Legitimizing theory Sample Clauses

Legitimizing theory. As well as by its relationship to practice, the character of a theory is determined by the way in which statements are underpinned. That foundation in fact determines the ‘strictness’ of the theory. A (formal) mathematical theory is in that sense a strict theory that all statements can be verified (proven) based on the given concepts, relations and axioms. Statements in a purely empirical theory – for instance Gestalt theory – are often founded on and tested through field experiments. The validity however is of a different caliber than that of a formal theory, where statements can for instance be labeled with one of two values: true or untrue. Statements in an empirical theory have a degree of truth that can at best be expressed in a degree of probability (smaller than 1). According to the empirical part of the theory of learning and teaching multiplication, statements are mainly empirically justified by experiments and achieving consensus within a paradigm, against the background of learning-teaching principles and goals. Within such a practical theory ‘clarifying and predicting’ as well as ‘explaining and understanding’ have therefore often the function of theoretical justification of practice- oriented goals and activities. The yield for ‘users’ of the theory is high; teachers who have such a theory, can ‘see’ more in similar teaching situations and can therefore think and talk about them in a more differentiated manner (Xxx & Xxxxx, 1990; Xxxxxxxxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxxxx, 1993). The consensus and validity together with the relationship to practice – especially the relevant causality process (Xxxxxxx, 2004) – , provide the scientific basis for the theory of learning and teaching to multiply.

If usage shall be enjoined for any reason or if Contractor believes that it may be enjoined, Contractor shall have the right, at its own expense and sole discretion to take action in the following order of precedence: (i) to procure for the Authorized User the right to continue Usage (ii) to modify the service or Product so that Usage becomes non-infringing, and is of at least equal quality and performance; or (iii) to replace said service or Product or part(s) thereof, as applicable, with non-infringing service or Product of at least equal quality and performance. If the above remedies are not available, the parties shall terminate the Contract, in whole or in part as necessary and applicable, provided the Authorized User is given a refund for any amounts paid for the period during which Usage was not feasible. The foregoing provisions as to protection from third party rights shall not apply to any infringement occasioned by modification by the Authorized User of any Product without Contractor’s approval. In the event that an action at law or in equity is commenced against the Authorized User arising out of a claim that the Authorized User's use of the service or Product under the Contract infringes any patent, copyright or proprietary right, and Contractor is of the opinion that the allegations in such action in whole or in part are not covered by the indemnification and defense provisions set forth in the Contract, Contractor shall immediately notify the Authorized User and the Office of the Attorney General in writing and shall specify to what extent Contractor believes it is obligated to defend and indemnify under the terms and conditions of the Contract. Contractor shall in such event protect the interests of the Authorized User and secure a continuance to permit the Authorized User to appear and defend its interests in cooperation with Contractor, as is appropriate, including any jurisdictional defenses the Authorized User may have. This constitutes the Authorized User’s sole and exclusive remedy for patent infringement, or for infringement of any other third party proprietary right.
