Notwithstanding the foregoing, ICS will have no liability to Customer if any Customer Data or any backup is lost, damaged or unrecoverable for any reason, except to the extent any such loss/damage results from ICS’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
2.10 Authorized Users.
(a) Authorized Users may choose to upload Customer Data via the Subscription Services for use within the Software. Customer shall be responsible for issuing each Authorized User a user ID and password, which may not be shared or used by more than one person. However, a user ID and password may be reassigned from time to time to a new Authorized User replacing a former Authorized User. Customer will use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the confidentiality of all usernames and passwords. Customer shall promptly notify ICS when it reasonably determines or suspects a username or password has been compromised or an Authorized User is no longer employed by or working directly for or on behalf of Customer on matters relating to Customer’s use of the Subscription Services, or if an Authorized User should otherwise be denied access to the Subscription Services.
(b) Customer may not use or permit use of the Subscription Services for more than the Customer’s current number of Authorized Users as specified in the applicable Order Form. Customer may purchase access for additional Authorized Users during a Subscription Period in excess of the number set forth on the original Order Form at the then-current price, prorated for the remaining portion of the Subscription Period. The Subscription Period for any additional Authorized User shall end with Customer’s current Subscription Period for that Subscription Service. Customer agrees to notify ICS if the number of Authorized Users increases and to pay the additional fees as specified in the applicable Order Form for those additional Authorized Users. Unless otherwise provided, the number of Authorized Users cannot be reduced during any Subscription Period.
(c) Customer may not permit use of the Subscription Services by anyone other than the Authorized Users who are (a) employees of Customer, (b) employees of an affiliate, or (c) sub-contractors or consultant personnel of Customer.

Submission of support Service requests and the use of the ICS help desk and support Services functions will only be made by the Customer Administrator.

Only Customer Administrators may contact the InContext support Services help desk and InContext has no obligation to respond to help desk requests from any Authorized User or other individual that is not a Customer Administrator. Customer Administrators will receive one (1) training session from InContext to be scheduled at a time mutually acceptable to both Parties as further set out on the Order Form. Any requested help desk Services outside regular business hours or outside the scope of standard support Services may be provided by InContext for additional fees pursuant to a Statement of Work under the Master Services Agreement or separate written agreement between the Parties.

Customer will reasonably cooperate with ICS to identify the source of any problem with the Subscription Services that ICS reasonably believes may be attributable to Customer Data or excessive use of the Subscription Services.
2.13 Maintenance. ICS regularly provides upgrades, modifications, improvements, enhancements, extensions, new releases, and other changes to the Subscription Services, Software and User Manual in its discretion (collectively “Updates”), and therefore the Subscription Services are continually evolving. ICS will make all Updates available to Customer when they become generally available. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Updates shall not materially diminish the features or functionality of the Software or Subscription Services available as of the Effective Date and Updates shall not unreasonably interfere with Customer’s access to and use of the Software or Subscription Services. ICS has no obligation to issue any Updates. Any Software upgrades or modifications, improvements and other changes that provide substantial new functionality (“Upgrades”) may be separately licensed by ICS for an additional fee. The determination of which constitutes an Update, and any Upgrades shall be at ICS’s sole discretion.
2.14 Features and Functions. ICS reserves the right to change or discontinue features or functionality of the Software or Subscription Services from time to time; provided, however, that any such change shall not materially diminish the features or functionality of the Software or Subscription Services available as of the Effective Date. In the event such changes to materially diminish the features or functions, Customer can terminate the applicable Order Form in its discretion, which termination is Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy for such change. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Customer understands, acknowledges, and agrees that (i) certain features and functionalities of the Subscription Services are provided by Third-Party software, the use of which ICS licenses from such Third Parties and (ii) ICS shall not be responsible for or liable for any damages resulting from the discontinuance, reduction, or other modification of such features or functionality as a result of the acts or omissions of such Third Parties, including but not limited to the revocation of any such licenses.
2.15 Not Fault Tolerant. THE SOFTWARE OR SUBSCRIPTION SERVICES MAY CONTAIN TECHNOLOGY THAT IS NOT FAULT TOLERANT AND THE SOFTWARE AND SUBSCRIPTION SERVICES ARE NOT DESIGNED, MANUFACTURED, OR INTENDED FOR USE IN ENVIRONMENTS OR APPLICATIONS IN WHICH THE FAILURE OF THE SOFTWARE OR SUBSCRIPTION SERVICES COULD LEAD TO DEATH, PERSONAL INJURY, OR SEVERE PHYSICAL, PROPERTY, OR ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE.
