As a condition of this license, Customer agrees to include in software programs based in whole or in part on the TWAIN Toolkit the following providions in (i) the header or similar file in such software and (ii) prominently in its documentation and to require its sublicensees to include these provisions in similar locations: The TWAIN Toolkit is distributed as is. The developer and distributors of the TWAIN Toolkit expressly disclaim all implied, express or statutory warranties including, without limitation, the implied warranties of merchantability, noninfringement of third party rights and fitness for a particular purpose.
