GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
1. SCOPE OF THIS AGREEMENT
1.1 Appointment of Reseller. Subject to all the terms and conditions set
forth herein, Interact hereby appoints Reseller as a non-exclusive reseller of
the Products in the United States, and Reseller hereby accepts such appointment.
Interact agrees to sell the hardware component of the Products to Reseller for
resale only to the Customers upon the terms and conditions set forth in this
Agreement and Interact agrees to provide a copy of the Software component of the
Products to Reseller for distribution to Customers.
1.2 Non-exclusive. The Reseller acknowledges that its right to Sell the
Products under this Agreement is non-exclusive, and that Interact reserves the
right to sell and distribute any of its products to any customers in the world,
and to appoint any third party to do so, without giving the Reseller notice
thereof and without incurring any liability to the Reseller therefore. Further,
nothing herein shall be deemed to preclude the Reseller from selling software
systems and/or hardware that are competitive with the Products.
1.3 Status as Independent Contractor. The relationship established
between Interact and the Reseller by this Agreement is that of a vendor to its
vendee and nothing herein contained shall be deemed to establish or otherwise
create a relationship of principal and agent between Interact and the Reseller.
The Reseller represents that it is an independent contractor who will not be
deemed an agent of Interact for any purpose whatsoever and neither the Reseller
nor any of its agents or employees will have any right or authority to assume or
create any obligation of any kind, whether express or implied, on behalf of
Interact. This Agreement is not a franchise agreement and does not create a
franchise relationship between the parties and if any provision of this
Agreement is deemed to create a franchise between the parties, then this
Agreement will be deemed null and void and will automatically terminate as if
such provision had been deemed unenforceable by a court as provided in Section
12.8.
1.4 Terms. Interact shall sell and/or license the Products to the
Reseller upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement at the prices
and/or fees set forth in Exhibit A or the then current pricing and discount
schedule. Interact may increase or decrease the price of the Products by giving
the Reseller thirty (30) days notice and such new pricing will apply to all of
the Reseller's orders received by Interact after the effective date set forth in
such notice.
In the event of a list price increase and upon Reseller's request,
Interact shall extend, for a period of up to sixty (60) days, the then-current
net purchase price for outstanding written bids in which Reseller has offered
Products to its End Users; provided Reseller submits in writing, a list of its
then-current outstanding written bids within ten (10) days after being notified
of a price change.
Each Sale of a Product to a Customer by Reseller shall constitute a
separate transaction, obligating the Reseller to pay Interact at the specified
rates set forth in Exhibit A or the then current pricing and discount schedule.
Reseller shall notify Interact within seven (7) days of the date of signature of
any agreement authorizing the sale of Product to a Customer.
1.5 Discontinuation/Changes to Products. Interact may, in its sole
discretion, discontinue the sale of any of the Products and any
parts/accessories thereto (except where continued availability is required by
law) and make such changes affecting their form, fit or function as it, in its
sole discretion, determines, without incurring any liability to the Reseller.
2. SOFTWARE AND TRADEMARK LICENSE GRANTS
2.1 Software License. Products delivered by Interact hereunder may
contain or require the use of separable software (the "Software"), which is
defined herein to include (i) computer programs consisting of hard-wired logic
instructions and/or instruction sequences in machine-readable code, contained on
a magnetic tape, diskette, semiconductor device or other memory device or system
memory which provides basic logic, operating instructions and user-related
application instructions and (ii) documentation used to describe, maintain and
use the programs. Interact and Reseller acknowledge and agree that such Software
includes intellectual property rights owned or held by Interact, including but
not limited to patent rights, copyright rights, utility models rights, trade
secret rights, trademark rights, rights of publicity, authors' rights, mask work
rights, contract and licensing rights, goodwill and all other intellectual
property rights, as may exist now and/or hereafter come into existence and all
applications therefor and registrations, continuations, continuations-in-part,
divisions, reissues, reexaminations, renewals and extensions thereof, regardless
of whether such rights arise under the laws of the United States or any other
state, country or jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this
Agreement and/or reference to "sale" of Products in this Agreement, the title
to, and ownership of, the Software shall remain with Interact.
23
Interact hereby grants to Reseller a personal, non-exclusive,
non-assignable license to (I) distribute to Reseller's Customers the Software
for use solely in connection with the Products sold pursuant to this Agreement
and subject to Interact's standard software license terms contained in the End
User Software License Agreement (the "EUSLA") attached hereto as Exhibit B and
(II) demonstrate the Software to prospective Customers pursuant to the
Technology Evaluation Agreement referenced in Section 2.6 and attached hereto in
Section 2.6. Reseller shall sell and distribute the Products only to Customers
who agree in writing with Reseller to accept the terms of the EUSLA.

