization

The software comprising SilhouetteConnect and SilhouetteCentral is standard, and without customization and configuration. Upon Customer request, a customization or configuration service can be made available for an additional charge.


Section 3 – SilhouetteConnect

Overview

This Section 3 applies if the Order Form includes a license of SilhouetteConnect.

SilhouetteConnect is supplied by download from the internet or by other means, and must be separately installed on each personal computer, laptop or tablet running SilhouetteConnect. The software includes installation instructions for a person skilled in computer system administration to carry out the installation process.

Where that limit is exceeded, you must either purchase an additional license of SilhouetteConnect or a license of SilhouetteCentral.

 

Part 4: Technical Support Policies

These Technical Support Policies apply to technical support (Support) that we provide for the Silhouette Software:

Support Contracts

Each licence of the Silhouette Software will only be entitled to Support during periods that license is under a current Support Contract. You will not be entitled to Support or Updates for any license of Silhouette Software for which a Support Contract is not purchased. Three levels of Support are offered under different Support Contracts: Minimum Support, Enhanced Support and Premium Support. Unless otherwise provided in an accepted Order Form, if your license is an annual license or is for a shorter Fixed Term, a Support Contract providing Minimum Support is included in the license fees charged for the Fixed Term (or any offered and accepted Renewed Term); provided, if you wish to purchase Enhanced Support or Premium Support for that license, additional fees apply. Unless otherwise provided in an accepted Order Form, if your licence is for a Continuous Term, your license fee will not include a Support Contract. In the case of a license for a Continuous Term, (1) you will not be entitled to Support or Updates unless you purchase a Support Contract for each applicable Support period, at our then current rates, (2) the Support period (usually one year) will be the period for which we have invoiced and you have paid support fees in advance, (3) you will not be required to pay Support fees, but you acknowledge that without Support and Updates the functionality of the Silhouette Software will not progress and may degrade over time, and (4) you may purchase a Support Contract at one of our three offered levels: Minimum Support, Enhanced Support or Premium Support. Further, if you and/or a related person or entity holds more than one licence of the Silhouette Software, you or they will not be entitled to Support unless a current Support Contract is maintained on all such licences.

Provision of Support

Support is provided through email and telephone during the Support hours designated in your Support Contract. We will provide you with a telephone number and email address for you to use in seeking Support. You are responsible for all telecommunications charges (telephone, internet, etc.) you incur in contacting us for Support.

Regardless of the level of Support purchased by you, Support does not include the following Services: training, product integration, project integration, project implementation, consulting, data review, data processing, data correction or user administration services, data archival services, but these Services may be available for additional fees either directly by us or through our distributors or agents.

Updates and installation instructions are made available by download and you will be responsible for copying, downloading and installing the Updates. If we offer you an Update, but you do not accept it, we will have no obligation to provide Support of older versions. We may offer you Modules from time to time, subject to your payment of any additional license fees and agreement to any terms and conditions applicable to the Module. All Updates accepted by you and all Modules purchased by you will form a part of the Silhouette Software licensed to you and be subject to these Terms of Use and the CTEULA.

Lapsed Support

If Support lapses because you have failed to purchase a Support Contract prior to the commencement of an offered Support period, and you subsequently wish to be reinstated in the Support program, you must:

a) pay all support fees that would have been payable during the period Support was lapsed had you kept a Support Contract in place on a continuous basis.
b) update your Silhouette Software to the latest major release.

Use of Information

You recognize that in the course of receiving Support, you or your representatives may furnish data or other information to us or to our distributors or support agents. By furnishing such information you irrevocably consent to the use, transfer and processing of this information by us, our distributors and agents for support purposes and keeping you apprised of Support and Update information.
