Q2 reserves the right to modify the API or SDK, and to release subsequent versions. You may be required to use the most recent version of the API or SDK in order to obtain functionality for associated plug-ins and applications.

Some states or jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental, consequential or special damages, or the exclusion of implied warranties or limitations on how long an implied warranty may last, so the above limitations in Sections 11 and 12 may not apply to You. You may have rights which vary from state to state or jurisdiction to jurisdiction. The foregoing does not affect or prejudice Your statutory rights. To the extent permissible, any implied warranties are limited to ninety (90) days.