license during the term of this Agreement to use the Interact trademarks for
purposes of marketing and sales of the Products. Reseller will strictly comply
with all guidelines provided by Interact concerning the use of its trademarks.
b. All uses of Interact's trademarks and related goodwill will inure
solely to Interact and Reseller will obtain no rights with respect to any of
Interact's trademarks, except for the limited license granted in this Section
2.3, and Reseller irrevocably assigns to Interact any rights and goodwill in
Interact's trademarks that it may acquire. Reseller will not attempt to register
any of Interact's trademarks or any marks or trade names that are confusingly
similar to Interact's trademarks.
2.3 Reservation of Rights. The Software is licensed per Section 2.2
above, not sold, by Interact to Reseller, and nothing in this Agreement will be
interpreted or construed as a sale or purchase of the Software whether expressed
or implied. Reseller will not have any rights in or to the Software except as
expressly granted in this Agreement. Interact reserves to itself all rights to
the Software not expressly granted to Reseller in accordance with this
Agreement. Interact retains all copyright, patents, trademark, trade secrets and
other intellectual property rights in and to the Software. Reseller acknowledges
that the Software, all copies of the Software, any derivative works,
compilations, and collective works of the Software, and any know-how and trade
secrets related to the Software are the sole and exclusive property of Interact
and contain Interact's confidential and proprietary materials.
2.4 Software License Fees. In consideration of the rights and licenses
granted herein, Reseller agrees to pay Interact the amounts described in Exhibit
A or the then current pricing and discount schedule. All such payments shall be
paid under the same payment terms as those described in Section 3. Such payment
shall not apply if Customers purchase Software directly from Interact following
expiration of any such Customer's one (1) year license.
2.5 Demonstration License. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary,
Reseller shall not be obligated to make payments pursuant to Section 2.5 for use
of the Software by Reseller solely for purposes of demonstration to prospective
customers in accordance with Section 2.2(II) and otherwise in compliance with
the EUSLA. In the event Reseller desires to demonstrate the Software to
prospective customers, Reseller and such customer shall enter into the

demonstration shall be undertaken in accordance with such agreement.
3. PURCHASE, DELIVERY, DEPLOYMENT AND SUPPORT

hereunder shall be evidenced by the Reseller's firm purchase order and shall be
subject to all of the provisions set forth in this Agreement. By placing each
order, the Reseller confirms its agreement with and acceptance of all such terms
and conditions. In the event of any discrepancy between the provisions set forth
herein, on the one hand, and any purchase order, order confirmation, or other

party, on the other hand, the provisions hereof shall prevail. In addition, any
additional terms contained in any purchase order, order confirmation or other
communication between the parties, whether or not acknowledged by the other
party, shall not be binding on either party unless both parties expressly accept
such additional terms in writing. No order for any Product placed by Reseller
hereunder shall be binding on Interact unless, and until, accepted by Interact.

hereunder, Interact shall either provide a written or email acknowledgement of

Interact and of no further force and effect. Purchase orders shall provide
details sufficient to identify the customer, the applicable Product and Product
details, and the shipping instructions.

(1) calendar year ("Warranty Period"). All dates are calculated from the date of
shipment to Reseller. In the event of a failure of Products to conform to their
Specifications during the Warranty Period, Reseller shall return any such

such Products do not conform to their Specifications, Interact shall have the
right, at its sole option, either: (a) to repair such Products to make them

Products; or (c) to pay to Reseller a pro rated refund of money paid by Reseller
for such non-conforming Products, reduced on a straight-line basis over one (1)
year from the date of initial delivery of such Products to Reseller. The
foregoing expresses Reseller's sole remedy, and Interact's sole liability, for
any breach of warranty by Interact hereunder. b. Scope of Warranty. The
foregoing warranty is solely and exclusively for Products, and does not apply to
any other goods or services of Interact, Reseller or of third parties, and does
not apply to the combination of Products with any other goods or services or for
any misuse or abuse of the Products or the use of the Products in any manner
inconsistent with the documentation.

