14.1 Governing Law; Venue. This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflicts-of-law principles. Each Party consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in the State of Delaware.
14.2 Dispute Resolution. Prior to initiating arbitration or litigation, the Parties shall attempt to resolve disputes through good-faith negotiations. If unresolved within ten (10) business days, the matter shall escalate to senior executives of each Party for an additional ten (10) business days before formal proceedings may be initiated. Nothing in this Section prevents either Party from seeking injunctive or equitable relief in the courts stated above.
14.3 Entire Agreement; Precedence. This Agreement, including all Order Forms, online checkout flows, and SOWs, constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to its subject matter and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements. In the event of a conflict, the following order of precedence applies: (1) the DPA as to data protection matters; (2) this Agreement; (3) Order Forms and online checkout flow terms specific to pricing, seats, or credits; (4) SOWs; and (5) Company's standard terms and policies, including its Acceptable Use Policy.
14.4 Amendment; Waiver. This Agreement may be amended only by a written instrument signed by authorized representatives of both Parties, except that Company may update this Agreement prospectively by posting an updated version on its website or within the Platform; provided, however, that any such update will apply only upon Customer's renewal or entry into a new Order Form or subscription term unless earlier accepted by Customer. No waiver of any provision shall be effective unless in writing. No failure or delay in exercising any right constitutes a waiver.
14.5 Assignment. Neither Party may assign this Agreement without the other Party's prior written consent, except that either Party may assign without consent to an Affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of substantially all of its assets, provided the assignee assumes all obligations and written notice is provided within thirty (30) days. Any purported assignment in violation of this Section is void.
14.6 Customer Identification. Company may identify Customer as a customer using Customer's name and approved logo in Company's marketing materials and website, subject to Customer's trademark usage guidelines. Customer may opt out of this marketing use by providing written notice to Company. Company shall not use Customer's name or logo in any manner that is disparaging or misrepresents the nature of the Parties' relationship.
14.7 Export Compliance. Each Party shall comply with applicable export control laws and regulations, including U.S. Export Administration Regulations and OFAC sanctions. Customer shall not access or use the Platform from any jurisdiction subject to U.S. comprehensive sanctions without Company's prior written consent.
14.8 Severability; Counterparts; Interpretation. If any provision is held invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, it shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts; electronic signatures and clickwrap acceptance have the same legal effect as original signatures. Headings are for reference only. "Including" means "including without limitation." This Agreement shall be construed without regard to any presumption requiring construction against the Party causing it to be drafted.
14.9 Notices. All notices shall be in writing and delivered by email with confirmation of receipt, overnight courier, or certified mail, return receipt requested, to the addresses specified on the applicable Order Form, online account settings, or SOW, or as otherwise notified in writing.