2.16 Third-Party Components. Access to the Software may require a license to certain Third-Party software and/or software components, which, unless otherwise explicitly set forth in the applicable Order Form, may be accessed through ICS’s website at no additional cost to Customer. Use of such Third-Party software and/or software components will be subject to the Third-Party licensor terms and conditions, if any and as set forth in Exhibit B and any corresponding attachments, if any.
2.17 Performance Indicators. Access to the Software may include access to the Software performance indicators that may be available within the Software as designated on the applicable Order Form (“Performance Indicators”), which allows Customer to upload its own market research parameters and test questions on Customer Data for use in a specified number of do-it-yourself tests as identified on the applicable Order Form. In the event Customer uses such feature, it is responsible for the effectiveness of any test results generated, which are outside of ICS’s control.
2.18 Hosting Infrastructure. ICS will be responsible for operating and maintaining (or engaging a Third-Party to do so on its behalf) the Hosting Infrastructure to provide the Subscription Services.
2.19 Customer Responsibilities. It is understood that ICS’s ability to perform and deliver Subscription Services in accordance with the applicable Order Form is dependent upon Customer’s reasonable provision of information and approvals, and compliance with and performance of Customer’s obligations within timelines/deadlines set forth in the applicable Order Form, including, e.g., as applicable, providing ICS with timely, complete and sufficient access to Customer Data, providing access to appropriately skilled Customer personnel, as well as compliance with timing, requirements, lead times, scheduling and other related matters which will impact the plans, delivery schedule and other matters associated with the Subscription Services, as well as prompt responses to ICS’s questions and requests as necessary for ICS to complete the Subscription Services. ICS will not be liable for any failure or delays in performing the Subscription Services if and to the extent such failure or delay is caused by Customer’s unreasonable failure to provide the information, approvals or other cooperation necessary pursuant to its obligations under the applicable Order Form to allow ICS to perform its obligations under the applicable Order Form.
2.20 Customer Data Format. Customer Data must be provided in a format that conforms to the relevant format specifications provided by ICS. Customer is solely responsible for the accuracy and integrity of Customer Data it provides to ICS. ICS is entitled to and will rely upon the accuracy and completeness of Customer Data and all other data, material responses, and other information furnished to it by or on behalf of Customer, without any independent investigation or verification, unless otherwise expressly provided in the applicable Order Form, related working documents or Statement of Work, if any. Customer may not upload or transmit any Customer Data to ICS (via the Subscription Services or otherwise) unless Customer has the right and authority for such upload or transmission. ICS reserves the right to remove any Customer Data that violates this Agreement and/or the Software Acceptable Use Policy, as applicable, and may refuse to utilize any Customer Data that ICS determines in good faith fails to meet the required format specifications. ICS has no obligation to make use of any Customer Data or other materials provided by or on behalf of Customer if ICS reasonably believes the same to infringe a Third-Party’s intellectual property rights, provided ICS notifies Customer in advance without delay in the event that ICS makes such determination.
3. Personnel.
3.1 Staffing. The ICS account manager or other designated ICS representative shall coordinate performance of Order Forms with the Customer project manager or other designated Customer representative.

ICS shall be responsible for enforcing the requirements of this Agreement with respect to its subcontractors and other ICS Personnel and shall be responsible for any Subscription Services provided by its subcontractors and other ICS Personnel hereunder to the same extent as if performed by ICS itself. ICS is responsible and liable to Customer for any breach of such terms and conditions.

8.2 Definition. Subject to the exclusions in Section 8.3, below, the term “Confidential Information” shall mean any and all information that the Disclosing Party furnished to the Receiving Party, which information is considered and maintained by the Disclosing Party as confidential and which is otherwise understood given the content of the information and the circumstances of disclosure to be confidential, whether tangible or intangible and whatever form or medium provided, including all information generated by the Receiving Party that contains, reflects or is derived from such furnished information, namely, (i) in the case of ICS as the Disclosing Party, ICS’s Confidential Information includes the Software and InContext Technologies, capabilities, research methods, product plans, business practices and plans, and any other information that relates to ICS and the way ICS conducts its business and (ii) in the case of Customer as the Disclosing Party, Customer’s Confidential Information includes Customer Materials, Customer Data, and Insight Data even though such information may be received by Customer from ICS and/or developed by ICS pursuant to this Agreement.
