Except for any payments due hereunder, neither party shall be responsible for delay or failure in performance caused by any government act, law, regulation, order, or decree, by communication line or power failures beyond its reasonable control, or by fire, flood, or other natural disasters or by other causes beyond its reasonable control, nor shall any such delay or failure be considered a breach of these Terms.
  • Injunctive Relief. Each party acknowledges and agrees that a breach or threatened breach of any covenant contained in these Terms may cause irreparable injury, that money damages may be an inadequate remedy and that each party will be entitled to seek temporary and permanent injunctive relief, without the posting of any bond or other security, to restrain the other party from such breach or threatened breach. Nothing in this Section will be construed as preventing a party from pursuing any and all remedies available to it, including the recovery of money damages.
  • Independent Contractors and No Agency. The parties are independent contractors under these Terms and nothing herein will constitute either party as the employer, employee, agent or representative of the other party, or both parties as joint ventures or partners for any purpose. Nothing in these Terms is intended to constitute a fiduciary relationship, agency, joint venture, partnership or trust between the parties. No party has authority to bind the other party. These Terms shall not confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
  • The Services may be controlled by the United States and other governments for export, re-export, deemed export, and import purposes (jointly, export and import). Customer agrees to comply with all such export and import laws, regulations, directives, rules, and controls regarding the Services and Software including, without limitation, the United States Export Administration Regulations, International Traffic in Arms Regulations, Office of Foreign Asset Control directives, sanctions, prohibitions and restrictions, and all treaties, Executive Orders, statutes, amendments and supplements thereto (laws). Customer is responsible for obtaining all export and import licenses, authorizations, permissions, and to accomplish other acts to comply with all such laws. The Software and Service is commercial and shall be used for non-prohibited, commercial purposes by non-prohibited end-users and shall not be exported or transferred to any end-user located in a country embargoed by the United States, or to a national of such a country, without the appropriate license or authorization. Customer will not export the Software and/or Service to a person or entity denied, prohibited, debarred or sanctioned (denied) by the United States Government, and Customer represents that it is not such a denied person or entity.
  • US Government Restrictions. Customer acknowledges that the Software consists of “commercial computer software” and “commercial computer software documentation” as such terms are defined in the Code of Federal Regulations. No government procurement regulations or contract clauses or provisions shall be deemed a part of any transaction between the parties unless its inclusion is required by law, or mutually agreed in writing by the parties in connection with a specific transaction. Use, duplication, reproduction, release, modification, disclosure or transfer of the Software is restricted in accordance with the terms of these Terms.
  • Entire Agreement. These Terms (including this document, any duly executed Order Forms and Statements of Work) constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto pertaining to the subject matter hereof, and any and all prior or contemporaneous written or oral agreements existing between the parties hereto and related to the subject matter hereof are expressly canceled. No modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of these Terms will be effective unless in writing and signed by both parties hereto. Any failure to enforce any provision of these Terms will not constitute a waiver thereof or of any other provision. In the event of a conflict between the Order Form and these Terms, the Order Form shall govern, though only to the extent of the conflict. The section headings contained in these Terms are inserted for convenience only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of these Terms.
  • Construction. The parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of these Terms. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, these Terms shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of these Terms.
