14.5. English Language. The original of this Agreement has been written in English, and that version will govern. Freedom Ventures waives any rights it may have under any applicable law to have this Agreement written in any other language. Any versions of this Agreement in any other language will be for accommodation only and will not be binding upon any Party.

As used herein, the term “business day” means any weekday that banks are open for business in San Francisco, California.

14.7. Force Majeure.

14.8. Press Releases. No Party will make or issue any press release, public announcement or public disclosure in respect of this Agreement or the other Parties or use in advertising, publicity or other public materials the name or trademarks of the other Parties or its Affiliates without the other Parties’ prior written consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties may consent to the issuance of press releases or other public statements regarding this Agreement or the activities of the Parties hereunder upon the occurrence of certain mutually agreed upon events set forth in a Purchase Order.

14.9. Waiver. The failure by any party to enforce any provision of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of future enforcement of that or any other provision.

14.10. Severability. If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of this Agreement invalid or unenforceable, that provision of the Agreement will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the other provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect.

14.11. Number and Gender; Other Terms. Unless the context of this Agreement otherwise requires, to the extent necessary so that each clause will be given the most reasonable interpretation, the singular number will include the plural and vice versa, the verb will be construed as agreeing with the word so substituted, words importing the masculine gender will include the feminine and neuter genders, words importing persons will include firms and corporations and words importing firms and corporations will include individuals. As used in this Agreement, the term “or” shall be interpreted to mean “and/or” unless the context of the use plainly means otherwise.

14.12. Interpretation; Headings. No Party shall be deemed the drafter of this Agreement; this Agreement shall be deemed to have been jointly prepared by the Parties. If this Agreement is ever construed, whether by a court or by an arbitrator, such court or arbitrator shall not construe this Agreement or any provision hereof against any Party as the drafter. The headings used in this Agreement are used for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this Agreement. As used in this Agreement, the words “include” and “including,” and variations thereof, shall not be deemed to be terms of limitation, but rather shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.”

14.13. Equitable Relief. Freedom Ventures acknowledges that any breach of their obligations under this Agreement with respect to the proprietary rights or Confidential Information of QT will cause QT irreparable injury and significant injury for which there are inadequate remedies at law. Accordingly, QT will be entitled to obtain immediate equitable relief to enjoin any such breach, in addition to all other rights and remedies that it may have under this Agreement, at law or otherwise.

14.14. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including all schedules hereto and each Purchase Order, constitutes the complete and exclusive understanding and agreement between the parties regarding its subject matter and supercedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements or understandings, whether written or oral, relating to its subject matter. Any waiver, modification or amendment of any provision of this Agreement will be effective only if in writing and signed by duly authorized representatives of each party.

14.15. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.
