a. Provision of Services. Subject to the payment of all applicable Fees and for the applicable Subscription Term, Unreal AI Writer hereby grants to Customer a non-sublicensable, non-transferable, non-exclusive right to access and use the Services in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the applicable Order Form.
b. Platform Guidelines. Customer hereby acknowledges that it will at all times comply with, and ensure that all of its Users comply with, the platform guidelines.
a. Fees. The Customer will pay Unreal AI Writer all fees specified in or otherwise incurred pursuant to an Order Form (“Fees”) in accordance with this Section 3 and the applicable Order Form. If Customer adds additional Services during a Subscription Term (a “Subscription Upgrade”), any incremental Fees associated with such Subscription Upgrade will be prorated over the remaining period of the then-current Subscription Term and charged to Customer and due and payable in accordance with Section 3(b). In addition, unless otherwise set forth in an Order Form, the Customer will be deemed to have executed a Subscription Upgrade with Unreal AI Writer if its usage of the Services exceeds the previously purchased usage levels. In any renewal Subscription Term of such Order Form, the Fees will reflect any such Subscription Upgrades. Fees are quoted and payable in United States dollars. Payment obligations are non-cancellable and Fees paid are non-refundable, except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement.
b. Invoices and Payment. By providing a credit card or other payment method accepted by Unreal AI Writer (“Payment Method”) for the Services, Customer agrees that Unreal AI Writer is authorized to charge to the elected Payment Method all applicable Fees when due, and any other charges Customer may incur in connection with Customer’s use of the Services. For all purchased Services, the Payment Method will be charged on a monthly basis or at the interval indicated in the applicable Order Form. If Unreal AI Writer does not collect a Payment Method from Customer at the time of purchase, Unreal AI Writer will invoice Customer for the charges at the email address on file with Unreal AI Writer. Customer will pay all invoiced amounts within thirty (30) calendar days of the invoice date. Unless otherwise specified in an Order Form, Customer will pay all Fees on an annual, prepaid basis. Overdue invoices are subject to a finance charge of 1.5% per month or the maximum permitted by law, whichever is lower, plus all expenses of collection.
c. Taxes. Customer is solely responsible for the payment of all taxes, assessments, tariffs, duties, or other fees imposed, assessed, or collected by or under the authority of any governmental body arising from Unreal AI Writer’s provision of the Services hereunder (collectively, “Taxes”), except any taxes assessed upon Unreal AI Writer’s net income. If Unreal AI Writer is required to directly pay Taxes related to Customer’s use or receipt of any Services, Customer agrees to promptly reimburse Unreal AI Writer for any amounts paid by Unreal AI Writer.
d. Credits. Unreal AI Writer may, at its sole discretion, choose to offer credits for the Services in various ways, including but not limited to, coupons, promotional campaigns, and referrals for Unreal AI Writer’s services such as training. Unreal AI Writer reserves the right to award credits at its sole discretion. Credits have no monetary or cash value and can only be used by Customer to offset Customer’s subsequent payments of Fees for the Services. Credits may only be applied to Fees due for the Services specifically identified by Unreal AI Writer when issuing the credit. Credits can only be used by Customer and are non-transferable. To the extent that Customer has been awarded credits unless the instrument (including any coupon) states an earlier expiration date, credits shall expire and no longer be redeemable twelve (12) months from the date the credit was issued.
a. Customer Property. As between Customer and Unreal AI Writer, Customer retains all rights, title, and interest in and to the Customer Property, including all patent, copyright, trade secret, trademark or other intellectual property rights embodied in or related to the Customer Property. Except as expressly set out in this Agreement, no right, title, or license under any Customer Property is granted to Unreal AI Writer or implied hereby, and for any Customer Property that is licensed to Unreal AI Writer, no title or ownership rights are transferred to Unreal AI Writer with such license.