8.3 Confidential Information shall not include any information which:
8.3.1 is already known to the Receiving Party (as shown by documentary evidence) at the time of disclosure by or on behalf of the Disclosing Party and was not received directly or indirectly from the Disclosing Party;
8.3.2 is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of an act or default of the Receiving Party or any of its affiliates, agents, employees, contractors, or representatives in breach of the terms hereof;

8.4 In consideration of the Disclosing Party’s disclosure to the Receiving Party of Confidential Information, the Receiving Party shall, both during the Term and for five (5) years subsequent to the Term, retain in strict confidence, and not disclose in any manner whatsoever, in whole or in part, to any person other than Permitted Recipients (defined below), or use for any purpose other than in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Agreement and any applicable Order Form, any Confidential Information. The Receiving Party, may disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information to its direct and indirect affiliates and its and their respective directors, officers, employees, advisors and representatives (collectively, the “Permitted Recipients“) who need to know the Confidential Information for the purposes of the Services hereunder, provided that such Permitted Recipients are legally obligated to the Receiving Party: (i) to hold such information in confidence and (ii) to use such information only for the purposes expressed herein. Receiving Party agrees, at its sole expense, to take all reasonable measures to prevent prohibited or unauthorized disclosure or use of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information and shall be liable for any breach by Permitted Recipients.
8.5 Each Party acknowledges that unauthorized disclosure of the other Party’s Confidential Information could give rise to irreparable injury to the other Party and that such injury may be inadequately compensable in damages. Accordingly, the Disclosing Party is entitled, in addition to the rights and remedies it may have under and pursuant to this Agreement or under applicable law, and without posting bond, to have an injunction issued by any competent court enjoining and restraining the other Party and/or its affiliates, employees, personnel, agents, representatives and consultants from continuing any breach or threatened breach of the foregoing undertakings.

In the event that any Confidential Information is required to be disclosed by law, including without limitation, pursuant to the terms of a subpoena or similar document or in connection with litigation, arbitration or other proceedings, the Receiving Party shall use its reasonable efforts to give prior prompt notice of such disclosure to the Disclosing Party, and shall allow the Disclosing Party, in its sole discretion and at its sole expense, to contest the disclosure of Confidential Information on the Disclosing Party’s behalf, and the Receiving Party will reasonably cooperate with the Disclosing Party in such efforts to contest such disclosure. In any event, the Receiving Party agrees to furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information which it reasonably believes, on the basis of advice of its legal counsel, that Receiving Party is legally required to disclose and will exercise reasonable efforts to obtain confidential treatment for that part of the Confidential Information being disclosed.
8.7 Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement, the Receiving Party shall return all originals and copies of any Confidential Information to the Disclosing Party or, with respect to copies, shall certify to the Disclosing Party that all copies of Confidential Information in the Receiving Party’s control have been destroyed.

The Parties agree and understand that any information or materials provided by Disclosing Party or generated by Receiving Party pursuant to this Agreement are subject to United States laws and regulations, which may restrict exports, re-exports or other transfers to other countries and parties. The Parties agree that no material or information will be exported, re-exported, transferred or disclosed contrary to the applicable laws and regulations of the United States, or to any country, entity or other party which is ineligible to receive such items under U.S. law and regulations including the regulations of the U.S. Department of Commerce and the U.S. Department of Treasury. The Parties agree and understand that each Party shall be solely responsible for (i) complying with applicable laws and regulations related to the performance of their obligations hereunder and (ii) monitoring any modifications to them.
10. Publicity. For purposes of clarification, and not in limitation of the duty of confidentiality set forth above, each Party acknowledges and agrees that it shall not use the name (or any trademark, logo, or service mark) of the other Party without the prior written consent of the other Party in each instance. Neither Party may, without the prior written consent of the other in each instance, which such consent will not be unreasonably delayed, conditioned, or withheld, make any public announcement, issue any press release, make any statement to any Third-Party, or make or authorize the publication of any external article, that relates to, or otherwise gives publicity to this Agreement. Either Party may identify the other Party or disclose the existence of this Agreement to its attorneys, auditors, and in connection with regulatory filings to the extent reasonably required by such regulations.

