The Agreement, together with any other documents incorporated herein by reference and all related Exhibits, constitutes the sole and entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter thereof and hereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, and representations and warranties, both written and oral, with respect to such subject matter.

15.5. Notices. All notices, requests, consents, claims, demands, waivers, and other communications hereunder (each, a “Notice”) must be in writing and addressed to the parties at the addresses set forth on the Agreement (or to such other address that may be designated by the party giving Notice from time to time in accordance with this Section). All Notices must be delivered by personal delivery, nationally recognized overnight courier (with all fees pre-paid), or email (with confirmation of transmission) or certified or registered mail (in each case, return receipt requested, postage pre-paid). Except as otherwise provided in the Agreement, a Notice is effective only: (i) upon receipt by the receiving party; and (ii) if the party giving the Notice has complied with the requirements of this Section.

15.6. Force Majeure. In no event shall Provider be liable to Customer, or be deemed to have breached the Agreement, for any failure or delay in performing its obligations under this Agreement, if and to the extent such failure or delay is caused by any circumstances beyond Provider’s reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, flood, fire, earthquake, explosion, epidemic or pandemic, war, terrorism, invasion, riot or other civil unrest, strikes, labor stoppages or slowdowns or other industrial disturbances, or passage of law or any action taken by a governmental or public authority, including imposing an embargo.

15.7. Amendment. Provider may revise and update these Terms from time to time in its sole discretion. In such event, Provider will give notice of such revision or update by emailing you, posting a notice on the Software, or by any other method reasonably determined by Provider. Your continued use of any Services after any such revision or update will constitute your agreement to such revision or update, unless you object thereto within thirty (30) days of the date of notice of such revision or update, in which case the previous version of these Terms shall control your continued use of the Services for the remainder of the then-current Term. If the Term of your Agreement automatically renews, the new version of these Terms shall control your continued use of the Services following auto-renewal of the Term, even if you have timely objected to the new Terms in writing. If you do not wish to be controlled by the new Terms, your sole remedy is to discontinue your use of the Services by cancelling the automatic renewal of your Term in accordance with your Agreement.

15.8. Waiver. No waiver by any party of any of the provisions hereof will be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and signed by the party so waiving. Except as otherwise set forth in the Agreement, (i) no failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any rights, remedy, power, or privilege arising from the Agreement will operate or be construed as a waiver thereof and (ii) no single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power, or privilege hereunder will preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power, or privilege.

15.9. Severability. If any provision of the Agreement is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability will not affect any other term or provision of the Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify the Agreement so as to effect their original intent as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

15.10. Governing Law. The Agreement is governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of California without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule that would require or permit the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than those of the State of California.

15.11. Arbitration. Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of, relating to, or in connection with any Services or the Agreement or any breach, termination or validity thereof (each, a “Dispute”), shall be resolved exclusively by final and binding arbitration to be held with ADR Services, Inc. (“ADR”) in Los Angeles County, California, in accordance with ADR’s Arbitration Rules in effect at such time (the “Rules”), before a single neutral arbitrator chosen by the written consent of the parties, or, if such parties are unable to agree within thirty (30) days after the demand for arbitration is filed and served, a single neutral arbitrator shall be chosen in accordance with the Rules. Any dispute regarding arbitrability of any issue arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall be determined by the arbitrator, which determination shall be conclusive. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.

15.12. Assignment. Customer may not assign any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations hereunder, in each case whether voluntarily, involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of Provider. For purposes of the preceding sentence, and without limiting its generality, any merger, consolidation, or reorganization involving Customer (regardless of whether Customer is a surviving or disappearing entity) will be deemed to be a transfer of rights, obligations, or performance under this Agreement for which Provider's prior written consent is required. No assignment, delegation, or transfer will relieve Customer of any of its obligations or performance under this Agreement. Any purported assignment or delegation in violation of this Section will be null and void. This Agreement is binding upon and inures to the benefit of the parties and their respective permitted successors and permitted assigns.

15.13. Export Regulation. Customer shall comply with all applicable federal laws, regulations, and rules, and complete all required undertakings (including obtaining any necessary export license or other governmental approval), that prohibit or restrict the export or re-export of the Software or any Customer Data outside the United States.

15.14. Equitable Relief. Each party acknowledges and agrees that a breach or threatened breach by such party of any of its obligations under Section 8 or, in the case of Customer, Section 3.1, would cause the other party irreparable harm for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy and agrees that, in the event of such breach or threatened breach, the other party will be entitled to equitable relief, including a restraining order, an injunction, specific performance and any other relief that may be available from any court, without any requirement to post a bond or other security, or to prove actual damages or that monetary damages are not an adequate remedy. Such remedies are not exclusive and are in addition to all other remedies that may be available at law, in equity or otherwise.
