Dispute Resolution; Binding Arbitration.
All disputes, claims, or controversies arising out of or relating to this Agreement that are not resolved by the Parties' good faith attempt to negotiate a resolution will be submitted to final and binding arbitration before JAMS, or its successor, in Los Angeles, California, USA, pursuant to the United States Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. Sec. 1 et seq. The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the provisions of JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures in effect at the time of filing of the demand for arbitration. The Parties shall cooperate with JAMS and each other in selecting a single arbitrator (the "Arbitrator") who shall be a former judge or justice with substantial experiences in resolving business disputes with particular experience in resolving disputes involving software. The costs of arbitration shall be shared equally by the Parties. The provisions of this Section 14.2 (Dispute Resolution; Binding Arbitration) may be enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction. THE ARBITRATOR IS NOT AND SHALL NOT BE EMPOWERED TO AWARD DAMAGES IN EXCESS OF THE COMPENSATORY DAMAGES (INCLUDING REASONABLE ATTORNEYS' FEES AND EXPERT WITNESS FEES) OR IN EXCESS OF THE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY AND DAMAGES SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, AND EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO RECOVER SUCH DAMAGES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, PUNITIVE DAMAGES), IN ANY FORUM. THE ARBITRATOR SHALL BE REQUIRED TO FOLLOW THE APPLICABLE LAW AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 14.1 (GOVERNING LAW) OF THIS AGREEMENT AND FOLLOW THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT. The Arbitrator may award equitable relief in those circumstances where monetary damages would be inadequate, such as a Party's violation of Section 6 (Use Restrictions) or 10 (Confidentiality). Neither Party shall have the right to act as a class representative or participate as a member of a class of claimants with respect to any claim. Either Party may, without waiving any remedy under the Agreement, seek from any court of competent jurisdiction any interim or provisional relief that such Party deems necessary to protect its Confidential Information and Intellectual Property Rights, pending the establishment of the arbitral tribunal (or pending the arbitral tribunal's determination of the merits of the claim).
Force Majeure.
Partie shall not be responsible to you for any failure or delay in its performance under this Agreement due to Acts of God or other unforeseen circumstances beyond Partie's reasonable control.
Severability; Waiver.
If a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of this Agreement invalid or unenforceable, that provision of the Agreement will be amended to achieve as nearly as possible the intent of the Parties, and the remainder of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect. The waiver by either Party of a breach of any provision of this Agreement in one instance shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same provision or any other provision of this Agreement.
Assignment.
You may not assign this Agreement, in whole or in part, without Partie's prior written consent. Any attempt to assign this Agreement without such consent will be null and void. Partie may assign this Agreement and all rights and obligations hereunder upon written notice to you. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement will bind and inure to the benefit of each Party's permitted successors and assigns.
