SECTION 8 MISCELLANEOUS

8.1 Governing Law and Dispute Resolution. This Agreement, and any disputes arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, USA, excluding its rules governing conflicts of laws that would result in the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.

The courts located within San Francisco, California, USA shall have exclusive jurisdiction to adjudicate any disputes arising out of or in connection with this Agreement; provided, however, the Parties will have the right to seek relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to prevent or enjoin any unauthorized use, disclosure, misappropriation or infringement of any Intellectual Property or Confidential Information. The Parties hereby consent to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located in San Francisco, California, USA, for the resolution of disputes hereunder. The prevailing Party in any legal proceeding brought by one Party against the other Party and arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall be entitled to recover its legal expenses, including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees.

8.2 Assignment. Neither Party will have the right or power to assign, delegate or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations arising under this Agreement without the prior written authorization of the other Party, and such assignment, delegation or other transfer will then be effective only upon written agreement of the assignee, delegate or transferee to assume and be bound by the terms, conditions and limitations of this Agreement to the same extent it would have been bound had such assignee, delegate or transferee been an original Party to this Agreement; provided, however, that the prior written authorization of the other Party will not be required for any Party to assign, delegate, subcontract or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations arising under this Agreement to a Related Party.

8.3 Independent Contractors.

Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed (a) to constitute the Parties as principal and agent, franchisor and franchisee, partners, joint venturers, co-owners or otherwise as participants in a joint undertaking, or (b) to authorize either Party to enter into any contract, agreement into which it is not authorized to enter or other binding obligation on the part of the other Party, unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties in writing, from time to time. Neither Party shall represent to any third party that it is authorized to enter into any contract or other binding obligation on behalf of the other Party.

8.4 Waivers. The failure of either Party to assert any of its rights hereunder, including but not limited to the right to terminate this Agreement due to a breach or default by another Party, will not be deemed to constitute a waiver by that Party of its right thereafter to enforce each and every provision of this Agreement in accordance with its terms.

8.5 Headings. The subject headings of this Agreement are included for purposes of convenience only and will not affect the construction or interpretation of any provision of this Agreement.

8.6 Severability. In the event that any provision hereof is found invalid or unenforceable pursuant to a final judicial decree or decision, the remainder of this Agreement will remain valid and enforceable according to its terms. In the event of such partial invalidity, the Parties shall seek in good faith to agree on replacing any such legally invalid provision with a provision which, in effect, will most nearly and fairly approach the effect of the invalid provision.

8.7 Notices. All notices, reports, invoices and other communications between the Parties shall be sent in any manner agreed upon by the Parties, including by facsimile or electronic mail, by registered mail, postage prepaid and return receipt requested, or by overnight courier. All such communications shall be sent to a Party at the address shown at the beginning of this Agreement or to such other address of which the receiving Party has given prior notice to the sending Party. All such communications shall be effective upon receipt by the sender of confirmation of the delivery or, where no such confirmation is possible, when received.

This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings and communications between the Parties, whether written or oral, relating to the same subject matter. No modification, amendments or supplements to this Agreement shall be binding upon the Parties unless in writing and executed by the duly authorized representative of each of the Parties.
