Customer promptly installing all Product revisions that have been released for such Products by Verbatim throughout the warranty term. Verbatim does not warrant that the Products will operate in any specific combination that may be selected for use by Customer or that the operation of the Products will be uninterrupted or error free, or that all non-conformance or defects will be remedied. Additionally, Verbatim shall have no warranty obligations for any failure of the Products to conform to the applicable product specifications resulting from the combination of any Product(s) with hardware and/or software not supplied by Verbatim. If it is determined that any Product(s) reported as defective or non-conforming by Customer during the warranty period is not defective or non-conforming, Verbatim may, at its option, charge Customer for any labor provided and expenses incurred by Verbatim in connection with such determination, at Verbatim’s then current rates.
