12. GENERAL TERMS
12.1 Assignment. This Agreement will bind and inure to the benefit of each Party’s permitted successors and assigns. This Agreement and any Order may not be resold, assigned or otherwise transferred to another person or entity without Our written permission. Any attempt to transfer or assign this Agreement except as expressly authorized under this Section will be null and void.
12.2 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable by competent authority, such provision shall be construed so as to be limited or reduced to be enforceable to the maximum extent compatible with the law as it then appears. The total invalidity or unenforceability of any particular provision of this Agreement will not affect the other provisions hereof and this Agreement will be construed in all respects as if such invalid or unenforceable provision were omitted.
12.3 Dispute Resolution. Before either Party seeks any form of legal relief (except for a provisional remedy as explicitly set forth in Section 12.5 (Injunctive Relief)), the Party shall provide written notice to the other Party of the specific issue(s) in dispute (and reference the relevant provisions of the contract between the Parties that are allegedly being breached). Within 10 business days after such notice, knowledgeable executives of the Parties shall hold at least one meeting (in person or by video- or tele-conference) for the purpose of attempting in good faith to resolve the dispute. If the matter has not been resolved within 30 business days from the referral of the dispute to the executives, or if no meeting of the executives has taken place within 10 business days after the referral, either Party may initiate mediation as follows. The dispute shall be submitted to mediation to the American Arbitration Association, JAMS, or another mediator mutually agreed upon by the Parties. The mediation will be administered at the mediator’s office location closest to the Party requesting mediation or by video-conference. If the mediation process has not resolved the dispute within 30 business days, or such longer time if agreed by the Parties, the mediation process will cease and either Party may bring an action in court. If a negotiator intends to be accompanied at a meeting by an attorney, the other negotiator will be given at least three days’ notice of such intention and may also be accompanied by an attorney. All negotiations pursuant to this provision are confidential and will be treated as compromise and settlement negotiations for purposes of the Federal Rules of Evidence and state rules of evidence. The dispute resolution procedures in this Section will not apply to claims subject to indemnification under Section 10 (Indemnification) or prior to a Party seeking a provisional remedy related to claims of misappropriation or ownership of intellectual property, trade secrets or Confidential Information.
12.4 Governing Law; Jurisdiction and Venue. This Agreement is governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, USA, expressly excluding the application of its conflicts of law’s provisions. Venue will be exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Contra Costa County, CA. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to this Agreement.
12.5 Injunctive Relief. Either Party may enforce any provision of this Agreement by obtaining equitable relief, in addition to all other remedies at law or under this Agreement. The Parties’ remedies at law for a breach of any provision of this Agreement, including for the breach or threatened breach of Our rights in the Subscription Services, are inadequate and the non-breaching Party will suffer irreparable harm from any such breach. The rights and remedies of the Parties under this Agreement are cumulative and not alternative and are in addition to any other right or remedy set forth in any other agreement between the Parties, or which may now or subsequently exist at law or in equity, by statute or otherwise.
12.6 Notice. Any notice or communication required or permitted under this Agreement will be in writing delivered to the Parties at the addresses for notice set forth on the first page of this Agreement or at such other address as may be given in writing by either Party to the other in accordance with this Section and will be deemed to have been received by the addressee: (a) if given by hand, immediately upon receipt; (b) if given by overnight courier service, the first business day following dispatch; or (c) if given by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid and return receipt requested, the second business day after such notice is deposited in the mail.
12.7 Waivers. No waiver will be implied from conduct or failure to enforce or exercise rights under this Agreement, nor will any waiver be effective unless in a writing signed by a duly authorized representative on behalf of the Party claimed to have waived.
12.8 Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement, its Exhibits, Orders, and any terms located at a URL referenced herein, including the Acceptable Use Policy, and any purchase confirmation, receipt, and invoice You receive from Us, constitute the entire agreement between the Parties respecting Your use of the Subscription Services and Professional Services, and supersede any prior written or oral agreements between the Parties. Except as set forth in this Section, any variation in the terms and conditions of this Agreement in any document not signed by You and Us will be of no force and effect.
12.9 Third Party Beneficiaries. There are no third-party beneficiaries under this Agreement except as set forth in Section 10 (Indemnification).
12.10 Force Majeure. If a Party cannot comply with this Agreement because of an event beyond its reasonable control, such as pandemic, epidemic, fire, order of a court of competent jurisdiction (other than an order in any action to which the affected Party was a party), executive decree or order, act of God or public enemy, war, riot, civil commotion, earthquake, accident, explosion, casualty or embargo (except for a failure to pay Fees), then its performance under this Agreement (to the extent affected) will be suspended while the event occurs. In addition, We shall not be liable for failure to perform hereunder due to the inability of You, Us, or any other person to connect to the Internet, or any other failure or unavailability of the Subscription Services or Internet connectivity due to fiber optic cable cuts, interruption or failure of digital transmission links, hacker attacks, acts of nature, or any other cause beyond Our control or exercise of Our rights under this Agreement.
12.11 Independent Contractors. The Parties are independent contractors. There is no relationship of partnership, joint venture, employment, franchise or agency created hereby between the Parties. Neither Party has the power to bind the other or incur obligations on the other Party’s behalf without the other Party’s prior written consent.
