9. GENERAL PROVISIONS

 

9.1 Assignment. Neither party may assign this Agreement nor any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party, except that Rhumbix may assign this Agreement without the written consent of Customer as part of a corporate reorganization, upon a change of control, consolidation, merger, reincorporation, sale of all or substantially all of its assets related to this Agreement or a similar transaction or series of transactions. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns.

 

9.2 Force Majeure. Except for the obligation to pay money, neither party will be liable for any failure or delay in its performance under this Agreement due to any cause beyond its reasonable control, including without limitation an act of war, terrorism, act of God, earthquake, flood, embargo, riot, sabotage, labor shortage or dispute, governmental act or failure of the Internet. The delayed party shall give the other party notice of such cause and shall use its reasonable commercial efforts to correct such failure or delay in performance.

 

9.3 Non-Solicitation. Customer agrees that it will not, during the Subscription Term, and for a period of one (1) year thereafter, solicit for employment any employee of Rhumbix without Rhumbix’s prior written consent. For the avoidance of doubt, employment arising out of a response to general public solicitations and advertisements shall not be deemed a violation of this Section 9.3.

 

9.4 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of California without reference to conflict of laws principles. The application of the United Nations Convention of Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. If a lawsuit or court proceeding is permitted under this Agreement, the parties will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in San Francisco, California, and the parties hereby agree and consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of these courts.

 

9.5 Arbitration. The parties agree to resolve all disputes arising under or in connection with this Agreement through binding arbitration. A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other party, pursuant to the notice directions in Section 9.6. The parties will use good faith efforts to resolve the dispute directly, but if the parties do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the notice is received, either party may commence an arbitration proceeding. The arbitration will be conducted in accordance with the applicable rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). The arbitration will be held in San Francisco County, California, USA. If the parties do not agree on an arbitrator, the arbitrator will be selected in accordance with the applicable rules of the AAA for the appointment of an arbitrator. The selection of an arbitrator under the rules of the AAA will be final and binding on the parties. The arbitrator must be independent of the parties. The arbitrator will limit discovery as reasonably practicable to complete the arbitration as soon as practicable. The arbitrator’s decision will be final and binding on both parties, and the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. The costs and expenses of the arbitration will be shared equally by both parties; however, if the arbitrator finds that either the substance of the claim or the relief sought in arbitration is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. This Section 9.4 will not prohibit either party from: (a) bringing an individual action in small claims court; (b) seeking injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction; (c) pursuing an enforcement action through the applicable federal, state, or local agency if that action is available, or (d) filing suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim. If this Section 9.5 is found to be unenforceable, the parties agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in Section 9.4 will govern any action arising out of or related to this Agreement.

 

9.6 Notice. Any required notice shall be given in writing by customary means with receipt confirmed at the address of each party set forth on the Order, or to such other address as either party may substitute by written notice to the other. Notices will be deemed to have been given at the time of actual delivery in person or upon sending of email (provided that receipt has been confirmed by telephone or email reply). Rhumbix may use subcontractors.

 

9.7 Purchase Orders. No terms of any purchase order, acknowledgment or other form provided by Customer will modify this Agreement, regardless of any failure of Rhumbix to object to such terms.

 

9.8 Order of Precedence. The following order of precedence shall apply: Any Order form, applicable Statement of Work, other exhibit or document referencing this Agreement and executed by the Parties, and then Agreement.

 

9.9 Publicity. During any applicable Service Term, Customer grants Rhumbix the right to identify Customer as a customer of the applicable Rhumbix services, including using the Customer’s logo, solely in marketing materials and on the Rhumbix website. Neither party shall issue any press release regarding this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party.

 

9.10 Entirety. This Agreement (together with any Exhibits, Orders, Order Forms, and SOWs hereto) is the sole agreement of the parties concerning the subject matter hereof, and it supersedes all prior agreements and understandings with respect to said subject matter.

 

9.11 Amendments and Waivers. Except as set forth in this Agreement, this Agreement may only be amended by a writing signed by both parties. Waiver of any term of this Agreement or forbearance to enforce any term by either party shall not constitute a waiver as to any subsequent breach or failure of the same term or a waiver of any other term of this Agreement. Any provision found to be unlawful, unenforceable or void shall be severed from the remainder of this Agreement, and the Agreement will continue in full force and effect without said provision.