or warranty or non-warranty action, Reseller must obtain a Return Materials
Authorization ("RMA ") number from Interact, and display such RMA number
prominently on the packaging of such returned Products. Reseller must return the
Product to Interact, with shipping charges prepaid. Interact will not accept
collect shipments. Any Product returned to Interact, which is not returned in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, may be refused by Interact, at its
sole discretion. Reseller may accept returns from End Users and Reseller may
send such returned Products to Interact.
d. Out of Warranty Repair. For Products which fail to conform to their
Specifications after the warranty period has expired, but during the term of
this Agreement, Reseller may return such Products to Interact for repair or
replacement at Interact's then-current prices and terms after obtaining an RMA
number. Net prices for repair and replacement parts are as indicated in
Interact's then-current service and support Price List and are not eligible for
further discounting.
7.3 Disclaimer. INTERACT HEREBY DISCLAIMS AND EXCLUDES ANY
REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES THAT THE PRODUCTS ARE COMPATIBLE WITH ANY
COMBINATION OF PRODUCTS NOT FURNISHED BY INTERACT WHICH THE RESELLER OR ANY
PURCHASER OR END USER MAY CHOOSE TO CONNECT TO THE PRODUCT EXCEPT FOR THOSE
EXPRESSLY APPROVED IN WRITING BY INTERACT. INTERACT EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL
IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR RESELLER'S PURPOSE, QUALITY,
ACCURACY, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. INTERACT DOES NOT WARRANT AGAINST

NETWORK, THAT INFORMATION AVAILABLE THROUGH THE PRODUCTS WILL BE ACCURATE,
COMPLETE, OR CURRENT, OR THAT ERRORS OR DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED. RESELLER
UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES THAT THE DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES IN THIS AGREEMENT IS
FAIR AND REASONABLE AND A FUNDAMENTAL PART OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THAT INTERACT
WOULD NOT AGREE TO ENTER THIS AGREEMENT WITHOUT SUCH DISCLAIMER.
8. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INFRINGEMENT
8.1 Interact's indemnity of the Reseller.
a. I nteract agrees to protect, defend, hold harmless and indemnify the
Reseller from and against any and all liabilities, damages and actions arising
out of any claim that the Products infringe any valid U.S. patent, trademark or
copyright of third parties, except where any such claims arise or result from
(i) the misuse of Products; (ii) alteration of the Products as furnished by
Interact; (iii) use of the Products furnished by Interact in the manner for
which the same were neither designed nor contemplated; or (iv) a patent,
trademark or copyright in which the Reseller or an affiliate or subsidiary of
the Reseller has any direct or indirect interest by license or otherwise. This
indemnification and hold harmless provision shall extend only to damages and
costs assessed against the Reseller embodied in a final judgment by a court of
competent jurisdiction holding that such Products constitute an infringement of
a valid U.S. patent, trademark or copyright or damages and costs incurred by the
Reseller as a result of a settlement entered into with the prior written consent
of Interact. Interact shall not be responsible for any loss of profits or the
Reseller's incidental or consequential damages or losses.
30
b. Reseller will promptly notify Interact of any suit or threat of suit
as to which Interact may have obligations under the above provisions and be
given reasonable opportunity to defend the same. The Reseller shall reasonably
cooperate with Interact with regard to the defense of any suit or threatened
suit and Interact shall have authority to settle or otherwise dispose of any
such suit or threatened suit, and to appeal any judgment that may be entered.
This indemnity shall be effective with respect to all Products sold by Interact
to the Reseller on or after the date set forth above and shall continue until
terminated by written notice by Interact to the Reseller upon ten (10) days
prior notice. Termination of this indemnity shall not affect its applicability
as to Products sold by Interact to the Reseller prior to the termination date
thereof.
8.2 Reseller's indemnity of Interact.
a. The Reseller agrees to protect, defend, hold harmless and indemnify
Interact from and against any and all liabilities, damages and actions arising
out of any claim that the software or other products or services of the Reseller
bundled with or sold in conjunction with the Products or in connection with this
Agreement ("Reseller Goods") infringe any valid U.S. patent, trademark or
copyright of third parties. This indemnification and hold harmless provision
shall extend only to damages and costs assessed against Interact embodied in a
final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction holding that such Reseller
Goods constitute an infringement of a valid U.S. patent, trademark or copyright
or damages and costs incurred by Interact as a result of a settlement entered
into with the prior written consent of the Reseller. The Reseller shall not be
responsible for any loss of profits or Interact's incidental or consequential
damages or losses.
b. Interact will promptly notify the Reseller of any suit or threat of
suit as to which the Reseller may have obligations under the above provisions
and be given reasonable opportunity to defend the same. The Reseller shall
reasonably cooperate with Interact with regard to the defense of any suit or
threatened suit and Interact shall have authority to settle or otherwise dispose
of any such suit or threatened suit, and to appeal any judgment which may be
entered. This indemnity shall be effective with respect to all Products sold by
Interact to the Reseller on or after the date set forth above and shall continue
until terminated by written notice by Interact to the Reseller upon ten (10)
days prior notice. Termination of this indemnity shall not affect its
applicability as to Products sold by Interact to the Reseller prior to the
termination date thereof.
9. PRODUCT INDEMNITIES

