testing), evaluation, or monitoring of any EIR, nor the absence of such review, testing, evaluation, or
monitoring will result in a waiver of the University's right to contest Graduway's assertion of
compliance with the EIR Accessibility Warranty. To the extent that Graduway becomes aware that
the EIRs, or any portion thereof, do not comply with the EIR Accessibility Warranty, then Graduway
represents and warrants that it will at no cost to University, either (1) perform all necessary
remediation to make the EIRs satisfy the EIR Accessibility Warranty or (2) replace the EIRs with new
EIRs that satisfy the EIR Accessibil ity Warranty. In the event that Graduway fails or is unable to do so,

University has paid under the Agreement during the time Graduway was out of compl iance with the
EIR Accessibility Warranty within thirty (30) days after the termination date.

of God, war or civil disturbances, malic ious damage, cyber attack, inability to obtain supplies, failure
of a utility or telecoms service, regulat ions or laws of any civil or military authority affecting a party
