Disputes
Any dispute which cannot be first settled between the parties will be resolved by arbitration. One arbitrator will hear the matter. A party will commence arbitration by delivering a written demand. The Arbitrator will not alter or depart from any express provision of this License; the failure to observe this limitation will constitute grounds for vacating their award. All provisional remedies, such as a preliminary injunction, will be the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and enforceable in any court. The arbitrator does not have the power to commit errors of law. An award based on an error of law may be vacated or corrected on appeal to a Nebraska state court. Arbitration will be in Lincoln, Nebraska, U.S.A. Licensee consents to jurisdiction in Lincoln, Nebraska.
Assignment
Customer will not assign any of its rights without the written consent of Licensor. Licensor may assign this License in its sole discretion.
Interpretation
This License, including the fees for the License and any support fees and terms indicated on an applicable invoice, is the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes and replaces all prior negotiations and agreements regarding the subject matter hereof. These terms are intended as the final, complete and exclusive statement of the terms and cannot be changed, waived or terminated orally. There are no express or implied representations, warranties or inducements, except as set forth. Any uncertainty will not be interpreted based on attribution of drafting. This License is not subject to the U.N. Convention on International Sale of Goods. This License may not be contradicted by evidence of any prior agreement or contemporaneous oral agreement. This License will be interpreted to give Licensor maximum control of the Software and this license. Section headings are for reference only and do not control the meaning. If any provision is invalid, all other provisions remain. The failure of a party to insist upon strict adherence to any provision will not be a waiver of that term and will not prevent that party from enforcing that term. A party will not be prevented from enforcing a term by delay in seeking to enforce it, or on the basis that its conduct was inconsistent with that term. The receipt of any benefit will not prevent a party from enforcing any provision. All communications will be in English. This License is governed by Nebraska law, excluding its conflict of laws principles. This License is effective when Customer clicks through.
