15.3 Counterparts.
This
Agreement may be executed by facsimile and in counterparts, each of which will
be deemed an original, and all of which together shall constitute one and the
same instrument.
15.4 Construction.
If a
court of competent jurisdiction holds any term, covenant or restriction of
this
Agreement to be illegal, void or unenforceable, in whole or in part, the
remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement will
remain in full force and effect and will in no way be affected, impaired or
invalidated. If any provision in this Agreement is determined to be
unenforceable in equity because of its scope, duration, geographical area or
other factor, then the court making that determination will have the power
to
reduce or limit such scope, duration, area or other factor, and such provision
will be then enforceable in equity in its reduced or limited form.
Notwithstanding that certain provisions of this Agreement may contemplate that
the Parties will mutually determine or agree upon certain matters (“Future
Understandings”), each Party acknowledges and agrees that the Parties’ failure
to mutually determine or agree as to any Future Understandings is not a breach
of this Agreement by either Party and does not give rise to any cause of action
or right to pursue remedies for breach on the part of either Party; and the
Parties’ failure to mutually determine or agree as to any Future Understandings
does not excuse either Party’s performance of its other obligations under this
Agreement unless under this Agreement the Party’s other obligations are
expressly conditioned upon the Parties’ agreement upon the Future
Understandings. Section headings in this Agreement are for convenience only
and
shall not be construed to affect the meaning of any provision of this
Agreement.
15.5 Assignment.
Neither
Party may assign this Agreement, or any rights or obligations hereunder, without
the express written consent of the other Party (such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed). Any attempted assignment by a Party in
violation of this Section shall be void and shall constitute a material default
and breach of this Agreement. A change of control of a Party by any means,
including but not limited to by operation of law or by sale of securities or
assets, shall be considered an assignment for the purposes of this
Agreement.
15.6
Expenses.
Except
as otherwise expressly provided herein, each Party shall be responsible for
all
costs and expenses incurred in connection with the performance of its
obligations hereunder.
15.7 Governing
Law and Jurisdiction.
This
Agreement and all matters relating thereto will be construed and controlled
by
the laws of the State of Washington, without regard to the conflict of laws
provisions thereof, and each Party consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of
the
federal and state courts sitting in King County, Washington. If either [*]
or
Company employs attorneys to enforce any rights arising out of or relating
to
this Agreement, the prevailing Party will be entitled to recover such of its
reasonable attorneys' fees, costs and other expenses as may be awarded by the
court in its discretion. The foregoing choice of jurisdiction and venue shall
not prevent either Party from seeking injunctive relief with respect to a
violation of intellectual property rights, confidentiality obligations or
enforcement or recognition of any award or order in any appropriate
jurisdiction. The 1980 United Nations Convention on Contracts for the
International Sale of Goods and its related instruments will not apply to this
Agreement.
15.8
Force Majeure.
Except
for payment obligations, neither Party shall be deemed to be in default of
or to
have breached any provision of this Agreement as a result of any delay, failure
in performance or interruption of service, resulting directly or indirectly
from
acts of God, acts of civil or military authorities, civil disturbances,
terrorism, wars, strikes or other labor disputes, fires, flood, storm,
explosions, or any other cause which is beyond the reasonable control of such
Party provided that such Party makes reasonable efforts to promptly remedy
the
failure or delay when such cause is eliminated. If a Party’s failure or delay of
performance is excused by this Section for thirty (30) days or more, the other
Party may, but shall not be obligated to, immediately terminate this Agreement
upon written notice to the non-performing Party.
15.9
Non-waiver.
No
waiver of any breach of any provision of this Agreement shall constitute a
waiver of any prior, concurrent or subsequent breach of the same or any other
provisions hereof, and no waiver shall be effective unless made in writing
and
signed by an authorized representative of the waiving Party.

|
Incident
Resolution Responsibilities

of
Company and outside of [*]’s control, the incident will be closed and
returned to Company for proper resolution.
|
e.
|
For
Severity A and B incidents, [*] will use commercially reasonable
efforts
to resolve the problem as promptly as possible. Resolution of problems
determined by [*] to be of Severity C or D may be delayed until

will be able to explain the resolution of the incident to a technical
peer, or will be capable of targeting the root technical problem
for
resolution.

which
are a potential source for the creation of trouble tickets. The table below
outlines the preferred method of communications, however, nothing herein
precludes Company from contacting [*] Services Partner Support by all applicable

to
[*] Services Partner Support. Company will escalate incident using Premier
Online and [*] contact information pursuant to the reporting process procedures
defined in “Incident
Definitions and Handling Process”
and
“Technical
Issue Escalation Contacts”.
4. [*]
Services related incidents escalated by Company to [*] Services Partner Support
will have a support incident created in [*]’s Incident Management
System.
5. [*]’s
Global Escalation and Solutions Team (GEST) will accept the incoming support
incident.
6. GEST
will
validate incident repro steps provided by Company, perform initial
troubleshooting, offer resolution if possible and triage the incident for
escalation as necessary.
7. GEST’s
escalation triage of an incident includes determining whether the incident
is
related to the operations of [*] Services or a problem with an [*]
Product.
