Developer will make reasonable efforts to provide notice to Subscriber prior to such
access and transfer. Developer’s actions will comply with its obligations under
Sections 8 and 9 of this Agreement.
20.5 The failure of either party to enforce any provision hereof shall not constitute or
be construed as a waiver of such provision or of the right to enforce it at a later time.

and Developer and governs Authorized Users use of the Service, superseding any
prior agreements between Authorized Users and Developer (including, but not
limited to, any prior versions of this agreement).
20.7 Developer reserves the right to amend this Agreement. In the event of material
changes to the Agreement, Developer will notify Subscribers, by email, or by other
reasonable means of these changes prior to their enactment. Continued use of the

any new terms.
20.8 Neither party may assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder, whether by
operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the other party
(which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). Notwithstanding the foregoing,
either party may assign this Agreement in its entirety without consent of the other
party in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization, or sale of all

of the terms of this Agreement. Any attempt by a party to assign its rights or
obligations under this Agreement in breach of this Section shall be void and of no
effect.

Jersey for agreements that are wholly performed within the State of New Jersey.

shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors in
interest.
20.13 Subscriber may not assign its rights or delegate its duties hereunder, except
with Developer’s prior written consent.
20.14 Subscriber understands and agrees that because of the unique nature of the
Service, and the subject matter of this Agreement, Developer will suffer irreparable
harm in the event that Subscriber breaches this Agreement and that monetary
damages will be inadequate to compensate Developer for such breach. Accordingly,
Subscriber agrees that Developer has, in addition to any other legal or equitable
remedies available to Developer, the right to (a) immediate injunctive relief in case of
any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement and (b) reimbursement by
Subscriber of incurred costs including, but not limited to, attorney fees.

addresses specified herein or at such other addresses as the parties may specify to
one another in writing.
20.16 The terms of the Uniform Commercial Code, Chapter 12A of the Laws of New
Jersey, shall apply to this Agreement as if the subject matter of this Agreement was
entirely the sale of goods, as defined by that Chapter.
20.17 Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the
breach thereof, shall be settled by arbitration in accordance with the Rules of the
American Arbitration Association and judgment upon the award rendered by the

however, will not preclude the entry of injunctions or other equitable remedies as
provided in this Agreement.