indemnify Interact and its officers, directors and employees from and against
any claims, suits, liabilities, losses, fines, penalties, damages and expenses
(including reasonable attorneys' and experts' fees and costs) arising from or
incident to the Reseller Goods and/or the Reseller's breach of its obligations
or responsibilities under this Agreement including, without limitation on the
foregoing, its obligations under Section 4.
9.2 Interact. Interact agrees to protect, defend, hold harmless and
indemnify the Reseller against any and all liabilities damages and actions,
directly and solely arising out of any personal injury to a Customer from its
use of the Products sold by Interact to the Reseller. Interact's obligation to
defend the Reseller in connection with such indemnity, however, shall terminate
with respect to such a claim in the event Interact obtains and furnishes to the
Reseller information that reasonably supports the conclusion that the Reseller

manner intended or used in violation of the EUSLA.
10. LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY
10.1 Disclaimer of Consequential Damages. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL INTERACT

DAMAGES OF ANY KIND EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES,
INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, COMPENSATION, REIMBURSEMENT OR DAMAGES ON ACCOUNT
OF THE LOSS OF PRESENT OR PROSPECTIVE PROFITS, EXPENDITURES, INVESTMENTS OR
COMMITMENTS, WHETHER MADE IN THE ESTABLISHMENT, DEVELOPMENT OR MAINTENANCE OF
BUSINESS REPUTATION OR GOODWILL, FOR LOSS OF DATA, COST OF SUBSTITUTE PRODUCTS,
COST OF CAPITAL, AND THE CLAIMS OF ANY THIRD PARTY, OR FOR ANY OTHER REASON
WHATSOEVER.
10.2 Cap on Liability. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL INTERACT'S TOTAL LIABILITY OF
ALL KINDS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
TO WARRANTY CLAIMS), REGARDLESS OF THE FORUM AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER ANY
ACTION OR CLAIM IS BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, EXCEED THE TOTAL
AMOUNT PAID BY RESELLER TO INTERACT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT DURING THE PRIOR TWELVE
(12) MONTH PERIOD (DETERMINED AS OF THE DATE OF ANY FINAL JUDGMENT IN AN
ACTION).
31
10.3 Independent Allocations of Risk. EACH PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT THAT
PROVIDES FOR A LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES, OR EXCLUSION
OF DAMAGES IS TO ALLOCATE THE RISKS OF THIS AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES. THIS
ALLOCATION IS REFLECTED IN THE PRICING OFFERED BY INTERACT TO RESELLER AND IS AN
ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN THE PARTIES. EACH OF THESE
PROVISIONS IS SEVERABLE AND INDEPENDENT OF ALL OTHER PROVISIONS OF THIS
AGREEMENT, AND EACH OF THESE PROVISIONS WILL APPLY EVEN IF THE WARRANTIES IN
THIS AGREEMENT HAVE FAILED OF THEIR ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.
11. CONFIDENTIALITY
11.1 "Confidential Information" means any trade secrets or other information of
a party, whether of a technical, business, or other nature (including, without
limitation, information relating to a party's technology, software, products,
services, designs, methodologies, business plans, finances, marketing plans,
Resellers, prospects, or other affairs), that is disclosed to a party during the
term of this Agreement and that such party knows or has reason to know is

