  7. Warranty
    1. Confabulate warrants that the Licensed Programs Materials will provide the facilities and functions set out in the Specification.

    3. The said warranty in Clause 7.1 shall be subject to the Licensee complying with its obligations hereunder and to there having been made no alterations to the Licensed Programs, other than those permitted by this Agreement, by any person other than Confabulate or a person authorised by Confabulate. When notifying a defect or error the Licensee shall (so far as it is able) provide Confabulate with a documented example of such defect or error.
