No Waiver. No delay or failure to act in the event of a breach of the Agreement will be deemed a waiver of that or any subsequent breach of any provision of the Agreement. Any remedies at law or equity not specifically disclaimed or modified by the Agreement remain available to both Parties.

Governing Law. The Agreement and the rights and obligations of the Parties will be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of California as applied to agreements entered into and to be performed entirely within California between California residents, without regard to conflicts of law principles. The Parties expressly agree that the provisions of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods will not apply to the Agreement or to their relationship.

Dispute Resolution, Jurisdiction and Venue. If there is a dispute between the Parties, the Parties agree that they will first attempt to resolve the dispute through one senior management member of each Party named as a representative of the Party to resolve the dispute. If they are unable to do so within 60 days after the complaining Party’s written notice to the other Party, the parties will then seek to resolve the dispute through non-binding mediation conducted in Santa Clara County or San Francisco County, California. Each Party must bear its own expenses in connection with the mediation and must share equally the fees and expenses of the mediator. If the Parties are unable to resolve the dispute within 60 days after commencing mediation, either Party may commence litigation in the state or federal courts in Santa Clara County, California. The Parties irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of those courts and agree that final judgment in any action or proceeding brought in such courts will be conclusive and may be enforced in any other jurisdiction by suit on the judgment (a certified copy of which will be conclusive evidence of the judgment) or in any other manner provided by law. Process served personally or by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, will constitute adequate service of process in any such action, suit or proceeding. Each party irrevocably waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law (i) any objection it may have to the laying of venue in any court referred to above; (ii) any claim that any such action or proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum; and (iii) any immunity that it or its assets may have from any suit, execution, attachment (whether provisional or final, in aid of execution, before judgment or otherwise) or other legal process. The terms of this provision apply whether or not the dispute arises out of or relates to the Agreement, unless the dispute is governed by a separate written agreement.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the immediately preceding paragraph, either party may seek equitable relief in order to protect its Confidential Information, Intellectual Property Rights, or other rights under the Agreement at any time, before any court of competent jurisdiction under applicable law. The parties hereby waive any bond requirements for obtaining equitable relief.

Construction. The section headings in the Agreement are for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting the Agreement. References to sections, schedules, exhibits, and SOWs are references to sections of, and exhibits, schedules and SOWs to, the Agreement, and the word “herein” and words of similar meaning refer to the Agreement in its entirety and not to any particular section or provision. The phrase “third party” means any person, partnership, corporation or other entity not a party to the Agreement. The words “will” and “shall” are used in a mandatory, not a permissive, sense, and the word “including” is intended to be exemplary, not exhaustive, and will be deemed followed by “without limitation. Any requirement to obtain a Party’s consent is a requirement to obtain such consent in each instance.

Severability. If a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of the Agreement unlawful or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible so as to effect the intent of the parties, and the remainder of the Agreement will continue in full force and effect.

Counterparts. The Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but which collectively will constitute one and the same instrument.
