Customer agrees that upon Company’s assumption of the defense of the Services Claim: (a) Company will not be liable to Customer for any legal costs or expenses subsequently incurred by Customer in connection with the Services Claim; (b) such assumption is not an acknowledgment by Company that it is liable to indemnify Customer in respect of the Services Claim; and (c) it will not constitute a waiver by Company of any defenses it may assert against the Customer if Customer claims it is owed indemnification for such Services Claim.

Except as otherwise specified in the applicable Ordering Document or where prohibited by applicable Law, the Ordering Document and all non-expiring items added during the course of the Order Term, will automatically renew for additional periods equal in duration to the original Order Term or one year, whichever is shorter, unless either party gives the other notice of non-renewal at least 30 days before the end of the Order Term (or, if applicable, any renewal of the Order Term).

GENERAL
- Interpretation. The headings in the Agreement do not affect its interpretation. References to sections are to sections of this Agreement. Any phrase introduced by the terms "including", "include" and "in particular" or any similar expression shall be construed as illustrative only and shall not limit the sense of the words preceding these terms. In this Agreement, unless the context requires otherwise: the singular includes the plural and vice versa; the masculine includes the feminine and vice versa.
- Force Majeure. Company will not be liable for any delays or failure in performance of any part of the Services due to any cause beyond Company's control. This includes, but is not limited to, acts of God, changes to Laws, embargoes, war, terrorist acts, riots, fires, earthquakes, nuclear accidents, floods, strikes, power blackouts, and acts of hackers or third party internet service providers.
- Notices. Notices to Customer will be effective when Company posts them to Customer’s Account or sends them to the email address associated with Customer’s Account. Notices to Company will be effective when delivered to [email protected], with a copy to [email protected].
- Governing Law. The Laws of the State of Delaware, excluding its conflict of Laws rules, will apply to any and all disputes, controversies, or claims arising out of or relating to the Services or this Agreement (“Disputes”). The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (the “Vienna Sales Convention 1980”) is excluded from this Agreement.
- Disputes. CUSTOMER AND COMPANY AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE AGAINST THE OTHER MAY ONLY BE BROUGHT ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING. CLASS ARBITRATIONS, CLASS ACTIONS, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTIONS, AND CONSOLIDATION WITH OTHER ARBITRATIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED. CUSTOMER AGREES TO WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND/OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION AGAINST COMPANY. All Disputes will be resolved finally and exclusively by binding individual arbitration with a single arbitrator administered by the American Arbitration Association (www.adr.org) or JAMS (www.jamsadr.org) according to this provision and the applicable arbitration rules for that forum. If any legal action is brought by a party 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 from the non-prevailing party. Consumer claimants (individuals whose use of the Services is intended for personal, family, or household use) may elect to pursue their claims in their local small-claims court rather than through arbitration. The Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16, fully applies. If Customer is a consumer bringing a claim relating to personal, household, or family use, any arbitration hearing will occur within the county or parish where Customer resides. Otherwise, any arbitration hearing will occur in Delaware, or another mutually agreeable location. The arbitrator’s award will be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. For purposes of this arbitration provision, references to Customer and Company also include respective subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors, successors and assigns as well as authorized Users or beneficiaries of the Services.
- Export Control. The Services made available by Company may be subject to export control Laws of the United Kingdom, United States and other jurisdictions. Customer shall comply with all applicable export Laws, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing: (a) Customer represents that it is not named on any United Kingdom or United States government list of persons or entities prohibited from receiving exports; (b) Customer will not export or re-export, directly or indirectly, any Services or Company Confidential Information to any countries except as permitted under the export Laws of the United Kingdom and United States; and (c) Customer shall not permit Users to access or use Services in violation of any United Kingdom or United States export embargo, prohibition or restriction.
- Anti-Corruption. Customer agrees that Customer has not received or been offered any illegal or improper bribe, kickback, payment, gift, or thing of value from any of Company’s employees or agents in connection with this Agreement. Reasonable gifts and entertainment provided in the ordinary course of business do not violate the above restriction. If Customer hears of any violation of the above restriction, Customer will use reasonable efforts to promptly notify Company’s Legal Department at [email protected].
- Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any right or duty under this Agreement may be transferred, assigned or delegated by Customer, by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of Company. Any purported assignment in violation of the foregoing shall be null and void ab initio. This Agreement and/or any right or duty under this Agreement may be transferred by Company without the consent of Customer. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement will be binding upon and will inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective representatives, heirs, administrators, successors and permitted assigns.
- Relationship of the Parties. The parties are independent contractors. This Agreement does not create a partnership, joint venture, agency, or fiduciary relationship between the parties. Nothing in this Agreement confers or is intended to confer any rights or remedies on any person or entity which is not a party to this Agreement.
- Non Solicitation. During the term of this Agreement, and for a period of one year thereafter, Customer shall not solicit for hire, on behalf of itself or any other organization, any personnel of the Company with whom Customer has had contact pursuant to the relationship established under this Agreement. If Customer violates this provision, Customer shall pay Company an amount equal to the aggregate compensation paid by Company to the solicited employee in the six months preceding Customer’s solicitation of such employee.
- Waivers. Any waiver by Company must be in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the Company. No waiver by a party of any breach of this Agreement by Company shall be a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach by Company. No failure or delay by Company in enforcing any right or provision under this Agreement shall be construed as Company’s waiver of such right or provision or of any other right or provision.
- Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid, illegal or otherwise unenforceable, it shall be deemed modified to render it enforceable while preserving the parties’ original intent to the fullest extent, and the rights and obligations of the parties shall be construed and enforced accordingly. If the provision cannot be modified, then that provision will be deemed severed from this Agreement and all other provisions will remain in full force and effect.
- Electronic Signatures. This Agreement and any Ordering Document may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered or transmitted by facsimile, e-mail or other electronic means, shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.
