If any charge owing by Customer under this Agreement or any other agreement for Services is thirty (30) days or more overdue, Muesli may, without limiting its other rights and remedies, accelerate Customer's unpaid Fee obligations under such agreements so that all such obligations become immediately due and payable, and suspend Services until such amounts are paid in full. Further, Muesli may suspend Customer's access to the Services if (i) Customer's use of the Services poses a material security risk to the Services or other customers, or (ii) Customer's use of the Services may subject Muesli to liability.

Customer agrees that any termination of Customer's access to Free Services may be without prior notice, and Customer agrees that Muesli will not be liable to Customer or any third-party for such termination. Customer is solely responsible for retrieving Customer Data from such Free Services, to the extent supported by the Free Services, prior to termination of Customer's access to such Services for any reason, provided that if Muesli terminates Customer's account, except as required by law, Muesli will provide Customer a reasonable opportunity to retrieve its Customer Data.

13. Limitation of Liability
13.1. In no event will either Party (including its Affiliates) have any liability arising out of or related to this Agreement for any lost profits, revenues, goodwill, or indirect, special, incidental, consequential, cover, business interruption or punitive damages, whether an action is in contract or tort and regardless of the theory of liability, even if a Party or its Affiliates have been advised of the possibility of such damages or if a Party's or its Affiliates' remedy otherwise fails of its essential purpose. The foregoing disclaimer will not apply to the extent prohibited by law.
13.2. In no event shall the aggregate liability of each Party (including its Affiliates) arising out of this Agreement exceed the total amount paid by Customer hereunder for the Services giving rise to the liability in the twelve months preceding the first incident out of which the liability arose. The foregoing limitation will apply whether an action is in contract or tort and regardless of the theory of liability, but will not limit Customer's payment obligations under the "Fees and Payment" section above.
14. General Provisions
14.1. Entire Agreement. This Agreement represents the entire agreement between Customer and Muesli with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals (whether oral, written or electronic) between Customer and Muesli with respect thereto. The Parties agree that any term or condition stated in a Customer purchase order or in any other Customer order documentation (excluding an Order Form) is void. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency among the following documents, the order of precedence shall be: (1) the applicable Order Form, (2) the Platform Terms, (3) the Application Terms and (4) the Documentation. Titles and headings of sections of this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction of any provision of this Agreement.
14.2. Modifications and Amendments. Except as otherwise provided herein, no modification or amendment of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless agreed by both parties in writing, and no waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing and signed by the waiving Party.
14.3. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be reformed only to the extent necessary to make it enforceable.
14.4. Notices. All notices, requests, consents, claims, demands, waivers, and other communications hereunder (each, a "Notice") to Muesli shall be in writing and delivered by hand or by certified mail or overnight delivery service to:
Muesli, Inc. Attn: Legal Department 1151 Walker Road, Suite 417 Dover, Delaware 19904 With a copy to: [email protected]
Except as otherwise specified in this Agreement, all Notices related to this Agreement will be in writing and will be effective upon (a) personal delivery, (b) the second business day after mailing, or (c), except for notices of termination or an indemnifiable claim ("Legal Notices"), which shall clearly be identifiable as Legal Notices, the day of sending by email. Billing-related Notices to Customer will be addressed to the relevant billing contact designated by Customer. All other notices to Customer will be addressed to the relevant Services system administrator designated by Customer.
14.5. Export Regulation. The Services may utilize software and technology that may be subject to US export control laws, including the US Export Administration Act and its associated regulations. Customer shall not, directly or indirectly, export, re-export, or release the Services or the underlying software or technology to, or make the Services or the underlying software or technology accessible from, any jurisdiction or country to which export, re-export, or release is prohibited by law, rule, or regulation. Customer shall comply with all applicable laws, regulations, and rules, and complete all required undertakings (including obtaining any necessary export license or other governmental approval), prior to exporting, re-exporting, releasing, or otherwise making the Services or the underlying software or technology available outside the US.
14.6. US Government Rights. Each of the Documentation and the software components that constitute the Services are a "commercial item" as that term is defined at 48 C.F.R. § 2.101, consisting of "commercial computer software" and "commercial computer software documentation" as such terms are used in 48 C.F.R. § 12.212. Accordingly, if Customer is an agency of the US Government or any contractor therefor, Customer only receives those rights with respect to the Services and Documentation as are granted to all other end users.
14.7. Assignment. Neither Party may assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the other Party's written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided that (i) either Party may assign all of its rights and obligations hereunder without such consent to a successor-in-interest in connection with a sale of substantially all of such Party's business relating to this Agreement, provided the successor-in-interest of Customer is not a competitor of Muesli or sells or licenses a product competitive with Muesli's Services, and (ii) Muesli may utilize subcontractors in the performance of its obligations hereunder.
14.8. Publicity. Customer agrees that Muesli may use Customer's name and logo to refer to Customer as a customer of Muesli on its website and in marketing materials upon Customer's prior written consent.
14.9. Relationship of the Parties. No agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment relationship is created as a result of this Agreement and neither Party has any authority of any kind to bind the other in any respect.
14.10. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration Agreement. The parties shall use their best efforts to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement arising out of or relating to the subject matter of this Agreement directly through good-faith negotiations, which shall be a precondition to either Party initiating arbitration. Except for intellectual property disputes, claims, questions, or disagreements, if such negotiations do not resolve the dispute it shall be finally settled by binding arbitration in San Francisco, California. The arbitration will proceed in the English language, in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (the "Rules") then in effect, by one commercial arbitrator with substantial experience in resolving intellectual property and commercial contract disputes. Judgment upon the award rendered by such arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The Rules will govern payment of all arbitration fees. The parties waive any constitutional and statutory rights to go to court and have a trial in front of a judge or jury. All claims and disputes within the scope of this arbitration agreement must be arbitrated or litigated on an individual basis and not on a class basis.
14.11. Injunctive Relief. Notwithstanding the foregoing obligation to arbitrate disputes, each Party shall have the right to pursue injunctive or other equitable relief at any time, from any court of competent jurisdiction, to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a Party's copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents or other intellectual property rights.
14.12. Governing Law and Venue. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, excluding its body of law controlling conflict of laws. In the event the arbitration agreement does not apply, the parties agree that any judicial proceeding (other than small claims actions) will be brought in the state or federal courts located in San Francisco, California.
14.13. Waiver. The failure of either Party to act with respect to a breach of this Agreement by the other Party shall not constitute a waiver and shall not limit such Party's rights with respect to such breach or any subsequent breaches.
14.14. Force Majeure. Except for payment obligations, neither Party shall be liable for any failure to perform its obligations hereunder where such failure results from any cause beyond such Party's reasonable control, including, without limitation, the elements; fire; flood; severe weather; earthquake; vandalism; accidents; sabotage; power failure; denial of service attacks or similar attacks; Internet failure; acts of God and the public enemy; acts of war; acts of terrorism; riots; civil or public disturbances; strikes, lock-outs or labor disruptions; any laws, orders, rules, regulations, acts or restraints of any government or governmental body or authority, civil or military, including the orders and judgments of courts.
