(c) Use of Confidential Information. Each Party shall not, and each Party shall ensure that its officers and employees will not, whether during the term or after the termination of this Agreement, use any Confidential Information of the other Party for other purposes than the fulfillment of such Party’s obligations hereunder.
(d) Trademarks; Publicity. Except as expressly authorized herein or in the Non-Integrated Product Development Plan or Integrated ASM Development Plan, neither party shall use, or authorize to be used, the other party’s name, logo, trademarks or service marks without the prior written approval of the party owning the same, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Neither party will make any public announcement of this Agreement or the relationship contemplated hereunder (including, but not limited to, any press release, client list, advertisement or any promotional material) without the prior written approval of the other party, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, except as may be required by applicable law or securities exchange rule and except to the extent that any such public announcement is consistent with prior public announcements approved by the other party and remains accurate.
17. GENERAL PROVISIONS.
(a) Independent Contractors. Distributor and CHI are independent contractors and are engaged in the operation of their own businesses. Except as set forth herein, neither Party is to be considered the agent of the other Party for any purpose whatsoever, and neither Party has any authority to enter into any contracts or assume any obligations for the other Party or make any warranties or representations on behalf of the other Party unless agreed to in writing by the other Party.
(b) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, excluding the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, including all matters of construction, validity, performance and enforcement, without giving effect to principles of conflict of laws.
(c) Jurisdiction and Venue. Each Party submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court located in King County, Washington, U.S.A or in Suffolk County or Middlesex County, Massachusetts, U.S.A., over any suit, action or proceeding (“Action”) arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the relationship between the Parties. Each Party waives any objection to the venue of any Action brought in such court and any claim that the Action has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Each Party agrees that a final judgment in any Action brought in such court shall be conclusive and binding upon it and may be enforced in any other courts to whose jurisdiction it may be subject.
(d) Entire Agreement. This Agreement represents the entire agreement and understanding of CHI and Distributor with respect to the development, supply and distribution of the Products and supersedes all previous agreements and understandings related thereto.
(e) Amendments. This Agreement may only be amended or modified in writing signed by authorized representatives of Distributor and CHI.
(f) Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, this Agreement will continue in full force and effect without said provision and will be interpreted to reflect the original intent of the Parties. In such event, the Parties shall in good faith attempt to negotiate a substitute clause for any provision declared invalid or unenforceable, which substitute clause shall most nearly approximate the intent of the Parties in agreeing to such invalid or unenforceable provision, without itself being invalid or unenforceable.
(g) Construction Against Waiver. Waiver by either Party of a breach of any provision of this Agreement or the failure by either party to exercise any right hereunder will not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach of that provision or as a waiver of any other right.
(h) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one instrument. A facsimile signature of this Agreement shall be valid and have the same force and effect as a manually signed original.
(i) Assignment. Neither CHI nor Distributor may assign any of its rights or obligations pursuant to this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party, except to a successor to substantially all of the business of either party by merger, sale of assets, or other form of reorganization; provided, however, that Distributor may assign its rights, interests or obligations hereunder to any of its controlled affiliates without the prior consent of CHI, so long as Distributor guarantees to CHI the performance of Distributor’s obligations under this Agreement by such controlled affiliate.
(j) Notices. All notices under this Agreement must be in writing and will be deemed given if sent by facsimile (except for legal process), certified or registered mail or commercial courier (return receipt or confirmation of delivery requested), or by personal delivery to the Party to receive the notice or other communications called for by this Agreement at the addresses set forth below (or at another address for a Party as specified by a Party by like notice). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following communications may be transmitted electronically by computer access (i.e., email): (i) Purchase Orders delivered hereunder as well as CHI’s acceptance thereof and any correspondence related thereto, (ii) Quarterly Sales Reports pursuant to Section 5(g), and (iii) notices of sale of Stress MTWA Systems delivered by Distributor to CHI pursuant to Section 8(c). Electronic communications shall be considered signed by a party if they contain an agreed upon electronic identification symbol or code. Electronic documents shall be deemed received by a party when accessible by the Receiving Party on its computer system.