THE FOREGOING LIMITATION WILL APPLY WHETHER AN ACTION IS IN CONTRACT OR TORT AND REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY BUT WILL NOT LIMIT CUSTOMER’S AND ITS AFFILIATES’ PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS UNDER SECTION 4 ABOVE.
IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY OR ITS AFFILIATES HAVE ANY LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT FOR ANY LOST PROFITS, REVENUES, GOODWILL, OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, COVER, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, WHETHER AN ACTION IS IN CONTRACT OR TORT AND REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY, EVEN IF A PARTY OR ITS AFFILIATES HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES OR IF A PARTY’S OR ITS AFFILIATES’ REMEDY OTHERWISE FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. THE FOREGOING DISCLAIMER WILL NOT APPLY TO THE EXTENT PROHIBITED BY LAW.
12. Audit. During the Term of this Agreement and for a period of two (2) years following termination of the Agreement, Customer may, with reasonable notice, audit ICS’ books and records (electronic or hard copy) relating to this Agreement and ICS agrees to securely maintain its books and records for such period. With ten (10) business days advance written notice, ICS will make available such books and records for Customer’s personnel, accountants and/or auditors for inspection and will enable Customer to review and audit the processes and procedures ICS observes to perform under this Agreement and to produce related records. Upon such advance written request, ICS shall allow on-site audits and, in such case, ICS agrees to schedule such audits during ICS’ regular business hours. Any such audit shall be limited to not more than one (1) per year and (i) must be supervised by and performed in the presence of ICS Personnel; (ii) must be performed in accordance with ICS’s reasonable security policies and procedures; (iii) if using a Third-Party, then the Third-Party reviewer must enter into a non-disclosure agreement with ICS; and (iv) the Third-Party reviewer shall not be a direct competitor or an affiliated company or representative of a direct competitor, as determined in the sole discretion of ICS. All audit-related data exchanged shall be treated as Confidential Information by the Parties. If an audit reveals that Customer was materially overcharged (more than 5% of total amounts paid for the audit period), in addition to a refund, ICS will be responsible for the reasonable costs of the audit.
13. Mutual Indemnification.
13.1 Customer. Customer shall indemnify, defend and hold ICS and its Affiliates, and each of their respective officers, directors, shareholders, employees, and agents harmless from and against any Third-Party claims to the extent arising from (i) any business decision made by Customer based on its use of Subscription Services, Software, or Deliverables, if any; (ii) Customer’s violation of any applicable law, rule or regulation; (iii) Customer’s misuse of Subscription Services, Software, or Deliverables, if any, or any unauthorized modifications to the same; or (iv) any claims that ICS’s authorized use of Customer Data or other Customer Materials as provided by or on behalf of Customer, in the provision of Subscription Services infringe the intellectual property or other proprietary rights of a Third-Party (“Claim Against ICS”), and will indemnify ICS from any damages, attorney fees and costs finally awarded against ICS as a result of, or for amounts paid by ICS under a settlement approved by Customer in writing of, a Claim Against Customer; provided ICS (a) promptly gives Customer written notice of the Claim Against ICS, (b) gives Customer sole control of the defense and settlement of the Claim Against ICS (except that Customer may not settle any Claim Against ICS unless it unconditionally releases ICS of all liability), and (c) gives Customer all reasonable assistance, at Customer’s expense. The above defense and indemnification obligations do not apply if a Claim Against ICS arises from ICS’s breach of this Agreement or applicable Order Forms.
