Choice of law rules and the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods will not apply. If Customer is located in the Americas, the parties agree to jurisdiction and venue for claims or actions arising under this GB EULA in the state or federal courts located in Rhode Island, USA. If Customer is located outside of the Americas, then any dispute between the parties arising under this Agreement shall be finally settled by binding arbitration in London, England. Such arbitration shall be conducted in English in accordance with the rules of the International Chamber of Commerce by one (1) arbitrator appointed in accordance with such rules. The arbitrator shall allow such discovery as is appropriate to the purposes of arbitration in accomplishing a fair, speedy, and cost-effective resolution of the dispute, and shall be expressly empowered to issue appropriate injunctive relief. The award of arbitration shall be final and binding upon both parties, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Any monetary award shall be payable in United States dollars. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may also seek and obtain appropriate relief in any court of competent jurisdiction for claims regarding (i) the scope of any licenses granted herein or (ii) either party’s intellectual property rights and confidential information. The prevailing party in an action to enforce this GB EULA shall be entitled to costs and attorneys’ and experts’ fees and expenses.
11. GENERAL. Customer may not assign any rights or delegate any duties under this GB EULA and any attempt to do so is void and without effect. This GB EULA is the parties’ entire agreement relating to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous oral or written communications, proposals, representations and warranties and prevails over any conflicting or additional terms of any communication between the parties relating to its subject matter. No modification to this GB EULA will be binding unless in writing and signed by an authorized representative of each party. Any express waiver or failure to exercise promptly any right under this GB EULA will not create a continuing waiver or any expectation of non-enforcement. If any provision of this GB EULA is held to be unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be reformed only to the extent necessary to make it enforceable. To the extent that any and all provisions of this GB EULA shall exclude or limit any statutory liability which, according to mandatory provisions of Applicable Law cannot be contractually excluded or limited by mutual agreement of the parties, then such provision shall be given only such effect, if any, as is permitted by the Applicable Law. Neither party will be responsible for any failure or delay in its performance under this GB EULA, excluding Customer’s payment obligations, due to causes beyond its reasonable control, including, but not limited to, labor disputes, strikes, lockouts, shortages of or inability to obtain energy, raw materials or supplies, war, terrorism, riot, or natural disasters.
