SUBSCRIBER'S sole and exclusive remedy for breach of the foregoing warranty shall be that: a) RETIREHQ, LLC will endeavor to correct within a reasonable time any reported failure of RetireHQ to substantially conform to or perform substantially in accordance with RETIREHQ, LLC's specifications; or b) in the event that RETIREHQ, LLC shall fail or be unable for any reason to correct any failure of RetireHQ to substantially conform to or perform substantially in accordance with RETIREHQ, LLC's specifications, SUBSCRIBER may terminate this license and cease using RetireHQ, and RETIREHQ, LLC will refund to User the full amount of any license fee paid to RETIREHQ, LLC from the date any error is reported.