Confidential Information does not include any information that: (a) was known to
the receiving party prior to receiving the same from the disclosing party in
connection with this Agreement; (b) is independently developed by the receiving
party without use of or reference to the Confidential Information of the
disclosing party by individuals who have had no access to such Confidential
Information; (c) is acquired by the receiving party from another source without
restriction as to use or disclosure; or (d) is or becomes part of the public
domain through no fault or action of the receiving party. "Confidential
Information" will only include items covered by this definition and that are
disclosed or embodied in materials delivered in tangible form (including
diskette, CD, email, and other means of electronic delivery) and clearly marked
as proprietary or confidential or, if disclosed orally, are summarized in
writing, clearly marked as proprietary or confidential, and provided to the
receiving party within 30 days following each such disclosure.
11.2 Restricted Use and Nondisclosure. During and after the term of this
Agreement, each party will: (a) use the other party's Confidential Information
solely for the purpose for which it is provided; (b) not disclose the other
party's Confidential Information to a third party unless the third party must
access the Confidential Information to perform in accordance with this Agreement
and the third party has executed a written agreement that contains terms that
are substantially similar to the terms contained in this Section 11.2 and (c)
protect the other party's Confidential Information from unauthorized use and
disclosure to the same extent (but using no less than a reasonable degree of
care) that it protects its own Confidential Information of a similar nature.
11.3 Required Disclosure. If either party is required by law to disclose the
Confidential Information or the terms of this Agreement, the disclosing party
must give prompt written notice of such requirement before such disclosure and
assist the non-disclosing party in obtaining an order protecting the
Confidential Information from public disclosure.
11.4 Return of Materials. Upon the termination or expiration of this Agreement,
or upon earlier request, each party will deliver to the other all Confidential
Information that they may have in its possession or control. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, neither party will be required to return materials that it must
retain in order to receive the benefits of this Agreement or properly perform in
accordance with this Agreement.
11.5 Existing Obligations. The obligations in this Section 11.5 are in addition
to, and supplement, eachparty's obligations of confidentiality under any
nondisclosure or other agreement between the parties.
11.6 Injunctive Relief. Each party agrees that any breach of any of its
obligations with respect to confidentiality or use of the disclosing party's
Confidential Information hereunder is likely to cause or threaten irreparable
harm to the disclosing party, and, accordingly, the receiving party agrees that
in the event of such breach the disclosing party shall be entitled to seek
equitable relief to protect its interest therein, including but not limited to
preliminary and permanent injunctive relief, as well as money damages.
32
12. GENERAL
12.1 Relationship. Reseller will be and act as an independent contractor and not
as the agent or representative of Interact in the performance of this Agreement.
This Agreement will not be interpreted or construed as (a) creating or
evidencing any association, joint venture, partnership, or franchise between the
parties; (b) imposing any partnership or franchise obligation or liability on
either party; or (c) prohibiting or restricting Interact's performance of any
services for any third party. Reseller must not represent to anyone that
Reseller is an agent of Interact or is otherwise authorized to bind or commit
Interact in any way without Interact's prior written authorization.
12.2 Assignability. Reseller may not assign its right, duties, or obligations
under this Agreement without Interact's prior written consent. If consent is
given, this Agreement will bind Reseller's successors and assigns. Any attempt
by Reseller to transfer its rights, duties, or obligations under this Agreement
except as expressly provided in this Agreement is void.
12.3 Subcontractors. Interact may utilize a subcontractor or other third party
to perform its duties under this Agreement so long as Interact remains
responsible for all of its obligations under this Agreement.
12.4 Nonsolicitation. During the term of this Agreement and for a period of one
year thereafter, Reseller will not, directly or indirectly, employ or solicit
the employment or services of a Interact employee or independent contractor
without the prior written consent of Interact.
12.5 Notices. Any notice required or permitted to be given in accordance with
this Agreement will be effective if it is in writing and sent by certified or
registered mail, or insured courier, return receipt requested, to the
appropriate party at the address set forth below and with the appropriate
postage affixed. Either party may change its address for receipt of notice by
notice to the other party in accordance with this Section. Notices are deemed
given two business days following the date of mailing or one business day
following delivery to a courier.

