The Company and the Alliance intend the terms and conditions of this Agreement to constitute the final, complete, and completely integrated terms and conditions to which they intend to be bound, and they do not intend to be bound by any other agreements, promises, conditions or representations, written or oral, of whatsoever kind or nature, including, without limitation, any trade usage or course of dealing which the Company and the Alliance hereby intend to be negated. |
8. | Dispute Resolution. The Parties agree to use their respective reasonable commercial efforts in good faith to resolve any disputes arising out of or related to this Agreement.

The award may be confirmed and enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. This section provides the sole recourse for the settlement of any disputes arising out of, in connection with, or related to this Agreement, except that a party may seek a preliminary injunction or other injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction if in its reasonable judgment such action is necessary to avoid irreparable harm. |
9. | Waiver. No waiver of any term or right in this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing, signed by an authorized representative of the waiving party. Any waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other provision or of the same provision in the future. |
10. | Governing Law. Any and all matters of dispute between the parties to this Agreement, whether arising from the Agreement itself or arising from alleged extra contractual facts prior to, during or subsequent to the Agreement, including, without limitation, fraud, misrepresentation, negligence or any other alleged tort or violation of the contract, shall be governed by, construed, and enforced in accordance with the laws of State of Florida, regardless of the legal theory upon which such matter is asserted, not including State of Florida choice of laws rules but including its statutes of limitations. |
