13. GENERAL PROVISIONS

13.1 Governing Law. This Agreement and any dispute or claim arising out of, resulting from, caused by and/or related to, its subject matter, or its formation (including non-contractual disputes or claims) will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state of Delaware , without reference to its conflicts of laws and choice of law rules or principles, and any controlling United States federal laws. The Parties irrevocably agree that the federal and state courts located in Fairfax County, Virginia will have exclusive venue and jurisdiction to adjudicate and settle any dispute or claim arising out of, resulting from, caused by, and/or related to this Agreement, its subject matter, or its formation (including non-contractual disputes or claims). The United Nations Convention On Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to this Agreement.

13.2 Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the full understanding of the Parties hereto with respect to the specific subject matter hereof and supersedes and cancels all other previous agreements, negotiations, commitments, discussions, and warranties, whether oral or in writing, with respect to such subject matter. The Parties have not relied on any statement, representation, warranty, or agreement of the other Party or of any other person on such Party’s behalf, including any representations, warranties, or agreements arising from statute or otherwise in law, except for the representations, warranties, or agreements expressly contained in this Agreement. Nothing in this Section 13.2 purports to limit or exclude any liability for fraud.

13.3 Assignment. This Agreement and the rights and obligations hereunder may not be assigned, assumed, delegated, sublicensed, novated, or transferred without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Party may assign their rights and obligations under this Agreement, without written consent of the other Party, to an entity acquiring a Party through a change of control, merger, acquisition of all or substantially all of a Party’s assets; provided, that, the acquiring party agrees to comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Subject to the foregoing sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties, their successors and permitted assigns. Any purported assignment, assumption, delegation, transfer, and/or novation of rights and/or obligations under this Agreement in violation of this Section 13.3 shall be null and void.

13.4 Compliance with Laws. Each Party agrees to abide by all applicable local, state, national, and international laws and regulations applicable to such Party’s performance under this Agreement, including, without limitation, all intellectual property and privacy laws. By granting Partner the Licenses set forth herein, Qrvey does not represent that to do so will be lawful in all cases and Partner assumes responsibility for complying with the laws of each jurisdiction in which it operates.

13.5 Waiver and Severable. A failure or delay of either Party to this Agreement to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement will in no way be construed to be a waiver of such provisions. In the event that any provision of this Agreement will be held to be invalid, the remaining provisions of this Agreement will be unimpaired and the invalid provisions will be replaced by a mutually acceptable provision.

13.6 Force Majeure. Neither Party shall be liable to the other Party for any delay, nonperformance, loss or damage (other than for failure to pay any amount when due) because of reasons beyond their reasonable control including, but not limited to, acts of God, acts of government, floods, fires, earthquakes, pandemic outbreaks, civil unrest, acts of terror, strikes or other labor problems (other than those involving Qrvey employees), communication systems failures, internet service provider failures or delays, or denial of service attacks, war, riots, power failures, accidents in transportation or other causes beyond the reasonable control of the respective Party (“Force Majeure”).

Under no circumstances will any personnel of either Party be considered to be an employee or agent of the other Party. There are no intended third party beneficiaries of any provision of this Agreement.

13.8 Equitable Relief. Damages may be an inadequate remedy in the event of a breach by either Party to this Agreement and that any such breach by either Party may cause the other Party great and irreparable injury and damage. Accordingly, both Parties agree that the Party claiming breach will be entitled, without posting a bond or waiving any additional rights or remedies otherwise available to it at law or in equity or by statute, to seek injunctive and other equitable relief.

13.9 Non-Solicitation. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, no member of either Party’s personnel shall during the Term of this Agreement and for one (1) year thereafter, without the prior written consent of the other Party, solicit, directly, the employment of any employee, former employee (separated less than six (6) months), or consultant or subcontractor of the other Party or hire any employee, former employee, or consultant or subcontractor of the other Party who has been involved in the negotiation, operation or performance under this Agreement or any amendment or extension thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 13.9 shall not restrict or preclude a Party from making generalized searches for employees and consultants/subcontractors by the use of advertisements online or in the media, or by engaging search firms to engage in searches that are not targeted or focused on the other Party’s employees, former employees, consultants or subcontractors.

During the Term of this Agreement and for a period of two (2) years following the termination of this Agreement, Partner will maintain complete and accurate information, data, and records in connection with the Licenses granted to Partner hereunder and Partner’s compliance with their obligations under this Agreement (“Records”). Upon thirty (30) calendar days prior written notice to Partner, Qrvey may audit (or engage a third party to conduct an audit), at their own expense, such Records. Qrvey agrees not to audit Partner more than once per year during the Term of this Agreement. Partner will provide all assistance and cooperation during any audit. Should an audit reveal that Partner is not in compliance with one or more of their obligations under this Agreement, (a) Partner will pay for the audit; (b) Qrvey may terminate this Agreement, at their sole discretion, and (c) Qrvey may seek damages, if any.
