Governing Law; Dispute Resolution.

a. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the state of Wyoming. Any disputes shall be subject to exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in Wyoming.

The arbitration proceeding shall be conducted under the applicable rules of the American Arbitration Association in Wyoming. If such organization ceases to exist, the arbitration shall be conducted by its successor, or by a similar arbitration organization, at the time a demand for arbitration is made. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on both Parties. The prevailing Party shall be entitled to recover from the other Party the expenses for the arbitrator's fee, attorney's fees and travel expenses, expert testimony, and travel expenses of experts, and for all other expenses of presenting the case.

b.

c. CLIENT HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS GIVING UP THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE A DISPUTE IN COURT BEFORE A JUDGE OR JURY. CLIENT AND THE COMPANY AGREE TO ARBITRATE IN EACH OF ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITIES ONLY, NOT AS A REPRESENTATIVE OR MEMBER OF A CLASS, AND EACH PARTY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO FILE A CLASS ACTION OR SEEK RELIEF ON A CLASS BASIS.
No Joint Venture/Partnership. The relationship established by this Agreement is that of independent contractors and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to: (i) give either Party the power to direct and control the business activities of the other, (ii) constitute the Parties as partners, joint venturers, agents, franchisor/franchisee or otherwise as participants in a joint or common undertaking, or (iii) allow either Party to create or assume any obligation on behalf of the other Party.
Force Majeure. Neither Party will be responsible for any failure or delay in performance due, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, to any contingency, delay, failure, or cause of any nature beyond its reasonable control, including, without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing, fire, terrorism, epidemic, earthquake, storm, flood or other weather, unavailability of necessary utilities or raw materials, strike, lockout, unavailability of components, war, riot, acts of God, regulation, ordinance, or instructions of government or other public authorities, or judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction (not arising out of breach by such Party of this Agreement) or other event that is traditionally recognized by Wyoming courts as an event of force majeure. In the event of the happening of such a cause, the Party whose performance is so affected will give prompt, written notice to the other Party, stating the period of time the same is expected to continue. Such delay will not be excused under this section for more than one hundred eighty (180) days.
Assignment. Client may not assign, sub-contract and/or delegate its rights and obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Company, except that Client may assign this Agreement to a successor or acquirer of all or substantially all its business or assets to which this Agreement relates. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement inures to the benefit of and is binding on the Parties’ permitted assignees, transferees, and successors. Any assignment, sub-contract, or delegation in violation of the foregoing is void.
Liability Waiver. IN NO EVENT SHALL COMPANY BE LIABLE TO CLIENT OR TO ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY UNFORSEEABLE LOSS OF USE, REVENUE, OR PROFIT OR LOSS OF DATA OR DIMINUTION IN VALUE, OR FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, EXEMPLARY, SPECIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES WHETHER ARISING OUT OF BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), OR OTHERWISE, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH DAMAGE WAS FORESEEABLE AND WHETHER OR NOT CLIENT HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, AND NOTWITHSTANDING THE FAILURE OF ANY AGREED OR OTHER REMEDY OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. IN NO EVENT SHALL COMPANY’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), OR OTHERWISE, EXCEED THE AGGREGATE AMOUNTS PAID OR PAYABLE TO COMPANY PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT.
Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction.
