11.1 Notices. All notices required under this Agreement will be in writing and sent to the addresses specified in this Agreement and/or any Order and will be sent by certified mail, postage prepaid and return receipt requested, or by express courier service, having trackable service, and with signature required by the receiving Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you acknowledge and agree that MVP may provide you with notices, including but not limited to those regarding changes to this Agreement, by email, regular mail, or postings on the Services. Any such notices will be deemed given the day they are displayed on the Services.
11.2 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including all corresponding Orders and exhibits where applicable, contains the entire agreement of the Parties and supersedes any and all prior and contemporaneous agreements with respect to the subject matter hereof, whether orally or in writing. This Agreement supersedes any terms printed on your purchase order or other communications. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and Conditions and the terms of the Order, the terms of the Order will govern, but solely to the extent of the conflict.
11.3 Assignment and Delegation. This Agreement will be binding on and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. You may not assign, delegate, or otherwise transfer this Agreement or any of your rights, interests, or obligations hereunder, whether voluntarily or by operation of law, without MVP's prior written consent, which consent may be withheld in MVP's sole discretion. Any attempted assignment without MVP's written consent shall be null and void. MVP may assign this Agreement to any parent, subsidiary or affiliate and to any successor to its business, whether by merger, asset sale, or otherwise. MVP also may, in its discretion, subcontract and otherwise delegate any or all of its obligations hereunder, but shall nevertheless remain responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder.
11.4 Relationship of the Parties. The Parties expressly agree that they are independent contractors and do not intend for this Agreement to be interpreted as an employment, agency, joint venture, or partnership relationship.
11.5 Injunctive Relief. Actual or threatened breach of Section 2 (Use of Services), Section 3 (Use of Services), Section 6 (Proprietary Rights), or Section 7 (Confidentiality, Privacy, and Publicity) may cause immediate, irreparable harm that would be difficult to calculate and could not be remedied by payment of damages alone. Accordingly, MVP will be entitled to seek preliminary and permanent injunctive relief and other equitable relief for any such breach.
11.6 Governing Law & Venue. This Agreement and any disputes arising hereunder shall be governed in all respects, including validity, interpretation and effect, by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. Any dispute under this Agreement shall be brought exclusively in the state and federal courts within the State of Texas. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS AND SUBMITS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS. EACH PARTY SPECIFICALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY COURT IN CONNECTION WITH ANY ACTION OR LITIGATION. Any cause of action arising out of or related to this Agreement must be brought within one year after the circumstances giving rise to the cause of action arose; otherwise, such cause of action will be permanently barred.
11.7 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is made for the benefit of MVP and you, and not for the benefit of any third parties. No other person or entity will be a third-party beneficiary to this Agreement.
11.8 Export Controls. Each Party will comply with the export laws and regulations of the United States and other applicable jurisdictions in providing and using the Services. Without limiting the foregoing, (a) each Party represents that it is not named on any U.S. government list of persons or entities prohibited from receiving exports, and (b) you shall not permit any Users to access or use any Services in violation of any U.S. export embargo, prohibition, or restriction.
11.9 Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for reference only and will not limit or otherwise affect the meaning of any provisions of this Agreement.
11.10 No Waiver. No failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of this Agreement, nor any waiver of any default or breach of this Agreement by either Party, will be deemed to imply or constitute a waiver of any other default or breach of this Agreement by either Party, whether of a similar nature or otherwise.
11.11 Severability. In the event that one or more of the provisions of this Agreement is invalid or otherwise unenforceable, the provision will be modified by the court and interpreted so as best to accomplish the objectives of the original provision to the fullest extent permitted by law, and the enforceability of remaining provisions will be unimpaired.
11.12 Modification to Terms. MVP reserves the right to modify the terms and conditions of this Agreement or its policies relating to the Services at any time, effective only upon MVP posting an updated version of this Agreement on the Services. Continued use of the Services after any such changes shall constitute your consent to such changes.
11.13 Subsequent Agreements. In order to be effective, all terms and conditions of subsequent agreements related to any subject matter in this Agreement must be agreed upon in writing and signed by both Parties.
11.14 Force Majeure. Neither Party will be in default of any obligation under this Agreement (other than payment obligations) to the extent that its failure to perform is caused solely by conditions beyond that Party's reasonable control, such as acts of God, civil strife or commotion, war (whether declared or undeclared), strikes, labor disputes, third party Internet service interruptions or slowdowns, vandalism or "hacker" attacks, acts of terrorism, governmental laws, regulations or restrictions or changes to governmental laws, regulations or restrictions, acts by governmental authorities, governmental demands, and any other cause or causes, whether or not similar to those specified herein, which cannot reasonably be controlled by such party.
