Subscriber will use the Services and Documentation in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.
Subscriber will use reasonable efforts to prevent any unauthorized use of the Services and Documentation and immediately notify Company in writing of any unauthorized use that comes to Subscriberâs attention.

EACH PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT THAT PROVIDES FOR A LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES, OR EXCLUSION OF DAMAGES IS TO ALLOCATE THE RISKS OF THIS AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES. THIS ALLOCATION IS REFLECTED IN THE PRICING OFFERED BY COMPANY TO SUBSCRIBER AND IS AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN THE PARTIES.

Either party may change its address for receipt of notice by notice to the other party in accordance with this Section 9.5. Notices are deemed given two business days following the date of mailing or one business day following delivery to a courier.
Except for the payment obligations in Section 4, neither party will be liable for, or be considered to be in breach of or default under this Agreement on account of, any delay or failure to perform as required by this Agreement as a result of any cause or condition beyond its reasonable control, so long as that party uses all commercially reasonable efforts to avoid or remove the causes of non-performance.
This Agreement will be interpreted, construed, and enforced in all respects in accordance with the local laws of the State of California, U.S.A., without reference to its choice of law rules and not including the provisions of the 1980 U.N.

Each party hereby irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the federal, state, and local courts in San Francisco County, California in connection with any action arising out of or in connection with this Agreement.
The waiver by either party of any breach of any provision of this Agreement does not waive any other breach. The failure of any party to insist on strict performance of any covenant or obligation in accordance with this Agreement will not be a waiver of such partyâs right to demand strict compliance in the future, nor will the same be construed as a novation of this Agreement.
If any part of this Agreement is found to be illegal, unenforceable, or invalid, the remaining portions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect. If any material limitation or restriction on the use of the Company Services under this Agreement is found to be illegal, unenforceable, or invalid, Subscriberâs right to use the Company Services will immediately terminate.
This Agreement may be executed in any number of identical counterparts, notwithstanding that the parties have not signed the same counterpart, with the same effect as if the parties had signed the same document. All counterparts will be construed as and constitute the same agreement. This Agreement may also be executed and delivered by facsimile and such execution and delivery will have the same force and effect of an original document with original signatures.
This Agreement, including all exhibits, is the final and complete expression of the agreement between these parties regarding Subscriberâs use of the Services. This Agreement supersedes, and the terms of this Agreement govern, all previous oral and written communications regarding the subject matter of this Agreement, including Subscriberâs use of the Services, except that this Agreement does not affect the validity of any agreements between the parties relating to professional services relating to the Services that Company may provide. No employee, agent, or other representative of Company has any authority to bind Company with respect to any statement, representation, warranty, or other expression unless the same is specifically set forth in this Agreement. No usage of trade or other regular practice or method of dealing between the parties will be used to modify, interpret, supplement, or alter the terms of this Agreement. This Agreement may be changed only by a written agreement signed by an authorized agent of the party against whom enforcement is sought. Company will not be bound by, and specifically objects to, any term, condition, or other provision that is different from or in addition to this Agreement (whether or not it would materially alter this Agreement) that is proffered by Subscriber in any receipt, acceptance, confirmation, correspondence, or otherwise, unless Company specifically agrees to such provision in writing and signed by an authorized agent of Company.