b. Unreal AI Writer Property. As between Unreal AI Writer and Customer, Unreal AI Writer retains all rights, title, and interest in and to the Unreal AI Writer Property, including all patent, copyright, trade secret, trademark, or other intellectual property rights embodied in or related to the Unreal AI Writer Property. Except as expressly set out in this Agreement, no right, title, or license under any Unreal AI Writer Property is granted to Customer or implied hereby, and for any Unreal AI Writer Property that is licensed to Customer, no title or ownership rights are transferred to Customer with such license.
c. Licenses to Unreal AI Writer. Customer hereby grants Unreal AI Writer a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable (except in connection with the permitted assignment of this Agreement or to ), and royalty-free license to access and use the Customer Property made available to Unreal AI Writer or any of its Affiliates, solely as necessary for Unreal AI Writer to (i) provide the Services to Customer pursuant to this Agreement, and (ii) train the artificial intelligence models developed by third-party service providers to provide the Services, including sharing select portions of Customer Property to third-party contractors (subject to confidentiality and security obligations at least as restrictive as this Agreement, with Unreal AI Writer being responsible for all actions and omissions of such contractors), provided, however, that such Customer Property used for this purpose must be aggregated and de-identified so that it cannot identify Customer or its Users. Additionally, Customer grants Unreal AI Writer a non-exclusive, revocable license to use Customer’s trademarks and logos to identify Customer as a subscriber of the Services; provided that, Customer may revoke such consent at any time in its sole discretion. By submitting to Unreal AI Writer any unsolicited suggestions, enhancement requests, comments, feedback, or other input relating to the Services ("Feedback"), Customer and its Users (as applicable) grant to Unreal AI Writer a royalty-free, worldwide, transferable, sublicensable, irrevocable, perpetual license to use or incorporate such Feedback into the Services in any manner.
d. License to Customer. Unreal AI Writer hereby grants Customer a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable (except in connection with the permitted assignment of this Agreement), and royalty-free license to access and use the Output made available to Customers or any of its Affiliates, solely in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
a. Hosting and Processing. Unless otherwise specifically agreed to in writing by Unreal AI Writer, Customer Property may be hosted by Unreal AI Writer or its Affiliates, or their respective authorized third-party service providers, in the United States, the European Economic Area (“EEA”), or the United Kingdom.
b. Transfer of Personal Data. To the extent that Personal Data within the Customer Property originates from a User or End-User in the EEA, as further described in the DPA, Unreal AI Writer will ensure that, pursuant to (i) the EU Regulation 2016/679 and any applicable national laws made under it; and (ii) the Swiss Federal Act of 19 June 1992 on Data Protection (as may be amended or superseded), if Personal Data within Customer Property is transferred to a country or territory outside of the EEA (a “non-EEA country”), then such transfer will only take place if: (i) the non-EEA country in question ensures an adequate level of data protection based on a decision by the European Commission; (ii) one of the conditions listed in Article 46 or 49 of the GDPR (or its equivalent under any successor legislation) is satisfied; or (iii) the Personal Data is transferred on the basis of binding corporate rules.
c. Data Processing Agreement. The Data Processing Agreement with Unreal AI Writer (“DPA”) is accessible for review at the Unreal AI Writer website. Upon execution of an Order Form by Customer, the DPA shall be fully incorporated by reference in, and become a part of, this Agreement.
d. Subprocessors. Customer acknowledges and agrees that Unreal AI Writer may use Subprocessors, who may access Customer Property, to provide, secure and improve the Services. Unreal AI Writer shall be responsible for the acts and omissions of its Subprocessors to the same extent that Unreal AI Writer would be responsible if Unreal AI Writer was performing the services of each Subprocessor directly under the terms of this Agreement. A list of all Subprocessors can be found on the Unreal AI website.
e. In-Product Cookies. Whenever Customers or Users interact with the Services, Unreal AI Writer uses First Party Cookies to collect information to ensure Customers and Users can securely, quickly, and reliably use the Services, and Unreal AI Writer’s In-Product Cookie Policy applies. When Unreal AI Writer collects this information, it only uses this data to (i) provide the Services, or (ii) in aggregate form, and not in a manner that would identify the Customers or Users personally.
