If the dispute is not resolved by Senior Management, Exivity reserves the right to immediately suspend all access to the Application, Work Product and its Support, terminate these Terms and declare all sums due and immediately payable. In the event a Exivity invoice contains both disputed and undisputed amounts due, Licensee shall pay the undisputed portion of such invoice per these Terms.
These Terms shall commence on the date Exivity signs the Quote (the “Effective Date”) and shall continue for a period of three (3) years unless otherwise indicated on the Quote (the “Initial Term”). Thereafter, these Terms shall renew for successive one (1) year terms (each a “Renewal Term”), unless either Party gives sixty (60) days written notice of its intention not to renew prior to the end of the Initial Term or the then-current Renewal Term. Licensee shall remain obligated for the payment of all fees accrued through the effective date of the termination.
These Terms shall terminate as set forth in Section 11.2.
If Licensee fails to make any undisputed payment due to Exivity per the payment terms herein (including, without limitation, the Quote) and fails to cure such breach within ten (10) days after receiving written notice from Exivity. In the event of such breach, Exivity reserves the right to immediately turn off all access to the Application, Work Product and its Support, terminate these Terms and declare all sums due and immediately payable.
(b) Except as set forth in the preceding subsection, if either party materially breaches any term or condition herein and fails to cure such breach within thirty (30) days after receiving written notice of the breach, the non-breaching party may, terminate these Terms on written notice at any time following the end of such five (5) day period.
Obligations on Termination. If these Terms are terminated hereunder, all of Licensee’s rights to the Application, Work Product, Documentation and Support including, but not limited to, use and access, shall automatically terminate. Licensee shall immediately cease any use of the Application and Work Product upon such termination or expiration, terminate Authorized User access to the Application, and remove the Application from Licensee systems.

Licensee shall certify such return or destruction to Exivity within thirty (30) days of the termination date.

The parties agree that in the event of any use or transfer of the Application, Work Product or portions thereof by Licensee in a manner that is not expressly permitted herein, or in the event of any breach or threatened breach of Section 1 and Section 8 by Licensee, Exivity will suffer an irreparable injury, such that no remedy at law will afford Exivity adequate protection or appropriate compensation for such injury. Accordingly, in addition to remedies available at law, Licensee hereby agrees that Exivity shall be entitled to specific performance of Licensee’s obligations under these Terms, without bond, as well as such further injunctive relief granted by a court of competent jurisdiction.
Waiver or Delay. Any waiver of any kind or character by either party of a breach of these Terms must be in writing, shall be effective only to the extent set forth in such writing, and shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach by the other party. No failure of either party to insist upon strict compliance by the other with any obligation or provision hereunder, and no custom or practice of the parties at variance with the terms hereof, shall constitute a waiver of either party’s right to demand exact compliance with the Agreement. Nor shall either party’s delay or omission in exercising any right, power or remedy upon a breach or default by the other party impair any such right, power or remedy. The exercise of any right or remedy provided in these Terms shall be without prejudice to the right to exercise any other right or remedy provided by law or equity.
Force Majeure. If by reason of labor disputes, strikes, lockouts, riots, war, acts of terrorism, inability to obtain labor or materials, earthquake, fire or other action of the elements, accidents, governmental restrictions, appropriation or other causes beyond the control of a party hereto, either party is unable to perform in whole or in part its obligations as set forth in these Terms, then such party shall be relieved of those obligations (other than the payment of money) to the extent it is so unable to perform and such inability to perform shall not make such party liable to the other party. Neither party shall be liable for any loss, injury, delay or damages (other than failure to receive monies when due) suffered or incurred by the other party due to the above causes.
Survival of Obligations. The parties agree that their respective obligations and duties under Sections 1.2 (Restrictions), 4.2 (Exclusions), 5.4 (Liability), 5.5 (Title), 6.1 (Proprietary Rights), 6.2 (Audit Rights), 7.2 (Exclusions), 7.3 (No Other Warranty; Disclaimer), 7.4 (Limited Liability), 8 (Confidential Information), 9 (Indemnity), 11.3 (Obligations on Termination), 12 (General Provisions) and 13 (Definitions) and any claims by Exivity for amounts due, and any antecedent claims for breach of contract, shall survive any expiration or termination of these Terms.
Severability. If any provision of these Terms shall be found by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be limited to the minimum extent necessary so that these Terms shall otherwise remain in effect.
Arbitration. Except as to claims or disputes arising out of or relating to Sections 1.2, 6 and 7 (the “Non-Arbitrable Claims”), any controversy, claim or dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms, shall be determined by arbitration in The Netherlands before a sole arbitrator. If the parties are unable to agree on an arbitrator within thirty (30) days of the filing of the demand for arbitration, an arbitrator shall be selected pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration rules and procedures of the European Law. The parties hereto shall be entitled to reasonable discovery (both documentary and depositions) in any such arbitration. The non-prevailing party shall bear all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, administrative costs and the fees of the arbitrator in connection with such arbitration. The arbitration award shall be in writing and, shall specify the factual and legal basis for the award and shall be conclusive and final.
Governing Law. These Terms shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the Netherlands, without giving effect to its internal conflict of law provisions. Each party will voluntarily appear before and hereby consents and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Netherlands in connection with any suit, action, proceeding or counterclaim against it arising out of or in any way relating to Non-Arbitrable Claims. In addition, each party consents to venue and hereby waives objections to venue for any such action commenced in such courts related to such Non-Arbitrable Claims and to enforcement of any requirements of Section 12.8 or enforcement of any arbitration decision or award pursuant to Section 12.8. All actions related to or arising out of these Terms must be brought within one (1) year after the cause of action accrued. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably waives all right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaims arising out of or relating to these Terms or any other document. The prevailing party in any such litigation or dispute shall be entitled to recover from the other party its costs and fees, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, associated with such litigation or dispute. The parties exclude in its entirety the application to these Terms of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.
Assignment and Successor Entities.

Exivity may assign these Terms without notice to or consent of Licensee in the event of a merger (by operation of law or otherwise), reorganization, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of Exivity’s assets.
Relationship of the Parties. Nothing contained in these Terms shall be construed as creating any agency, partnership, or other form of joint enterprise between the parties. The relationship between the parties shall at all time be that of independent contractors. Neither party shall have authority to contract for or bind the other in any manner whatsoever. These Terms confer no rights upon either party except those expressly granted herein.
Counterparts. These Terms may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

These Terms may not be modified except in a writing executed by duly authorized representatives of the parties.
