It is agreed that because of the proprietary nature of the Software, 3CX’s and its Licensors’ remedies at law for a breach by the Licensee of its obligations under this License will be inadequate and that 3CX and its Licensors shall, in the event of such breach, be entitled to, in addition to any other remedy available to it, equitable relief, including injunctive relief, without the posting of any bond and in addition to all other remedies provided under this License or available at law.
12. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS, SOFTWARE LIMITATIONS & EMERGENCY COMMUNICATIONS
The Software does not include transmission (calling) to and from The Licensee’s location.

The Licensee is responsible for ensuring that its networks and systems are adequately secured against unauthorized intrusion or attack and for regularly backing up its data and files in accordance with good computing practices. Although 3CX is not liable for the failure of and/or any errors and/or incidence of hacks with any third-party Communications services it encourages Licensees to open a support ticket for review of any intrusion, as this could provide a valuable source of information for both parties.

In addition to purchasing communications and internet access from a third party provided, The Licensees must configure the software to enable emergency calls, position control centers or to any other emergency number available in The Licensees’ community. 3CX disclaims any express or implied warranty of fitness for such uses.
3CX shall have no liability or responsibility arising out of any communications service provided by a third party, including, but not limited to emergency services or any acts, omissions, failures or interruptions of service, negligence or other misconduct of any communications (including emergency numbers) service provider, other emergency call center provider, reseller, The Licensee or 3CX. 3CX makes no representation or warranty, express or implied, with respect to the nature, scope, extent, performance, compatibility or quality of any third party communications or internet access service, including emergency numbers or similar services. The Licensee hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless 3CX and 3CX Parties and any other communications or internet access service provider who furnishes services to The Licensee, from and against any and all claims, demands, suits, proceedings, liabilities, settlements, attorneys’ fees, costs, expenses, penalties, fines, judgments and damages of any and all kind whatsoever (including without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) by or on behalf of a The Licensee or any users, arising out of or otherwise relating to any acts, omissions, failures or interruptions of service, negligence and other misconduct of 3CX in connection with third party communications or internet access service, including but not limited to emergency numbers.
