10. GENERAL​

10.1 Governing Law​

This Agreement, the performance under it, and any Dispute (as such term is defined in Section 2) shall in all respects be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York and applicable United States federal law, without reference to choice-of-law or “conflicts of laws” provisions or principles. The Parties expressly opt out of the application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act.

10.2 Dispute Resolution​

As set forth more fully in this Section 2, you and CNH agree that any claim, controversy, or dispute arising out of, related to or concerning the SDK or this Agreement (a “Dispute”) that is not resolved informally must be resolved by final and binding arbitration (“Arbitration”) on an individual and not a class-wide, representative, or consolidated basis.

The Arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with the then-in-force International Dispute Resolution Procedures of the Internal Centre for Dispute Resolution (“ICDR”). The Arbitration shall be conducted before a single arbitrator. If the Parties fail to agree on an arbitrator within twenty (20) days of submission of the notice of Arbitration, the arbitrator shall be selected in accordance with the ICDR list method. If your principal place of business is in the United States, Canada, or Mexico, then the Arbitration will be seated in Madison, Wisconsin. Otherwise, the Arbitration will be seated in London, the United Kingdom. The Arbitration will be conducted in English unless the Parties mutually agree otherwise. An Arbitration claim will be rejected as untimely if the request for Arbitration was filed after the date that such claim would be barred by the applicable statute of limitations. Subject to the law under which this Agreement is to be construed, the arbitrators will have no authority to award punitive, exemplary, or any other damages other than compensatory damages.

Any award issued in the Arbitration shall be final and binding on the Parties and judgment upon any award may be entered by a court having jurisdiction thereof. Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties and subject to the law under which this Agreement is to be construed, the Parties (including their affiliates, employees, agents, experts, and consultants), the arbitrators, and the AAA will maintain the confidentiality of all documents, communications, proceedings, and awards provided, produced, or exchanged in an Arbitration.

If for any reason a Dispute proceeds in court rather than in Arbitration, each Party waives any right to a jury trial.

10.3 Specific Remedies​

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 1 or 10.2, if you commit a breach of any of the provisions of Sections 2 or 4 above, CNH shall have, in addition to all other rights in law and equity,

(a) the right to have such provision specifically enforced by any court having equity jurisdiction, it being acknowledged and agreed that any such breach will cause irreparable injury to CNH and that money damages will not provide an adequate remedy, and

(b) the right to require you to account for and pay to CNH all compensation, profits, monies or other tangible benefits (collectively “Benefits”) derived or received as the result of any transactions constituting a breach of any of the provisions of Section 2 or 4, and you hereby agree to account for and pay such Benefits.

This Agreement may not be modified except by a writing signed by a duly authorized representative of each of the Parties.

10.6 Relationship of the Parties​

The relationship of the Parties under this Agreement shall not constitute a partnership or joint venture for any purpose. Under no circumstances shall any of the employees of one Party be deemed the employees of the other Party for any purpose.

This Agreement shall not be construed as authority for either Party to act for the other Party in any agency or other capacity, or to make commitments of any kind for the account of or on behalf of the other Party.

10.7 Assignment​

This Agreement and the rights hereunder are not assignable, whether in whole or in part, by you, whether by operational of law or otherwise, without the advance written approval of CNH. This Agreement and the rights hereunder shall be assignable by the CNH entity that is a Party to this Agreement (or a successor or assign thereof) to its affiliate. Any attempted assignment or transfer in violation of this Section 7 shall be void and of no effect.

10.8 Severability and Waiver​

If any part or provision of this Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, such determination shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other part or provision of this Agreement. No waiver by any Party of any breach of any provisions hereof shall constitute a waiver unless made in writing signed by such Party.
