the extent such Claim arises from or relates to any breach of this Agreement by

10/TERM AND TERMINATION

11/MISCELLANEOUS
1. Governing Law and Venue.
This Agreement and any action related thereto will be
governed and interpreted by and under the laws of the State of Arizona, without
giving effect to any conflicts of laws principles that require the application
of the law of a different jurisdiction. Subscriber hereby expressly consents to
the personal jurisdiction and venue in the state and federal courts for the
county in which Company’s principal place of business is located for any
lawsuit filed there against Subscriber by Company arising from or related to
this Agreement. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the
International Sale of Goods does not apply to this Agreement. The laws of the
jurisdiction where Subscriber is located may be different from California law.
Subscriber shall always comply with all international and domestic laws,
ordinances, regulations, and statutes that are applicable to its purchase and
use of the Software, Data Collection Devices, Documentation, or Services
hereunder.
2. Severability.
If any provision of this Agreement is, for any reason, held to be
invalid or unenforceable, the other provisions of this Agreement will remain
enforceable and the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed modified
so that it is valid and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Subscriber agrees that the
section titled Limitation of Liability will remain in effect notwithstanding
the unenforceability of any provision in the subsection titled Limited
Warranty.
3. Waiver.
Any waiver or failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement on one
occasion will not be deemed a waiver of any other provision or of such
provision on any other occasion.
4. Remedies.
Company’s rights and remedies under this Agreement are cumulative.
Subscriber acknowledges that the Services, Data Collection Devices, Software,
and Documentation contain valuable trade secrets and proprietary information of
Company, that any actual or threatened breach of the sections titled
Intellectual Property or Confidentiality or any other breach by Subscriber of
its obligations with respect to Intellectual Property Rights of Company will
constitute immediate, irreparable harm to Company for which monetary damages
would be an inadequate remedy. In such case, Company will be entitled to
immediate injunctive relief without the requirement of posting bond, including
an order that any Software, Data Collection Devices, Documentation, or any
portions thereof that Subscriber attempts to import into any country or
territory be seized, impounded and destroyed by customs officials. If any legal
action is brought to enforce this Agreement, the prevailing party will be
entitled to receive its attorneys’ fees, court costs, and other collection
expenses, in addition to any other relief it may receive.
5. No Assignment.
Subscriber shall not assign, subcontract, delegate, or otherwise
transfer this Agreement, or its rights and obligations herein, without obtaining
the prior written consent of Company, and any attempted assignment,
subcontract, delegation, or transfer in violation of the foregoing will be null
and void. Company may freely assign this Agreement or delegate its obligations
hereunder, in whole or in part, to any third party provided that such third
party agrees to be bound by the terms hereof. The terms of this Agreement shall
be binding upon the parties and their respective successors and permitted
assigns.
6. Force Majeure.
Any delay in the performance of any duties or obligations of either
party (except the payment of money owed) will not be considered a breach of
this Agreement if such delay is caused by a labor dispute, shortage of
materials, fire, earthquake, flood, or any other event beyond the control of
such party, provided that such party uses reasonable efforts, under the
circumstances, to notify the other party of the cause of such delay and to
resume performance as soon as possible.
7. Independent Contractors.
Subscriber’s relationship to Company is that of an
independent contractor, and neither party is an agent, employee, or partner of
the other. Subscriber will not have, and will not represent to any third party
that it has, any authority to act on behalf of Company.
8. Notices.
Each party must deliver all notices or other communications required or
permitted under this Agreement in writing to the other party at the address
listed on the first page of the Agreement by courier, by certified or
registered mail (postage prepaid and return receipt requested), or by a
nationally-recognized express mail service. Notice will be effective upon
receipt or refusal of delivery. If delivered by certified or registered mail,
any such notice will be considered to have been given five (5) business days after
it was mailed, as evidenced by the postmark. If delivered by courier or express
mail service, any such notice shall be considered to have been given on the
delivery date reflected by the courier or express mail service receipt. Each
party may change its address for receipt of notice by giving notice of such
change to the other party.
9. Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of
which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall be taken together and
deemed to be one instrument.
10. Entire Agreement.
This Agreement is the final, complete and exclusive
agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matters hereof and
supersedes and merges all prior discussions between the parties with respect to
such subject matters. No modification of or amendment to this Agreement, or any
waiver of any rights under this Agreement, will be effective unless in writing
and signed by an authorized signatory of Subscriber and the Company. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, if Subscriber has previously
submitted a purchase order to Company regarding the Services, then Subscriber
expressly agrees that any terms and conditions in such purchase order, that are
additional to or different from the terms and conditions of this Agreement, are
superseded by the terms and conditions of this Agreement, are expressly
excluded from this Agreement, and shall not, in any manner whatsoever, apply to
this Agreement, notwithstanding any language in such purchase order that would purport
to supersede any terms and conditions of this Agreement.
12/CONFIDENTIALITY
1. Confidential Information.
The Software, Services, Data Collection Devices and
Documentation are the Confidential Information of Company. Subscriber agrees
that it will not use or disclose to any third party any Confidential
Information of the Company, except as expressly permitted under this Agreement.
Subscriber will limit access to the Confidential Information to Authorized
Users who have confidentiality obligations no less restrictive than those set
forth herein, and who have been informed of the confidential nature of such information.
In addition, Subscriber will protect the Company’s Confidential Information
from unauthorized use, access, or disclosure in the same manner that it
protects its own proprietary information of a similar nature, but in no event
with less than reasonable care. At Company’s request or upon termination of
this Agreement, Subscriber will return to Company or destroy (or permanently
erase in the case of electronic files) all copies of the Confidential
Information that Subscriber has in its possession at the time of such request
or as of the effective date of termination, and, if requested by Company,
Subscriber shall provide to Company a written affidavit certifying compliance
with this sentence.
