The following provisions of these Terms will survive any termination of the Agreement: 3 (Content and Data), 4 (Intellectual Property Rights), 6 (Indemnification), 7 (Fees).
9) Warranties.
a) Korn Ferry warrants that the Site will perform substantially in accordance with the Documentation and that Services will be performed in a professional and workmanlike manner. As Client’s sole remedy for defective Services, Korn Ferry will repair or replace such Services. Korn Ferry represents and warrants that it will exercise commercially reasonable efforts, including the use of industry standard methods to detect and protect electronically delivered materials against malicious program code insertions, and Korn Ferry will not knowingly introduce into the Site or other electronically delivered materials any virus or other malicious code.
b) EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 9 (WARRANTIES), THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. KORN FERRY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS (TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMISSIBLE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW) ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THE AGREEMENT, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT AND WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE. KORN FERRY DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE OPERATION OF THE SERVICES WILL BE COMPLETELY SECURE, ERROR-FREE OR UNINTERRUPTED, OR THAT ALL ERRORS WILL BE CORRECTED.
10) Korn Ferry reserves the right to substitute or migrate the Programs and features provided as part of the Membership at any time, provided that Korn Ferry continues to provide Programs and features with similar or better functionality for the remainder of the Term.
11) Rescheduling.
a) If Other Services are included within the Services, the following Rescheduling policy will apply. Korn Ferry will schedule and commit personnel and resources to provide the Services. Korn Ferry understands that Client’s business conditions may change; however, rescheduling on short notice impacts Korn Ferry’s business and its ability to provide outstanding service to all of its customers. Client may reschedule the provision of Other Services by paying the following fees in addition to the associated fees for any Services rendered. These fees are a genuine pre-estimate of Korn Ferry’s losses as a result of such rescheduling and are reflective of the value of the lost bookings for Korn Ferry for the time scheduled and fees which otherwise have been earned by the team leader, team members and other resources, and are not penalties. If Client fails to provide Korn Ferry with documentation, information, or access to its personnel that impacts Korn Ferry’s ability to meet the completion date or Client otherwise delays the completion date, Korn Ferry reserves the right to charge Client a rescheduling fee as set forth below.
i) If rescheduling more than 20 business days before the scheduled program, meeting or session, Client will pay the Actual Expenses incurred as a result of the rescheduling.
ii) If rescheduling 20 or fewer business days before the scheduled program, meeting or session, rescheduling fees will be calculated based on the number of business days’ notice provided as shown in the table below, plus Actual Expenses incurred.
