Each Party will take reasonable measures to protect the confidentiality of Confidential Information disclosed to it by the other Party, including, at a minimum, those measures that it takes to protect its own Confidential Information of a similar nature but in no event less than a reasonable measure of care. If a Party becomes legally compelled to disclose any Confidential Information, it shall promptly notify the other Party in writing and assist the other Party to seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy before making disclosure.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, no term or condition implied by law, trade, custom, practice or course of dealing or stated in any solicitation, order, or other document shall become part of this Agreement or be binding on us unless expressly agreed by us in writing. In the event of any inconsistency between this Agreement and any Order Form the Order Form shall control.

20.2. This Agreement shall be governed by, interpreted, construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without regard to choice of law principles thereof.

20.3. Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be adjudicated exclusively in the state or federal courts sitting in the County of New York, State of New York, and the Parties waive any objections to the venue of such courts.

20.4. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that any controversy which may arise under this Agreement is likely to involve complicated and difficult issues and, therefore, each Party irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any legal action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Each party to this Agreement certifies and acknowledges that (a) no representative of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not seek to enforce the foregoing waiver in the event of a legal action, (b) such party has considered the implications of this waiver, (c) such party makes this waiver voluntarily, and (d) such party has been induced to enter into this Agreement by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section 20.4.

This Agreement does not create any actual or apparent agency, partnership, franchise, joint venture, or common undertaking, co-ownership, or relationship of employer and employee between the Parties for any purpose whatsoever. Neither Party will exercise control over the activities and operations of the other party. Each Party will, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, conduct all of its business in its own name and as it deems fit. Neither Party will engage in any conduct inconsistent with its status as an independent contractor, have authority to bind the other with respect to any agreement or other commitment with any third party, or enter into any commitment on behalf of the other.

20.8. In the event any provision of the Agreement is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be illegal and/or unenforceable, the Parties agree to negotiate in good faith in order to agree on a new replacing provision only to the extent necessary to make it enforceable and the other provisions of the Agreement will remain in full force and effect.

20.9. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect. If any court determines that any provision of this Agreement or any part thereof is invalid or unenforceable, the court shall limit or modify the provision to the minimum extent necessary to permit enforcement to the greatest extent permitted by law, and the provision, as modified, shall then be enforced.

20.10. We have the right to amend the terms and conditions of this Agreement, in whole or in part, giving you one (1) month’s prior notice of the amended terms and conditions. You have the right to give us notice of termination of this Agreement immediately upon receipt of our notice of amended terms; provided, however, that you shall be deemed to agree to the notified amendment of this Agreement if you fail to exercise your right to terminate the Agreement within fifteen (15) days from our notice as specified above. In the event of termination pursuant to this Section 20.10, we shall refund you pro rata any prepaid Fees for the period from the effective date of your termination through the end of the otherwise then current Term of this Agreement.

20.11. The failure of a Party to insist on strict adherence to any term of this Agreement on any occasion shall not be considered a waiver of any right of such Party under this Agreement or deprive that Party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Agreement. No waiver of any provision shall be construed as a waiver of any other provision. Any waiver must be explicitly stated in writing and signed by the Party waiving compliance. Any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall not preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.