13.2 ICS. ICS shall indemnify, defend and hold Customer and its Affiliates, and each of their respective officers, directors, shareholders, employees, and agents harmless from and against any Third-Party claims arising from Customer purchased Subscription Services that (a) ICS’s violation of any applicable law, rule or regulation or (b) any claims that Customer’s authorized use of the Subscription Services, Software, or Deliverables, if any, as provided by ICS infringe the intellectual property rights of a Third-Party (“Claim Against Customer”), and will indemnify Customer from any damages, attorney fees and costs finally awarded against Customer as a result of, or for amounts paid by Customer under a settlement approved by ICS in writing of, a Claim Against Customer; provided Customer (a) promptly gives ICS written notice of the Claim Against Customer, (b) gives ICS sole control of the defense and settlement of the Claim Against Customer (except that ICS may not settle any Claim Against Customer unless it unconditionally releases Customer of all liability), and (c) gives ICS all reasonable assistance, at ICS’s expense. In addition to defending Customer and its Affiliates as stated above in this Section 13.2, without limiting Customer’s rights or other available remedies, if a claim occurs or, in ICS’s opinion, is likely to occur, ICS shall, at its sole option and expense, either (i) procure for Customer the right to use such technology/rights, (ii) modify the Subscription Services, Software, or Deliverables, if any, or any part thereof, so that it does not infringe on any Third-Party’s claimed rights, provided, however that such modification will not prevent such Subscription Services, Software, or Deliverables, if any, or any part thereof, from performing its present and intended function and/or (iii) provide Customer with substitute or replacement Subscription Services, Software, or Deliverables, if any, and a right to use the same, provided that such will perform the intended functions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the foregoing obligations shall not apply in the event it is determined that the infringement claim directly arises solely from (A) Customer’s unauthorized use of the Subscription Services or Software; (B) negligence or misconduct on the part of Customer or its personnel; (C) arises from Services under an Order Form for which there is no charge; (D) modification to any InContext Technologies made by Customer without ICS’s prior express written consent; or (E) Customer’s combination of any InContext Technologies with or use by Customer of any Third-Party software, hardware, or other technology not provided or authorized for use by ICS.
13.3 The indemnifying Party’s obligations under this Section 13 shall not apply to the extent any such claims are caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates, agents, contractors or employees.
13.4 The absence of insurance shall not diminish a Party’s responsibility to defend or indemnify the other Party’s Indemnitees.
13.5 Exclusive Remedy. This mutual indemnification states the indemnifying Party’s sole liability to, and the indemnified Party’s exclusive remedy against, the other Party for any Third-Party claim described in this Section 13.
14. Independent Contractor. The relationship of the Parties under this Agreement and each Order Form is that of independent contractors. Nothing contained in this Agreement, or any Order Form is intended or is to be construed so as to constitute the Parties as partners, joint venturers, or one Party as an agent or employee of the other Party. Neither Party has any express or implied right under this Agreement or any Order Form to assume or create any obligation on behalf of or in the name of the other Party or to bind the other Party to any contract, agreement or undertaking with any Third-Party, and no conduct of a Party will be deemed to infer such right. To the extent ICS engages the services of any individual to support the Services under this Agreement or any Order Form, ICS is responsible for compliance with any applicable employment or tax laws.
15. Third-Party Beneficiaries. There are no third-party beneficiaries under this Agreement.
16. Assignment. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 16, neither Party may assign this Agreement without consent of the other Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such consent from the non-assigning Party will not be required in the event that the other Party assigns to a wholly owned subsidiary or in connection with a transaction that involves the sale, merger or transfer of substantially all of the assets of the Party’s business to which this Agreement relates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Party is acquired by, sells substantially all of its assets to, or undergoes a change of control in favor of, a direct competitor of the other Party, then such other Party may terminate this Agreement upon written notice. In the event of such a termination, InContext will refund Customer any prepaid fees covering the remainder of the Term of the Subscription Period after the effective date of such termination. Any permitted successor will continue to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. No assignment shall be valid unless the permitted assignee(s) assumes all obligations of its assignor under this Agreement. No assignment shall relieve any Party of responsibility for the performance of its obligations hereunder except as explicitly provided herein.
17. Notices. Any notices required or permitted under this Agreement will be in writing, will refer specifically to this Agreement, and will be sent by recognized national or international overnight courier, confirmed facsimile transmission (provided that duplicative copy is provided via confirmed electronic mail, registered mail or certified mail), or registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or delivered by hand to the address as set forth herein.

