Miscellaneous.
11.1 Entire Agreement.
This Agreement, together with any other documents incorporated herein by reference, constitutes the sole and entire agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, and representations and warranties, both written and oral, with respect to such subject matter. In the event of any inconsistency between the statements made in the body of this Agreement, the related Exhibits, and any other documents incorporated herein by reference, the following order of precedence governs: (a) first, this Agreement; and (b) second, any other documents incorporated herein by reference.11.2 Notices.
All notices, requests, consents, claims, demands, waivers, and other communications hereunder (each, a “Notice”) must be in writing and addressed to the Parties at the addresses set forth on the first page of this Agreement (or to such other address that may be designated by the Party giving Notice from time to time in accordance with this Section). All Notices must be delivered by personal delivery, nationally recognized overnight courier (with all fees pre-paid), facsimile or email (with confirmation of transmission) or certified or registered mail (in each case, return receipt requested, postage pre-paid). Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, a Notice is effective only: (a) upon receipt by the receiving Party; and (b) if the Party giving the Notice has complied with the requirements of this Section.11.3 Force Majeure.
In no event shall either Party be liable to the other Party, or be deemed to have breached this Agreement, for any failure or delay in performing its obligations under this Agreement (except for any obligations to make payments), if and to the extent such failure or delay is caused by any circumstances beyond such Party’s reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, flood, fire, earthquake, explosion, war, terrorism, invasion, riot or other civil unrest, strikes, labor stoppages or slowdowns or other industrial disturbances, or passage of law or any action taken by a governmental or public authority, including imposing an embargo.11.4 Amendment and Modification.

Sonal will provide Customer with reasonable notice prior to any amendments or modifications taking effect, either by emailing the email address associated with Customer’s account on the Sonal Platform or by another method reasonably designed to provide notice to Customer. If Customer accesses or uses the Sonal Platform after the effective date of the revised Agreement, such access and use will constitute Customer’s acceptance of the revised Agreement beginning at the next Renewal Subscription Period or, if Customer enters into a new Order with Sonal, as of the date of execution of such Order.11.5 Waiver.
No failure or delay by either Party in exercising any right or remedy available to it in connection with this Agreement will constitute a waiver of such right or remedy. No waiver under this Agreement will be effective unless made in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the Party granting the waiver.11.6 Severability.
If any provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability will not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect their original intent as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.11.7 Governing Law; Dispute Resolution.
This Agreement shall in all respects be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware without reference to its principles of conflicts of laws, and without regard to the United Nations Convention on the Sale of Goods. Subject to the following arbitration requirements, the Parties hereby agree that all litigation arising out of this Agreement shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of and venue in the federal and state courts within the State of Delaware, and the Parties hereby consent to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction and venue of these courts. For any dispute in connection with this Agreement, the Parties agree to first attempt to mutually resolve the dispute informally via negotiation. If the dispute has not been resolved after thirty (30) days, the Parties agree to resolve any claim, dispute, or controversy (excluding any claims for injunctive or other equitable relief as provided below) arising out of or in connection with or relating to this Agreement, or the breach or alleged breach, by binding arbitration by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules in force at that time. The arbitration will be conducted in the State of Delaware. The arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding on all Parties, and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
11.8 Assignment. Customer may not assign any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations hereunder, in each case whether voluntarily, involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of Sonal. Any purported assignment or delegation in violation of this Section will be null and void. No assignment or delegation will relieve the assigning or delegating Party of any of its obligations hereunder. This Agreement is binding upon and inures to the benefit of the Parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns.
11.9 Export Regulation. The Sonal Platform utilizes software and technology that may be subject to US export control laws, including the US Export Administration Act and its associated regulations. Customer shall not, directly or indirectly, export, re-export, or release the Sonal Platform or the underlying software or technology to, or make the Sonal Platform or the underlying software or technology accessible from, any jurisdiction or country to which export, re-export, or release is prohibited by law, rule, or regulation. Customer shall comply with all applicable federal laws, regulations, and rules, and complete all required undertakings (including obtaining any necessary export license or other governmental approval), prior to exporting, re-exporting, releasing, or otherwise making the Sonal Platform or the underlying software or technology available outside the US.
11.10 US Government Rights. Each of the Documentation and the software components that constitute the Sonal Platform is a "commercial item" as that term is defined at 48 C.F.R. § 2.101, consisting of "commercial computer software" and "commercial computer software documentation" as such terms are used in 48 C.F.R. § 12.212. Accordingly, if Customer is an agency of the US Government or any contractor therefor, Customer only receives those rights with respect to the Sonal Platform and Documentation as are granted to all other end users, in accordance with (a) 48 C.F.R. § 227.7201 through 48 C.F.R. § 227.7204, with respect to the Department of Defense and their contractors, or (b) 48 C.F.R. § 12.212, with respect to all other US Government users and their contractors.
11.11 Equitable Relief. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that a breach or threatened breach by such Party of any of its obligations under Section 5 or, in the case of Customer, Section 2.2, would cause the other Party irreparable harm for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy and agrees that, in the event of such breach or threatened breach, the other Party will be entitled to equitable relief, including a restraining order, an injunction, specific performance and any other relief that may be available from any court, without any requirement to post a bond or other security, or to prove actual damages or that monetary damages are not an adequate remedy. Such remedies are not exclusive and are in addition to all other remedies that may be available at law, in equity or otherwise.
11.12 Publicity. Sonal may identify Customer as a user of the Sonal Platform and may use Customer’s name, logo, and other trademarks in Sonal’s customer list, press releases, blog posts, advertisements, and website (and all use thereof and goodwill arising therefrom shall inure to the sole and exclusive benefit of Customer). Otherwise, neither Party may use the name, logo, or other trademarks of the other Party for any purpose without the other Party’s prior written approval.
