Yes. UCITA allows software publishers to sell their products “as is” and to disclaim liability for product shortcomings. Imagine buying a refrigerator or stove where the producer does not guarantee that the product will work correctly! If the consumers wants to sue over a defect, UCITA allows the software publisher to restrict legal action to a specific jurisdiction — a particular county, state or even a different country.
