The Refund will be due within thirty (30) days of the end of the calendar month in which the Termination Date occurred. Should the unpaid Fees and/or discounts exceed the Prepaid Amount, Superside will invoice the outstanding amounts.

Each of these provisions is severable and independent of all other provisions of the Agreement, and each of these provisions will apply even if the warranties in the Agreement have failed of their essential purpose.
While this Agreement is in effect, Superside will maintain Commercial General Liability and Cyber Liability and Technology E&O Insurance, each limited to an amount of not less than $1,000,000 in the aggregate.
Superside and Customer are independent contractors and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to place them in the relationship of partners, principal/agent, employer/employee, or joint venturers. Neither Party, including their respective affiliates, directors, officers, employees, representatives, agents, or contractors, shall have the power or right to bind or obligate the other Party, nor shall it hold itself out as having such authority.
Superside may subcontract its obligations and rights to a third-party. Neither Party may assign this Agreement, or any of the rights or obligations hereunder, without the other Party’s prior written consent by a duly authorized representative. Consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Party may assign this Agreement in connection with a bona fide merger, reorganization, acquisition, or other transfer of all or substantially all of such Party’s assets or voting securities. Any attempted assignment or transfer in violation of this Section shall be null and void. Subject to the foregoing restrictions, this Agreement will inure to the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of the Parties. There are no third-party beneficiaries to this Agreement.
This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, USA, without regard to its rules of conflict of laws and without regard to the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. The Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consent to and submit to the exclusive jurisdiction in the state or federal courts located in New Castle County, Delaware for any controversy, dispute, claim, or litigation arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (and agree not to commence any litigation relating thereto except in such courts), waive any objection to the laying of venue of any such litigation in the Delaware Courts and agree not to plead or claim in any Delaware Court that such litigation brought therein has been brought in an inconvenient forum. The Parties each waive their right to a jury trial.

To the extent allowed by applicable law, nothing in this Section shall be construed as limiting or affecting, in any way, the provisions of Section 17 (Governing Law, Jurisdiction, and Venue).
a) The Agreement is the complete and exclusive statement of the mutual understanding of the Parties and supersedes and cancels all previous written and oral agreements, communications, and other understandings relating to the subject matter of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, Section 9 (Confidentiality) supersedes and cancels all previous non-disclosure agreements concluded between the Parties.

In any action or proceeding to enforce rights under the Agreement, the prevailing Party will be entitled to recover costs and attorneys’ fees. Either Party’s failure or delay to exercise or enforce any right or claim does not constitute a waiver of such right or claim and will in no way affect their right to later enforce or exercise it.
If and to the extent that any provision of the Agreement is held illegal, invalid, or unenforceable in whole or in part under applicable law, such provision or such portion thereof will be ineffective as to the jurisdiction in which it is illegal, invalid, or unenforceable to the extent of its illegality, invalidity, or unenforceability, and will be deemed modified to the extent necessary to conform to applicable law so as to give the maximum effect to the intent of the Parties. The illegality, invalidity, or unenforceability of such provision in that jurisdiction will not in any way affect the legality, validity, or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction or of any other provision in any jurisdiction.
Each Party represents and warrants that it (i) is a legal entity duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing, with all requisite corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations hereunder; (ii) is duly licensed, authorized or qualified to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which a license, authorization or qualification is required; (iii) shall comply with all laws and regulations applicable to the performance of its obligations hereunder; (iv) is not a party to any agreement with a third party, the performance of which is reasonably likely to affect adversely its ability to perform fully its respective obligations hereunder; and (v) has all of the necessary right, title, and interest in the relevant intellectual property to be able to grant the IP License as applicable. EXCEPT FOR THE EXPRESS WARRANTIES MADE OR REFERENCED IN THIS AGREEMENT, NEITHER PARTY MAKES ANY WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, CONCERNING THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT, AND EACH PARTY HEREBY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND/OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