f. Information Security Requirements. Unreal AI Writer will maintain an information security program (including the adoption and enforcement of internal policies and procedures) designed to (a) secure the Services and Customer Property against accidental or unlawful loss, access, or disclosure, (b) identify reasonably foreseeable and internal risks to security and unauthorized access, and (c) minimize security risks through risk assessment.
a. Confidentiality. During the term of this Agreement and for a period of three (3) years thereafter, each Party agrees to protect the confidentiality of the Confidential Information of the other Party in the same manner that it protects the confidentiality of its own proprietary and confidential information of a like kind; provided that a Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party with Disclosing Party’s consent or to its Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, subcontractors, agents or prospective financing sources or acquirers who need to know such information in connection with this Agreement and who are bound by written agreements requiring the protection of such Confidential Information. This Section 6 shall supersede any non-disclosure agreement by and between Customer and Unreal AI Writer entered prior to the Effective Date that would purport to address the confidentiality of Confidential Information and such agreement shall have no further force or effect with respect to either Party’s Confidential Information.
b. Compelled Disclosure. If the Receiving Party is compelled by law to disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, it shall provide the Disclosing Party with prior notice of such compelled disclosure (to the extent legally permitted) and reasonable assistance, at Disclosing Party's cost, if the Disclosing Party wishes to contest the disclosure.
c. Return of Confidential Information. At any time upon the request of the Disclosing Party, the Receiving Party will destroy all Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, including all copies thereof and notes and other materials incorporating such Confidential Information, whether in physical or electronic form; provided, however, (x) Unreal AI Writer, as Receiving Party, shall not be required to delete any Customer Confidential Information that is licensed to Unreal AI Writer pursuant to Section 4(c)(ii) so long as it is aggregated and de-identified so that it cannot identify Customer or its Users; and (y) the Receiving Party shall not be required to return or destroy electronic copies that are automatically stored in accordance with Receiving Party’s generally applicable backup policies and which are not reasonably accessible by the Receiving Party (“Backup Media”). All Backup Media shall remain subject to the confidentiality obligations set forth herein, notwithstanding the expiration or termination of this Agreement, so long as it remains undeleted.
d. Remedies. If the Receiving Party discloses or uses (or threatens to disclose or use) any Confidential Information in breach of this Section 6, the Disclosing Party shall have the right, in addition to any other remedies available to it, to seek injunctive relief to enjoin such acts, it being specifically acknowledged by the Parties that any other available remedies are inadequate.
a. Mutual Warranties. Each Party represents and warrants that it has the legal power and authority to enter into this Agreement.
b. Unreal AI Writer Warranties. Unreal AI Writer warrants to Customer that the Services purchased by Customer will, in all material respects, perform in accordance with the applicable portions of the Documentation. This warranty shall not apply to non-conformities, errors, or problems caused by acts within the control of Customer or any of its Users, or arising from Customer’s negligence or improper use of the Services, from unauthorized modifications made to the Services, from use of the Services in an unsupported operating environment or manner, or that arises from Customer’s or any third party’s software or systems (including Third Party Products).
c. Customer Warranties. Customer warrants that it will not use the Services for unlawful purposes or in a manner that infringes or otherwise, violates the rights of any third party.
d. Disclaimer. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW BUT EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, (1) THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS-IS”; (2) NEITHER PARTY MAKES ANY ADDITIONAL WARRANTY, CONDITION, REPRESENTATION, UNDERTAKING, OR GUARANTY OF ANY KIND TO THE OTHER PARTY, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, (3) EACH PARTY HEREBY SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, CONDITIONS, REPRESENTATIONS, UNDERTAKINGS AND GUARANTIES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WITH RESPECT TO TITLE, MERCHANTABILITY, NON-INFRINGEMENT OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND (4) UNREAL AI WRITER’S LIABILITY UNDER ANY IMPLIED OR STATUTORY WARRANTY, CONDITION, REPRESENTATION, UNDERTAKING OR GUARANTY WHICH CANNOT BE LEGALLY EXCLUDED IS LIMITED IN RESPECT OF THE SERVICES TO SUPPLYING THE SERVICES AGAIN OR PAYING THE COST OF SUPPLYING THE SERVICES AGAIN. IN ADDITION, UNREAL AI WRITER DOES NOT GUARANTEE THERE WILL BE NO LOSS OR CORRUPTION OF CUSTOMER PROPERTY STORED BY UNREAL AI WRITER. THE CUSTOMER AGREES TO MAINTAIN A COMPLETE AND ACCURATE COPY OF ALL CUSTOMER PROPERTY IN A LOCATION INDEPENDENT OF THE SERVICES.
