If Company fails, at any time during the term of this License, to insist upon strict performance of any of the Client’s obligations under this License, or fails to exercise any of the rights or remedies to which Company is entitled under this License, this shall not constitute a waiver of such rights or remedies and shall not relieve the Client from compliance with such obligations. A waiver by Company of any default shall not constitute a waiver of any subsequent default. No waiver by Company of any of the terms and conditions of this License shall be effective unless it is expressly stated to be a waiver and is communicated to the Client in writing.

(e) Severability. If any of the terms of this License are determined by any competent authority to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable to any extent, such term, condition or provision will to that extent be severed from the remaining terms, conditions and provisions which will continue to be valid to the fullest extent permitted by law.

(f) Entire Agreement. This License, and any document expressly referred to herein, including the Order Form, represent the entire agreement between Company, each Affiliate and the Client in relation to the licensing of the Licensed Program, the Company Products and the Generated Works and supersedes any prior agreement, understanding or arrangement between the parties, whether oral or in writing, including any earlier terms and conditions relating to the Company Products appearing in Company's catalogues, websites or elsewhere, Affiliate’s marketing, or referred to by the Client whether in the Order Form or during any negotiations.

(g) Law and Jurisdiction. The terms and conditions of this License shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States and the State of California and, for any judicial dispute arising out of this License, the parties consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state courts located in Santa Clara County, California, and the federal courts located in San Jose, California.

(h) Arbitration. Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach, termination or validity of this Agreement will be submitted to arbitration as prescribed herein. Any arbitration related to this Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the terms of this Section. The parties will agree on a single arbitrator engaged in the practice of law within thirty (30) days of receipt of a notice of intent to arbitrate. Such arbitrator will be knowledgeable about the industry and law relevant to this Agreement and will conduct the arbitration under the current rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), unless otherwise provided herein. The arbitrator will be selected in accordance with AAA procedures from a list of qualified people maintained by AAA. The arbitration will be conducted in San Jose, California. The arbitrator’s decision and award will be final and binding, and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereon. Any duty to arbitrate under this Agreement will remain in effect and enforceable after termination of this Agreement for any reason. Because both parties to this Agreement have been represented by legal counsel, and the parties have had the opportunity to negotiate individual provisions of this Agreement, the arbitrator will not construe any ambiguity that may exist in this Agreement in favor of or against either party. If any provision of this agreement to arbitrate is held invalid or unenforceable, it shall be so held to the minimum extent required by law and all other provisions shall remain valid and enforceable.
