Upon demand, Customer shall pay all such interest charges and all reasonable collection fees, including reasonable legal expenses.

   3. warrant the repaired or replaced Hardware or Software for a period of ninety (90) days or the remainder of the original Warranty Period, whichever is longer.
4. No Fault Found. If Sendum is, despite reasonable commercial efforts, unable to find a fault with Hardware or Software returned by Customer under the warranty:

   2. modifications, alterations or enhancements of the Hardware or Software not created or provided by Sendum;
   3. any patent, copyright or trade secret which Customer or any of its affiliates owns or to which they have exclusive interest;
