That's terrific, but if you are following up with a point that is
largely one of symantics, the least you could do is tell us something
interesting about the type of software that your company is offering.

To get back to the point, this type of warranty is not that uncommon --
it is more or less a "satisfaction guaranteed" arrangement, and the 
liability is typically limited to the purchase price of the software.

What is never (er, almost never) done is to assume liability for
losses resulting from the use of software.
