The Parties agree that in such cases where irreparable damage would occur and the Parties would not have any adequate remedy at law in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or where otherwise breached, each Party shall be entitled to seek injunctive or other equitable relief, wherever such Party deems appropriate, to prevent such breaches of this Agreement or to so protect such Party’s rights under this Agreement. The foregoing remedy is in addition to any other remedy to which the Party seeking such equitable relief is entitled to at law.
25.4 Assignment. Neither Party shall assign or transfer this Agreement or all or any part of its rights hereunder, by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the other Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

In the event of any of the foregoing assignments, the assigning Party will have no further obligations or liability to the other Party under this Agreement except for obligations and liabilities that accrued before such assignment.

If the problem is found not to be caused by Supplier’s Product, CUSTOMER will be responsible for actual reasonable travel and personal expenses. If the problem is found to be caused by Supplier’s Product, Supplier shall bear its own respective costs for such services. |
| 1.1.4 | Returned Material Authorizations. If during the troubleshooting and fault isolation process, it is determined that a hardware failure is the root cause of the problem, CUSTOMER shall replace the defective product from its spares pool and then contact Supplier to initiate a Returned |

During the warranty period, Supplier shall provide CUSTOMER with any bug fixes for the firmware, when and if available, as released by Supplier and applicable to the Products supplied.