The Commercial General Liability insurance policy will provide additional insured status to Customer and its Affiliates (“Additionally Insured Parties”). Except for Technology E&O insurance, all insurance policies shall be on an occurrence basis. General Liability and Employer’s Liability limits may be satisfied with umbrella or excess liability policies. Any insurance or self-insurance that Additionally Insured Parties maintain shall not be called upon to contribute to or reimburse any loss. Upon execution of this Agreement and upon each insurance renewal, ICS will provide Customer with a certificate of insurance evidencing the required coverages set forth above. ICS will require its subcontractors providing Services and Deliverables on behalf of ICS maintain insurance policies with the same terms. ICS will provide Customer with at least 30 days advance notice if any required insurance policy is cancelled.
19. Entire Agreement. This Enterprise License Agreement (including, but not limited to, the terms and conditions, Order Form, Privacy Policy (located at https://incontextsolutions.com/privacy-policy/), and Third-Pary terms, if any) is the entire agreement between the Parties relating to the subject matter herein and supersedes any prior representations or agreements, oral or written and all other communications, except that the protections of any Non-Disclosure Agreement(s) that were executed prior to this Agreement are incorporated into this Agreement and will continue to be in force. This Agreement will not be varied except in writing, signed by the Parties. Except as otherwise explicitly provided in this Agreement the provisions of this Agreement will control and prevail over any conflicting provisions in any proposal, purchase order, acceptance notice, or other document attached hereto and/or related to the subject matter of this Agreement.
20. Severability. If any provision, right or remedy provided for herein is held to be unenforceable or inoperative by a court of competent jurisdiction, the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions will not be affected thereby.
21. Waiver. No waiver will be implied from conduct or failure to enforce rights. Waivers, to be binding, must be made in writing, refer to this Agreement and signed by both Parties. No waiver of the terms of this Agreement or failure by either Party to exercise any option, right or privilege on any occasion or through the course of dealing shall be construed to be a waiver of the same on any other occasion.
22. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which will be deemed to be an original, and all of which together will constitute one and the same agreement. Each Party acknowledges that an original signature or a copy thereof transmitted by facsimile or by PDF will constitute an original signature for purposes of this Agreement.
23. Headings and Captions. The descriptive headings of the articles, sections and subsections of this Agreement are for convenience only and do not constitute a part of this Agreement.
24. Force Majeure. No delay in or failure of performance by either Party under this Agreement will be considered a breach hereof if and to the extent that such delay or failure of performance is caused by an occurrence or occurrences beyond the reasonable control of the party. Neither Party will be liable in any way for failure to perform their respective obligations in respect of any matter (save for Customer liability for InContext’s fees, costs and disbursements) if the failure is due to causes outside the reasonable control of the Party which has failed to perform.
25. Equitable Relief. In the event of a breach or threatened breach by either Party of Section 5 or Section 8 the Parties understand and agree that such a breach would cause irreparable harm to the other Party, which harm would not be sufficiently remedied by an award of damages such that the injured Party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction without the posting of a bond, proof of damages or other similar requirement. Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting the non-breaching Party from pursuing any other remedies available to it for such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of damages.
26. Survival. The following provisions will by their nature survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement: Sections 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, and 13-28.
27. Governing Law. This Agreement is governed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, excluding its conflicts of law provisions. Each of the Parties irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that any suit, action or legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be brought exclusively in the state or Federal courts, as appropriate, located in Delaware, and the Parties hereby consent to the personal jurisdiction and venue of these courts.
28. Miscellaneous. This Agreement includes all attached exhibits, all of which are herein incorporated by reference. This Agreement contains the entire understanding of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all previous agreements and undertakings with respect thereto. This Agreement may be modified only by written agreement signed by the Parties. No Customer purchase order may change the terms of, contain terms in addition to or contain terms inconsistent with this Agreement or any Order Form. Any purchase order is solely for Customer’s administrative use, therefore, any preprinted or special terms contained on the purchase order that are different from and/or additional to those in the relevant Order Form and this Agreement will not be applicable to such Services, or other performance or observance of any other obligations under this Agreement, and all such terms (whether additional or different, and whether or not such terms materially alter this Agreement) will be excluded from the Parties’ contract without the need for any specific objection to or rejection of such terms and conditions. Without limiting the foregoing, ICS hereby notifies Customer that ICS objects to any additional or different terms contained in any purchase order. Neither silence nor any other conduct on the part of ICS will constitute an assent to any additional or different terms proposed by Customer or a waiver of this provision.
