8. PROPRIETARY RIGHTS. These Terms and all information exchanged between the Parties in performance of these Terms will be subject to the IntelePeer Proprietary Policy at intelepeer.ai/terms/proprietary-policy/, which IntelePeer reserves the right to amend from time to time. For the purposes of the Policy, the term “Agreement” includes these “Terms”.

9. GENERAL PROVISIONS

9.1 Governing Law. These Terms will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of California without reference or application of conflict of law rules. The Parties consent exclusively and irrevocably to the jurisdiction and venue of any competent court in the Northern District of California for any legal action arising under these Terms, and expressly waive any right to a jury trial. If any provision of these Terms is unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

9.2 Assignment. Customer may not assign these Terms without prior written consent of IntelePeer, which will not be unreasonably withheld, except that Customer may assign these Terms pursuant to any sale or transfer of substantially all of the business, subject to IntelePeer approving the credit of any surviving entity. These Terms will bind and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successor and assigns. Any attempt to assign these Terms, without such consent, will be null and void.

9.3 Force Majeure. Except for Customer’s obligation to pay for Third Party Marketplace Application(s) rendered under these Terms, neither Party will be responsible for any failure or delay in its performance under these Terms, in whole or in part, due to causes beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to: acts of God, fire, explosion, vandalism, earthquake or other natural occurrences; any law, order, regulation, action or request of any government entity; any civil or military authority; or any national emergencies, riots, or wars.

9.4 Attorneys’ Fees and Costs. In the event of any litigation or arbitration related to these Terms, the prevailing party shall be entitled to all reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees, costs, and expenses relating to the matter regardless of whether these Terms or any relevant provision is held to be invalid.

9.5 Severability. If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of these Terms invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the remaining provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect, if the essential provisions of these Terms for each party remain valid, legal, and enforceable.

9.6 Waiver. The failure by either Party to enforce any provision of these Terms will not constitute a waiver of future enforcement of any provision in these Terms.

9.7 Applicable Law. Each Party will perform its obligations and assert its rights under these Terms in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations. Each Party is solely responsible for obtaining all licenses, approvals and regulatory authorities necessary for its use or provision of any service associated with these Terms.

9.8 Export and Import Regulations. Customer acknowledges that applicable laws and regulations of the United States and other foreign countries may restrict the export and re-export of certain commodities and technical data of United States origin, including associated software, and represents that Customer is not, and will immediately discontinue use of SmartCommunicator were it to be, on any government exclusion list, under the control of or agent for any entity on such list, or located in any jurisdiction in which the provision of the Automation Marketplace or any Applications or other components is prohibited under any applicable laws.

9.9 Allocation of Risks. The Parties acknowledge and agree that each Party has entered into these Terms in reliance on the limitations, disclaimers and indemnifications set forth herein, that such limitations, disclaimers and indemnifications reflect an allocation of risk between the Parties and form an essential basis of the bargain between the Customer and IntelePeer.

9.10 Disputes. If Party does not report a dispute within one (1) year of when the disputed activity occurred, such Party is deemed to have waived all rights associated with the dispute; provided that this limitation does not change any right to enforce against any repeated or continuing activity being disputed. If the Parties cannot resolve a dispute through informal dispute resolution, a Party may submit the dispute for binding arbitration with a sole arbitrator in accordance with the rules established by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). The Parties agree that the only circumstances in which a dispute will not be subject first to arbitration are where: (i) a Party makes a good faith determination that a breach of these Terms by the other Party is such that a temporary restraining order or other injunctive relief is the only appropriate and adequate remedy; or (ii) a Party seeks to exercise the right to enforce the judgment. The Parties agree to conduct all arbitrations in San Francisco, California, unless the Parties mutually agree otherwise. The Parties agree that the arbitrator will be knowledgeable about the subject matter of the Dispute, will control the scheduling so as to process the matter expeditiously, and will only have the authority to make decisions permitted by the terms of these Terms, including without limitation any limitations of liability of the Parties. The decision of the arbitrator will be final and binding on all parties, may only be appealed for mistakes of law, and will be entered in any court having jurisdiction for rendering of judgment.

9.11 Entire Agreement. These Terms constitute the complete understanding and agreement of the Parties and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements, communications or understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter in these Terms. The rights and obligations of the Parties will inure to Affiliates and may be directly enforced by or against such Affiliates. Electronic signatures or acceptance will constitute an original signed document as applicable. The Parties agree to read any other Third Party Marketplace Application(s) document together with these Terms to avoid inconsistent interpretations. However, in the event of irreconcilable conflicts between the provisions of these Terms and any other document, these Terms will govern with respect to SmartCommunicator. Except as otherwise set forth in these Terms, any waiver or amendment of any provision of these Terms will be valid and binding only if in writing and signed by duly authorized representatives of the Parties.
