General

  1. Governing Law. This Agreement is governed in all respects by the laws of the State of Delaware without reference to conflict of law provisions.
  2. Dispute Resolution. The parties shall resolve any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the breach, termination or invalidity hereof (each, a Dispute) under the provisions of this Section. The parties shall first attempt in good faith to resolve any Dispute by negotiation and consultation between themselves. In the event that such Dispute is not resolved on an informal basis within fifteen (15) business days after one party provides notice to the other party of such Dispute (Dispute Notice), either party may, by written notice to the other party (Escalation to Executive Notice), refer such dispute to the executives of each party (Executive(s)). If the Executives cannot resolve any Dispute during the time period ending fifteen (15) business days after the date of the Escalation to Executive Notice, the Dispute shall be resolved by non-appearance based binding arbitration, rather than in court. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, this includes any claims based in contract, statute, tort, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory. The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to this Agreement.
  3. Initiation and Manner of Arbitration. Either party can initiate arbitration through the alternative dispute resolution provider the American Arbitration Association (the AAA) pursuant to the then-current Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes (the Consumer Rules), both of which are available at the AAA website www.adr.org. Customer’s arbitration fees and share of arbitrator compensation shall be governed by the AAA rules and, where appropriate, limited by the AAA Consumer Rules. If such costs are determined by the arbitrator to be excessive, Idiomatic will pay all arbitration fees and expenses.The arbitration shall be conducted by telephone or electronic means and/or shall be solely based on written submissions, the specific manner of which shall be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration. The arbitration shall not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless the arbitrator determines that an in-person hearing is necessary based on the request of one of the parties and any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator shall be final and may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Customer and Idiomatic each agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, the parties each waive any right to a jury trial and agree to proceed only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated, or representative action. The parties hereby appoint the arbitrator the exclusive power to rule on any challenges to the requirement for the use of alternative dispute resolution process in this Agreement. 
  4. Preliminary Injunctive Relief. The parties both agree that either may bring suit in court to obtain interim or preliminary injunctive relief necessary to protect the rights or property of either party and all of its partners, affiliates, shareholders, employees, and agents of any kind (together, Affiliates).
  5. Sublicense and Assignment. Neither party may sublicense or assign this Agreement or any parts thereof, directly or indirectly, by operation of law, merger, change of control, or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the other party, such consent in the case of assignment by operation of law, merger or change of control not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Any sublicense or assignment in violation of this section shall have no legal force or binding effect. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties and their respective successors and permitted sublicensees and assignees.
  6. Waiver. The waiver of any default or breach of this Agreement or failure to enforce any provision herein will not constitute a waiver of any other or subsequent default or breach. To be effective, any waiver must include written consent of the waiving party.
  7. Severability. If any part of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the unenforceable part will be given effect to the greatest extent possible and the remaining parts will remain in full force and effect.
  8. Force Majeure. Neither party will be liable to the other on account of any loss or damage resulting from any failure to perform or delay if such failure or delay is caused by circumstances beyond the control of the other party.
  9. Headings. Headings are used in this Agreement for reference only and will not be considered when interpreting this Agreement.
  10. Amendment. After the Effective Date, Idiomatic and Customer may amend any term hereof only by mutual written consent.
  11. Entire Agreement. This Agreement is the entire and exclusive understanding between Customer and Idiomatic relating to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any and all prior agreements and understandings (including without limitation any separately executed confidentiality agreement) between the parties, whether oral or in writing.
