The Parties will evenly split the cost of the arbitrator’s fees, but each Party will bear their own attorneys’ fees and other costs associated with the arbitration. Both Parties agree that this arbitration provision may be enforced by injunction or other equitable order, and no bond or security of any kind will be required with respect to any such injunction or order. In addition, and notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party will be entitled to seek immediate injunctive relief from a court of competent jurisdiction. Disputes must be brought to arbitration within the applicable period under law or they are waived.
Governing Law. This Agreement will be interpreted, construed, and enforced in all respects in accordance with the local laws of the State of California, and not including the provisions of the 1980 U.N. Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Subject to the arbitration provision in Section 11.8, each Party hereby irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the federal, state, and local courts in San Francisco, California in connection with any action arising out of or in connection with this Agreement.
Waiver. The waiver by either Party of any breach of any provision of this Agreement does not waive any other breach. The failure of any Party to insist on strict performance of any covenant or obligation in accordance with this Agreement will not be a waiver of such Party’s right to demand strict compliance in the future, nor will the same be construed as a novation of this Agreement.
Severability. If any part of this Agreement is found to be illegal, unenforceable, or invalid, the remaining portions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect. If any material limitation or restriction on the use of the Service under this Agreement is found to be illegal, unenforceable, or invalid, Client’s right to use Service will immediately terminate.
Interpretation. For purposes of this Agreement, (i) the words “include,” “includes” and “including” will be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation;”; (ii) the words “such as”, “for example” “e.g.” and any derivatives of those words will mean by way of example and the items that follow these words will not be deemed an exhaustive list; (iii) the word “or” is used in the inclusive sense of “and/or” and the terms “or,” “any,” and “either” are not exclusive; (iv) the words “herein,” “hereof,” “hereby,” “hereto” and “hereunder” refer to this Agreement as a whole; (v) words denoting the singular have a comparable meaning when used in the plural, and vice-versa; and (vi) whenever the context may require, any pronouns used in this Agreement will include the corresponding masculine, feminine or neuter forms, and the singular form of nouns and pronouns will include the plural, and vice versa. The headings set forth in this Agreement are for convenience of reference purposes only and will not affect or be deemed to affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement or any term or provision hereof. Any law defined or referred to herein means such law as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented, including (in the case of statutes) by succession of comparable successor laws.
Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including all attachments, is the final and complete expression of the agreement between these Parties regarding the subject matter hereof. This Agreement supersedes, and the terms of this Agreement govern, all previous oral and written communications regarding these matters, all of which are merged into this Agreement, except that this Agreement does not supersede any prior nondisclosure or comparable agreement between the Parties executed prior to this Agreement being executed, nor does it affect the validity of any agreements between the Parties relating to other products or services of Company that are not described in an Order Form and with respect to which Client has executed a separate agreement with Company that remains in effect. No employee, agent, or other representative of Company has any authority to bind Company with respect to any statement, representation, warranty, or other expression unless the same is specifically set forth in this Agreement. No usage of trade or other regular practice or method of dealing between the Parties will be used to modify, interpret, supplement, or alter the terms of this Agreement. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of an Order Form, the terms of the Order Form will prevail. This Agreement may be changed only by a written agreement signed by an authorized agent of the Party against whom enforcement is sought. Company will not be bound by, and specifically objects to, any term, condition, or other provision that is different from or in addition to this Agreement (whether or not it would materially alter this Agreement) that is proffered by Client in any receipt, acceptance, confirmation, correspondence, or otherwise, unless Company specifically provides a written acceptance of such provision signed by an authorized agent of Company.
