ACADIA shall, at Xxxxxxxxx’x expense and written direction, dispose of the noncompliant Product or deliver it to such destination as Xxxxxxxxx shall specify in writing, provided that such directions are in compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations.

In the event that such Force Majeure Event cannot be removed or overcome within [***] days (or such other period as the Parties jointly shall determine) from the date the Party affected first became affected, then either Party may at any time after the expiration of such period, by written notice to the other Party, either (i) suspend this Agreement for as long as such Force Majeure Event continues to exist, or (ii) terminate this Agreement with immediate effect.

Unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing (including as expressly provided in any MSA Attachment), the terms outlined in this Agreement shall prevail over any terms and conditions outlined in any MSA Attachment or purchase order for Services or Product and any general terms and conditions of a Party, and such terms and conditions are hereby expressly excluded. In case of discrepancies between this Agreement and an Annex hereto, the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail.
13.5No assignment. This Agreement and each MSA Attachment is binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their successors and permitted assigns.

Any other assignment or delegation by either Party without the prior written consent of the other Party is void.
13.6No waiver. The failure by either Party at any time to enforce any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement or to exercise any right hereunder shall not constitute or be construed to constitute a waiver of the same or affect that Party's rights thereafter to enforce or exercise the same.

13.9Severability. If any portion of this Agreement is held invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, such portion shall be deemed to be of no force and effect and this Agreement shall be construed as if such portion had not been included herein, provided however, if the deletion of such provision materially impairs the commercial value of this Agreement to either Party, the Parties shall attempt to renegotiate such provision in good faith. The fact that any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Parties to this Agreement waive any provision of law that renders any provision of this Agreement prohibited or unenforceable in any respect.

Any notice required under this Agreement shall be effective only if it is in writing and (i) delivered in person or (ii) deposited with a nationally recognized overnight courier service, or (iii) sent by registered mail or (iv) dispatched by e-mail (pdf), in which case such notice is to be confirmed by registered mail within five (5) Business Days; in either case any notice is to be addressed to the applicable address set forth below or any other address as designated by either Party.
