10. GENERAL.
a. Law. This License Agreement shall be construed, interpreted and
governed by the laws of the State of Arizona without regard to its conflict
of law provisions. The parties hereby consent to the exclusive jurisdiction
of the courts of Arizona State, waive any right to object to said
jurisdiction based upon convenience or other bases, and further agree that
any cause of action arising under this Agreement shall be brought
exclusively in a court in Maricopa County Arizona.
b. Entire Agreement. This License Agreement shall constitute the entire
Agreement between the parties hereto. Any waiver or modification of this
License Agreement shall only be effective if it is in writing and signed by
both parties hereto.
c. No Waiver. No waiver of any provision hereof or of any right or
remedy hereunder shall be effective unless in writing and signed by the
party against whom such waiver is sought to be enforced. No delay in
exercising, no course of dealing with respect to, or no partial exercise of
any right or remedy hereunder shall constitute a waiver of any other right
or remedy, or future exercise thereof.
d. Severability. If any part of this License Agreement is found invalid
or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, it shall be adjusted
rather than voided, if possible, in order to achieve the intent of the
parties to the extent possible, and the enforceability of the remaining
provisions shall be unimpaired.
e. Limitations. No action, regardless of form, arising out of this
Agreement may be brought by you more than two (2) years after such cause of
action shall have accrued.
f. Assignment. You may not assign, sublicense, transfer, pledge,
lease, rent or share your rights under this License Agreement. Brian Stevens may
assign or delegate this Agreement or any right or obligation hereunder, by
operation of law or otherwise, to any entity.
g. Dispute Resolution Process. Should a dispute arise between the
parties under or relating to this Agreement, you agree to notify Brian Stevens in
writing as promptly as possible of any such dispute, including any dispute
as to whether an event of default has occurred, and each party agrees that
prior to initiating any formal proceeding against the other (except for the
seeking of injunctive relief), the parties will each designate a
representative for purposes of resolving this dispute. If the parties'
representatives are unable to resolve the dispute within ten (10) business
days, either may, upon written notice to the other party, require that the
dispute be submitted to more senior representatives within each party (the
'Senior Representatives'). The Senior Representatives of each party shall
meet as soon as possible to negotiate in good faith to resolve the dispute.
If the Senior Representatives are unable to resolve the dispute within ten
(10) business days after submission of the dispute to them, or such longer
period for resolution as may be mutually agreed in writing by the Senior
Representatives, the dispute shall be settled by binding arbitration
administered by and under the then-current rules of the American Arbitration
Association ('AAA'). The location of any such proceeding shall be Maricopa County,
Arizona. Judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered
by any court having jurisdiction thereof. Any arbitrator shall be bound by
the express terms of this Agreement and shall not change or modify any terms
of this Agreement or make any award of damages in excess of that set forth
in this Agreement or grant any relief not expressly set forth herein.
h. Survival. The respective rights and obligations of the parties with
respect to Section 2 [Ownership], Section 5 [Disclaimer of Warranty],
Section 6 [Limitation of Liability], Section 8 [Confidentiality and
Non-Disclosure], and this Section 9 [General Provisions] shall survive any
termination or expiration of this Agreement.
i. Remedies. The
rights and remedies of the parties as set forth in
this Agreement are not exclusive and are in addition to any other rights and
remedies available to them in law or in equity.
11.
U.S. GOVERNMENT RESTRICTED RIGHTS. The Software (including
the Documentation) is provided with RESTRICTED RIGHTS. Use, duplication, or
disclosure by the Government is subject to restrictions as set forth in
subparagraph (c)(1)(ii) of the Rights in Technical Data and Computer
Software clause of DFARS 252.227-7013 [Rights in Technical Data -
Non-Commercial Items] or subparagraph (c)(1) and (2) of the Commercial
Computer Software-Restricted Rights clause at 48 CFR 52.227-19 as amended,
