GENERAL PROVISIONS
19. ENTIRE AGREEMENT
19.1. This Agreement together with the Aviatize Privacy Policy and including the Quotations or sales orders agreed to, form the entire agreement between the Parties concerning the subject matter of this Agreement, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, and representations and warranties, both written and oral, with respect to such subject matter.
20. AMENDMENT; WAIVERS; ASSIGNMENT; EQUITABLE RELIEF
20.1. No amendment to or modification of this Agreement is effective unless it is in writing and signed by an authorized representative of each Party. No waiver by any Party of any of the provisions hereof will be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and signed by the Party so waiving. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, (i) no failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any rights, remedy, power, or privilege arising from this Agreement will operate or be construed as a waiver thereof, and (ii) no single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power, or privilege hereunder will preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power, or privilege.
20.2. Customer may not assign any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations hereunder, in each case whether voluntarily, involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of Aviatize. Any purported assignment or delegation in violation of this Article will be null and void. No assignment or delegation will relieve the assigning or delegating Party of any of its obligations hereunder. This Agreement is binding upon and inures to the benefit of the Parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns.
20.3. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that a breach or threatened breach by such Party of any of its obligations under Article 16 or, in the case of Customer, Articles 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9, would cause the other Party irreparable harm for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy and agrees that, in the event of such breach or threatened breach, the other Party will be entitled to equitable relief, including a restraining order, an injunction, specific performance, and any other relief that may be available from any court, without any requirement to post a bond or other security, or to prove actual damages or that monetary damages are not an adequate remedy. Such remedies are not exclusive and are in addition to all other remedies that may be available at law, in equity, or otherwise.
21. VOID OR UNENFORCEABLE PROVISIONS
21.1. If any provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability will not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect their original intent as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.
22. FORCE MAJEURE
22.1. Neither Party shall be liable for non-performance or delay in performance of any obligation under this Agreement if such non-performance or delay is caused by an event of force majeure or other circumstance that was reasonably unforeseeable, and which prevents a Party from performing the Agreement. On the occurrence of such an event, the affected Party shall immediately inform the other Party of the event, and the reasons why it is not able to perform any or all of its obligations under the Agreement. If within a period of forty five (45) days, the event continues and the Parties are unable to identify a workable alternative, either Party may terminate this Agreement.
23. GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION
23.1. This Agreement is governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Arizona without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule that would require or permit the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than those of the State of Arizona.
23.2.With respect to any dispute arising out of, under, or in connection with this Agreement, the Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue (and waive any claim of forum non conveniens) of any federal or state court located in Maricopa County, Arizona. Before instituting proceedings before the Court, Parties will, however, attempt to negotiate in good faith in order to reach an out-of-court settlement.
