ENTIRE AGREEMENT – This Agreement constitutes a binding contract when signed, acknowledged, or otherwise accepted by Buyer. Buyer’s acceptance of material constitutes acceptance of all the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, and such terms and conditions supersede all prior oral or written understandings between the parties and constitute the entire agreement between the parties.

Buyer also acknowledges and understands that any exports, re-exports or transfers of these Items, either directly by Buyer or indirectly by Buyer’s customers, are subject to U.S. export laws and regulations, including but not limited to the U.S. Export Administration Regulations (Title 15 of the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 730 et seq.) and the U.S. trade sanctions regulations (Title 31 of the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 500 et seq.). Buyer therefore agrees, and shall cause Buyer’s customers to agree, that no Items supplied by Company under this Agreement will be exported, re-exported, or otherwise transferred by Buyer or Buyer’s customers, except as may be authorized under U.S. law. Buyer understands and acknowledges that such authorization may in some cases require that Buyer or its customers obtain a U.S. export license in advance of any such export, re-export, or transfer. Buyer further agrees to indemnify, save, and hold Company harmless from any violations of U.S. export law resulting from the export, re-export, or transfer of these Items by Buyer or Buyer’s customers.

Company shall not be held to any liability with respect to any claim made by any third party on account of, or arising from the use of such material, equipment, program, documentation, or technical information.

IN NO EVENT SHALL COMPANY BE LIABLE FOR DAMAGES IN EXCESS OF THE PURCHASE PRICE STATED IN THIS AGREEMENT.

MEDIATION – If a dispute arises out of or relates to this Agreement, or its breach, and the parties have not been successful in resolving such dispute through negotiation, the parties agree to attempt to resolve the dispute through mediation by submitting the dispute to a sole mediator selected by the parties or, at any time at the option of a party, to mediation by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). Each party shall bear its own expenses and an equal share of the expenses of the mediator and the fees of the AAA. The parties, their representatives, other participants and the mediator shall hold the existence, content and result of the mediation in confidence. If such dispute is not resolved by such mediation, the parties shall have the right to resort to any remedies permitted by law. All defenses based on passage of time shall be tolled pending the termination of the mediation.

Buyer agrees to destroy all such software or to obtain an appropriate license for its continued use and to indemnify Company for any failure to do so.

TAXES – Any tax or related charge which Company shall be required to pay to or collect for any government upon or with respect to services rendered or the sale, use, or delivery of material, shall be billed to Buyer as a separate item and paid by Buyer unless a valid exemption certificate is furnished by Buyer to Company.
