Any support requests regarding actual use of the application must be directed to the organization or eHost that developed the application.
  • The User is responsible for creating back-ups before upgrading to the next version.
  • We can not guarantee that the version we currently provide is the latest one being distributed by the vendor.
  • Any security risks including, but not limited to, hacking, phishing and information piracy are the sole responsibility of the User.
  • We reserve the right to discontinue applications managed by InstallCentral at any time.

  • Severability. All rights and restrictions contained in this Agreement may be exercised and shall be applicable and binding only to the extent that they do not violate any applicable laws and are intended to be limited to the extent necessary so that they will not render this Agreement illegal, invalid or unenforceable. If any provision or portion of any provision of this Agreement shall be held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, it is the intention of the parties that the remaining provisions or portions thereof shall constitute their agreement with respect to the subject matter hereof, and all such remaining provisions or portions thereof shall remain in full force and effect.

Any attempted assignment in violation of the foregoing provision shall be null and void and of no force or effect whatsoever. eHost may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement, and may engage subcontractors or agents in performing its duties and exercising its rights hereunder, without the consent of User.

  • Force Majeure.
