    7. U.S. Government Rights (if applicable).  All Exterro software is commercial computer software, and all services are commercial items. “Commercial computer software” has the meaning set forth in Federal Acquisition Regulation (“FAR”) 2.101 for civilian agency purchases and the Department of Defense (“DOD”) FAR Supplement (“DFARS”) 252.227-7014(a)(1) for defense agency purchases. If the software is licensed or the services are acquired by or on behalf of a civilian agency, Exterro provides the commercial computer software and/or commercial computer software documentation and other technical data subject to the terms of this Agreement as required in FAR 12.212 (Computer Software) and FAR 12.211 (Technical Data) and their successors. If the software is licensed or the services are acquired by or on behalf of any agency within the DOD, Exterro provides the commercial computer software and/or commercial computer software documentation and other technical data subject to the terms of this Agreement as specified in DFARS 227.7202-3 and its successors. Only if this is a DOD prime contract or DOD subcontract, the Government acquires additional rights in technical data as set forth in DFARS 252.227-7015. This U.S. Government Rights clause is in lieu of, and supersedes, any other FAR, DFARS or other clause or provision that addresses Government rights in computer software or technical data.

    11. Independent Contractor.  Each party’s relationship to the other is that of an independent contractor. Nothing in this Agreement, and no course of dealing between the parties, is to be construed to create a partnership, joint venture or employment or agency relationship between the parties or between Customer and any Exterro employee, agent or contractor.  Neither party has any authority to bind, incur liability for or otherwise act on behalf of the other party, and neither party will represent or imply that it has any such authority. 
    12. Injunctive Relief. A violation of Sections 2 (License Grant), 7 (Proprietary Rights), or 9 (Confidential Information), including any infringement or misappropriation of any Software or Intellectual Property rights will cause severe and irreparable injury to Exterro and threaten its core business interest with no adequate remedy at law.  Accordingly, in the event of any actual or threatened violation or breach of those Sections, the breaching party agrees that the non-breaching party shall be entitled to seek immediate injunctive relief, without the need to post bond or surety, to prevent or stop such violation or breach, as well as other equitable and legal remedies available to such party.

All notices, requests, consents, claims, demands, waivers, and other communications under this Agreement (each, a "Notice") must be in writing and addressed to the other Party at its address set forth below (or to such other address that the receiving Party may designate from time to time in accordance with this Section). Unless otherwise agreed herein, all Notices must be delivered by personal delivery, nationally recognized overnight courier, or certified or registered mail (in each case, return receipt requested, postage prepaid). Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, a Notice is effective only (a) on receipt by the receiving Party; and (b) if the Party giving the Notice has complied with the requirements of this Section.

    15. Headings, Construction, and Advice of Counsel. Section headings in this Agreement are for convenience only and will not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of each section. The word “including” is not intended to be limiting. No rule of strict construction is to be used when interpreting this Agreement. The Parties acknowledge that they have been advised by counsel of their own choosing, played equal parts in negotiating this Agreement and that its terms will be interpreted without any bias against one Party as drafter.
    16. Entire Agreement.  This Agreement (including the Order Form) and any other referenced documents reflect the entire agreement between the parties concerning the Software, Professional Services, and Subscription, and supersede any prior or contemporaneous agreements, communications, or understandings (whether written or oral).  Both Parties must agree in writing to any amendments or modifications. All terms, conditions, or provisions which may appear as pre-printed language or otherwise be inserted within any purchase order shall be of no force and effect notwithstanding the acceptance of such purchase order after the date of this Agreement.  If any provision of this Agreement is declared invalid or unenforceable, then the court shall replace the invalid or unenforceable provision with a valid and enforceable provision that most accurately reflects the Parties’ intentions, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect
