7.3.1. Any such purchase, lease, license or other procurement of Third-Party Products directly from the applicable third-party provider (each a “Third-Party Provider”), and any exchange of data between Company and such Third-Party Products or Third-Party Providers (whether or not such Third-Party Products are Opti-Certified Third-Party Products) is solely between Company and such Third-Party Provider; provided that, to the extent specified in the Order, Opti shall arrange for the delivery of such Third-Party Products to Company (or the applicable Client) in accordance with the Order.

In the event that Company reasonably determines that Opti Warranty Hardware is subject to any material defect or deficiency as a result of which such Opti Warranty Hardware fails to comply with the foregoing warranty, notifies Opti of such defect in writing within the corresponding Warranty Period, and (unless otherwise agreed in writing by Opti) delivers such Opti Warranty Hardware to Opti within such Warranty Period, Opti will promptly perform a root cause analysis. If as a result, Opti is able to reproduce such defect using commercially reasonable efforts, as Opti's sole liability and the sole remedy of Company, Opti shall either repair such Opti Warranty Hardware or replace such Opti Warranty Hardware with Opti Warranty Hardware that complies with the above warranty. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Opti determines that it is unable or infeasible to remedy any such defect, Opti may terminate the Order with respect to the Opti Warranty Hardware and/or refund to Company the fees previously paid to Opti for such defective Opti Warranty Hardware.
