The Parties shall attempt to give effect to all provisions. The failure to list a requirement specifically in one document, once that requirement is specifically listed in another, shall not imply the inapplicability of that requirement.

11. GENERAL.
11.1 Governing Law and Venue. This Agreement and any action related thereto will be governed and interpreted by and under the laws of the State of Florida, without giving effect to any conflicts of laws principles that require the application of the law of a different state. Partner hereby expressly consents to the personal jurisdiction and venue in the state and federal courts in Orlando, Florida for any lawsuit arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to this Agreement.
11.2 Dispute Resolution. In an effort to promote the highest quality working relationship, the Parties agree that the following steps will be responsively and openly pursued in an effort to resolve any dispute under or arising out of this Agreement (each, a “Dispute”) before resorting to litigation (except as may be necessary to preserve any rights or the status quo):
(a) All Disputes will be made in a written notice by Partner or Company, respectively, initiating the process set forth herein (the “Dispute Engagement Notice”). Promptly after receipt of the Dispute Engagement Notice, both Parties shall discuss the issues, present reasonably requested documentation, and attempt to reach a settlement that is agreeable to both Parties. As part of the Dispute Engagement Notice, the Party initiating the dispute resolution process will submit a summary of the issues, the requesting Party’s position and a summary of the evidence and arguments supporting its position.
(b) If the Dispute cannot be resolved by the Parties within forty-five (45) Business Days after receipt of the Dispute Engagement Notice, or such later date as the Parties may agree in writing, the Dispute shall be escalated to an executive of the Company and Partner who has authority to settle the Dispute.
(c) If the Dispute cannot be resolved by the Parties within forty-five (45) Business days after the escalation noted in Section (b) above, then either Party may pursue any rights or remedies available under the Agreement, at law or in equity through judicial relief or, if and as agreed to by both Parties in writing, non-judicial relief through an alternative dispute resolution process. Both Parties agree that any discussions and negotiations related to any proposed settlement of any Dispute may not be introduced into evidence by either Party in any judicial action or non-judicial alternative dispute resolution forum used to resolve such Dispute.
11.3 Order of Precedence. The documents forming the Agreement shall be considered complementary, and what is required by one shall be binding as if required by all. The Parties shall attempt to give effect to all provisions. The failure to list a requirement specifically in one document, once that requirement is specifically listed in another, shall not imply the inapplicability of that requirement.
However, in the event of irreconcilable conflict between the documents forming the Agreement the order of precedence shall be:
(a) For the scope included therein: Agreement Amendments and Change Orders, with those of a later date having precedence over of an earlier date;
(b) These Terms and their exhibits; and
(c) The Order.
11.4 Export. Partner agrees not to export, reexport, or transfer, directly or indirectly, any U.S. technical data acquired from Company, or any products utilizing such data, in violation of the United States export laws or regulations.
11.5 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is, for any reason, held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable to any extent, the other provisions of this Agreement will remain legally valid and enforceable, and the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed modified so that it is valid and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Partner agrees that the section titled Limitation of Liability will remain in effect notwithstanding the unenforceability of any provision in the subsection titled Company’s Warranty.
11.6 Waiver. Any waiver or failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement on one occasion will not be deemed a waiver of any other provision or of such provision on any other occasion.
11.7 Remedies. Except as provided in the sections titled Warranties and Indemnification, the parties’ rights and remedies under this Agreement are cumulative. Partner acknowledges that the Licensed Product contains valuable trade secrets and proprietary information of Company, that any actual or threatened breach of the sections and subsections titled License Restrictions, Trademark License or Confidentiality or any other breach of its obligations with respect to Intellectual Property Rights of Company will constitute immediate, irreparable harm to Company for which monetary damages would be an inadequate remedy, and that injunctive relief is an appropriate remedy for such breach. Company may seek immediate injunctive relief without the requirement for a Cure Period, to post bond or other security, if any legal action is brought to enforce this Agreement, the prevailing party will be entitled to receive its attorneys’ fees, court costs, and other collection expenses, in addition to any other relief it may receive.
11.8 Assignment. This Agreement, and Partner’s rights and obligations herein, may not be assigned, subcontracted, delegated, or otherwise transferred by Partner without Company’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonable withheld. Company may assign this Agreement to any affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets, or other transaction resulting in a change of control, without consent of Partner. Except as permitted in this Section, any attempted assignment or delegation without the other party’s prior written consent will be void and of no effect.
11.9 Force Majeure. Any delay in the performance of any duties or obligations of either Party (except the payment of money owed) will not be considered a breach of this Agreement if such delay is caused by a labor dispute, shortage of materials, fire, earthquake, flood, government action or inaction, pandemic or any other event beyond the control of such Party, provided that such Party uses reasonable efforts, under the circumstances, to notify the other Party of the circumstances causing the delay and to resume performance as soon as possible.