12.6 Force Majeure. Interact will not be liable for, or be considered to be in
breach of or default under this Agreement on account of any delay or failure to
perform as required by this Agreement as a result of any cause or condition
beyond Interact's reasonable control, so long as Interact uses all commercially
reasonable efforts to avoid or remove such causes of non-performance.
12.7 Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement will be interpreted, construed,
and enforced in all respects in accordance with the local laws of the State of
Washington, U.S.A without reference to its choice of law rules and not including
the provisions of the 1980 U.N. Convention on Contracts for the International
Sale of Goods. The parties agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and
federal courts located in King County, Washington.
12.8 Arbitration. To ensure rapid and economical resolution of any disputes
which may arise under this Agreement, the parties agree that any and all
disputes or controversies of any nature whatsoever, arising from or regarding
the interpretation, performance, enforcement or breach of this Agreement shall
be resolved by confidential, final and binding arbitration (rather than trial by
jury or court or resolution in some other forum) to the fullest extent permitted
by law. Any arbitration proceeding pursuant to this Agreement shall be conducted
by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") in Seattle, Washington under the
then existing AAA arbitration rules. If for any reason all or part of this
arbitration provision is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any
respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity,
illegality or unenforceability will not effect any other portion of this
arbitration provision or any other jurisdiction, but this provision will be
reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid,
illegal or unenforceable part or parts of this provision had never been
contained herein, consistent with the general intent of the parties insofar as
possible.
12.9 Waiver. The waiver by either party of any breach of any provision of this
Agreement does not waive any other breach. The failure of any party to insist on
strict performance of any covenant or obligation in accordance with this
Agreement will not be a waiver of such party's right to demand strict compliance
in the future, nor will the same be construed as a negation of this Agreement.
33
12.10 Severability. If any part of this Agreement is found to be illegal,
unenforceable, or invalid, the remaining portions of this Agreement will remain
in full force and effect. If any limitation or restriction on the grant of any
license to Reseller under this Agreement is found to be illegal, unenforceable,
or invalid, the license will immediately terminate.
12.11 Interpretation. The parties have had an equal opportunity to participate
in the drafting of this Agreement and the attached exhibits, if any. No
ambiguity will be construed against any party based upon a claim that that party
drafted the ambiguous language. The headings appearing at the beginning of
several sections contained in this Agreement have been inserted for
identification and reference purposes only and must not be used to construe or
interpret this Agreement. Whenever required by context, a singular number will
include the plural, the plural number will include the singular, and the gender
of any pronoun will include all genders.
12.12 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of identical
counterparts, notwithstanding that the parties have not signed the same
counterpart, with the same effect as if the parties had signed the same
document. All counterparts will be construed as and constitute the same
agreement. This Agreement may also be executed and delivered by facsimile and
such execution and delivery will have the same force and effect of an original
document with original signatures.
12.13 Entire Agreement. This Agreement supersedes, terminates and otherwise
renders null and void any and all prior written and/or oral agreements between
the Reseller and Interact with respect to the matters herein expressly set
forth, except that nothing herein contained shall be construed as intended to
relieve or release either party from its obligation to make payment of any
monies which either party may owe to the other party. This Agreement represents
and incorporates the entire understanding of the parties hereto with respect to
the matters herein expressly set forth and each party acknowledges that there
are no warranties, representations, covenants or understandings of any kind,
nature or description whatsoever made by either party to the other, except as
are herein expressly set forth. This Agreement may be modified only by a written
instrument signed by the parties to this Agreement, which instrument makes
specific reference to this Agreement and the changes to be made hereto.
12.14 Survival. The provisions of Sections 2.5 (Reservation of Rights), 6 (Term
and Termination), 8 (Intellectual Property Infringement), 9 (Product
Indemnities), 10 (Limitation of Liability), and 11 (Confidentiality) shall
survive the expiration of this Agreement.
12.15 Attorney Fees. If any legal action, arbitration, mediation or other
proceeding is brought for the enforcement of this Agreement, or because of an
alleged dispute, breach, default, or misrepresentation in connection with any of
the provisions of this Agreement, the successful or prevailing party or parties
shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs incurred
in that action or proceeding, in addition to any other relief to which it or
they may be entitled.
The Reseller hereby warrants and represents that the individual executing this
Agreement is duly authorized and empowered to bind the Reseller. This Agreement
shall be subject to acceptance by Interact through its execution in the space
provided below by an authorized representative only.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have entered into this Agreement as of the date
first above written.
