9.1 This Agreement shall take effect and be a legally binding agreement between you and Cognitive Code as of (i) the date on which you click on the “Accept” button (indicating your express acceptance of all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement), or (ii) the date on which you elect to download and/or first use the Licensed Software, whichever occurs first, and, unless and until terminated by either of the parties in accordance with the termination provisions set forth in this Section 9, will remain in effect for so long as you continue to comply with all of the terms and conditions applicable to the Licensed Software and/or any Upgrade(s) thereto.

9.2 Termination for Breach.

10. Governing Law

10.1 Irrespective of the place of formation or performance, this Agreement shall be governed, construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New Jersey, excluding that body of law related to choice of laws, and of the United States of America. Any action or proceeding brought to enforce the terms of this Agreement or adjudicate any dispute arising out of this Agreement shall be brought in the County of Los Angeles, State of New Jersey (if under State law) or the Western Division of the Central District of Jersey (if under Federal law). Each of the parties hereby submits itself to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of such courts for purposes of any such action. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may obtain injunctive or other equitable relief regarding the other party’s breach or threatened breach of any material provision of this Agreement in any county, state or country in which such breach or alleged breach occurs. For the avoidance of doubt, the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is not and shall not be applicable to the subject matter of this Agreement.

10.2 Any claim and/or cause of action that may be initiated by you that directly relates to this Agreement or that otherwise relates to the subject matter of this Agreement, including, without limitation, any breach of contract claim or tort claim (including, without limitation, any negligence claim or strict product liability claim) must be commenced by the filing of formal legal proceedings with any court of competent jurisdiction within one (1) year from the date upon which the initial event giving rise to such claim and/or cause of action first occurred. Your failure to timely commence a legal proceeding regarding any such claim and/or cause of action shall result in and shall be deemed to constitute the automatic waiver, release and forfeiture of such claim and/or cause of action for all intents and purposes, without any further action being required of Cognitive Code.

10.3 In the event of any litigation or other proceeding regarding the resolution of any dispute between the parties arising out of this Agreement or otherwise relating to the Licensed Software or other subject matter of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled, in addition to any other rights and remedies available to it at law or in equity, to recover its costs incurred in connection with any such proceeding, including, without limitation, reasonable fees for attorneys, expert witnesses and court costs, and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such party in bringing or defending such action. For purposes of this Section, the term “prevailing party” shall mean the party that is afforded the greater relief (whether affirmatively or by means of a successful defense) with respect to the claim(s) having the greatest value or importance as determined by the court, taking into consideration all of the claims, counterclaims, and defenses asserted under this Agreement.

11. Class Action Waiver

11.1 TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, YOU HEREBY IRREVOCABLY COVENANT AND AGREE THAT YOU SHALL NOT INITIATE ANY CLAIM OR CLAIMS AGAINST COGNITIVE CODE AS A GROUP PLAINTIFF OR AS A CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR representative action, private attorney general action, or collective arbitration PROCEEDING THAT IS related IN ANY MANNER to the Licensed Software or OTHERWISE IN CONNECTION with this Agreement, EVEN IF THE RULES OR PROCEDURES OF ANY COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION OR ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION FORUM WOULD OTHERWISE ALLOW SUCH ACTION. THE APPLICABLE COURT OR ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION FORUM MAY ONLY AWARD RELIEF TO AN INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF, AND SUCH RELIEF SHALL BE BASED SOLELY ON THE MERITS OF THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM. Unless you and Cognitive Code expressly consent and/or OTHERWISE agree in writing, no judge, mediator or arbitrator shall be entitled to consolidate your claims with any other person’s claims or otherwise preside over any form of representative or class action proceeding THAT INCLUDES YOU AS A PLAINTIFF OR MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION AND COGNITIVE CODE AS A DEFENDANT.

12.2 The provisions of Section 12.1, above, are expressly in lieu of and hereby supersede in their entirety any other provisions or requirements that directly relate to any U.S. Government end user licensees’ rights in and relating to the licensing and/or acquisition of any “computer software” and/or “software documentation” materials.

13. U.S. Export Restrictions

You further agree that you will comply with all applicable export laws and regulations, including, without limitation, the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Export Administration Regulations, to ensure that neither the Licensed Software nor any technical data related thereto, nor any direct product based thereon or otherwise derived from any of the foregoing, are used for any prohibited purpose or are exported, re-exported, released, transferred or retransferred, directly or indirectly, in violation of any such laws or regulations. You hereby represent and warrant that you are not included on any published list of prohibited or restricted individuals and/or companies (such as, by way of example, the United States’ Specially Designated Nationals And Blocked Persons List).

14. Miscellaneous

14.1 Independent Contractors. Nothing contained herein shall in any way constitute any association, partnership or joint venture between the parties hereto, or be construed to evidence the intention of the parties to establish any such relationship.

You are not authorized to assign or otherwise transfer this Agreement (in whole or in part) or to assign, transfer or sublicense any of your rights hereunder, nor to subcontract or otherwise delegate any of your obligations under this Agreement, to any third party without the prior written consent of Cognitive Code, which consent may be granted or be withheld at our sole discretion. Any attempted or purported assignment, transfer, sublicense, subcontract or delegation without Cognitive Code’s required consent shall be null and void and a material breach of this Agreement. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the parties, and their respective successors and permitted assigns. For the avoidance of doubt, if you are an employee of a legal entity that has accepted this Agreement and agreed to be bound by all of the terms and conditions set forth herein, you are not authorized to assign or otherwise transfer this Agreement or any of the rights that have been expressly granted to your employer unless Cognitive Code specifically grants its prior written consent for any proposed assignment or transfer.

14.3 Remedies. Unless expressly set forth to the contrary herein, either party’s election of any remedies provided for in this Agreement shall not be exclusive of any other remedies available hereunder or otherwise at law or in equity, and all such remedies shall be deemed to be cumulative.

Such relief shall be in addition to, and not in substitution of, any other remedies available to Cognitive Code pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise at law or in equity.

14.4 Waivers. No failure or delay by either party in exercising any right, power, or remedy under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of any such right, power, or remedy. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing and signed by the party against whom such waiver is sought to be enforced. Any waiver by either party of any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement, nor shall such waiver operate as or be construed as a waiver of such provision respecting any future event or circumstance.

14.5 Modification. Cognitive Code may amend and/or otherwise modify the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including the terms and conditions of any related policies, codes of conduct or other such documents and agreements that may be adopted by Cognitive Code that are in any manner applicable to the Licensed Software and/or the Cognitive Code Trademarks), in its sole discretion, at any time and from time to time. Such amendments or modifications may be made and shall become effective by notifying you through email or other communications (e.g., posting on our corporate website, etc.), by means of digital access when you sign-in to any applicable account, and/or when you choose to download, install and/or otherwise use any new Upgrade.