e. Beta Services. Unreal AI Writer may make Beta Services available to Customer at no charge, and Customer may choose to try such Beta Services at its sole discretion. Beta Services are intended for evaluation purposes and not for production use, are not supported, and may be subject to additional terms that will be presented to Customer. Beta Services are not considered “Services” under this Agreement for purposes of Section 7 (Warranties; Disclaimer) and Sections 8(a) (Indemnification by Unreal AI Writer); however, all restrictions, Unreal AI Writer’s reservation of rights, Customer’s obligations concerning the Services, and Customer’s use of any Third Party Products shall apply equally to Customer’s use of Beta Services. Unless otherwise stated, any Beta Services trial period will expire earlier than one year from the trial start date or the date otherwise specified in writing by Unreal AI Writer. Unreal AI Writer may discontinue Beta Services at any time in its sole discretion and may never make them generally available. Beta Services are provided “AS IS'' with no express or implied warranty and are outside the scope of Unreal AI Writer’s indemnification obligations.
a. Indemnification by Unreal AI Writer. Unreal AI Writer will defend and pay Customer, its employees, directors, and officers (the “Customer Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all costs, damages, and expenses (collectively, “Losses”), suffered or incurred by any Customer Indemnified Party, as a result of any claim brought by a third party (“Third Party Claim”) against a Customer Indemnified Party alleging that the Services in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement infringes any patent, copyright, trademark or trade secret right of a such third party (an “Infringement Claim”). Without limiting the foregoing, in the event that any portion of the Services is likely to, in Unreal AI Writer’s sole opinion, or does become the subject of an Infringement Claim, Unreal AI Writer may, at its option and expense: (i) procure for Customer the right to continue using the allegedly infringing item, (ii) substitute a functionally equivalent non-infringing replacement for such item, (iii) modify such item to make it non-infringing and functionally equivalent, or (iv) terminate the Agreement and any outstanding Order Forms and refund to Customer prepaid unused Fees for the infringing items. Unreal AI Writer shall have no liability for any Infringement Claim to the extent arising from (1) Customer’s use or supply to Unreal AI Writer of any Customer Property; (2) use of the Services in combination with any software, hardware, network, or system not supplied by Unreal AI Writer if the alleged infringement relates to such combination; (3) any modification or alteration of the Services (other than by Unreal AI Writer); (4) the Output; or (5) Customer’s violation of applicable law or third party rights.
b. Indemnification by Customer. Customer will defend and pay Unreal AI Writer, its employees, directors, and officers (the “Unreal AI Writer Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Losses, suffered or incurred by any Unreal AI Writer Indemnified Party, arising from any Third Party Claim against an Unreal AI Writer Indemnified Party (i) alleging that any Customer Property or Customer’s use of the Services beyond the license granted in this Agreement infringes, violates or misappropriates any patent, copyright, trademark or trade secret right of any third party or (ii) arising from Customer’s breach of the Platform Guidelines.
c. Indemnification Conditions. The Parties’ obligations under this Section 8 are contingent upon the indemnified party (i) giving prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim subject to indemnification under this Section 8, (ii) giving the indemnifying party sole control of the defense or settlement of the claim, and (iii) cooperating in the investigation and defense of such claim(s). The indemnifying party shall not settle or consent to an adverse judgment in any such claim that adversely affects the rights or interests of the indemnified party without the prior express written consent of the indemnified party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. The rights and remedies set forth in this Section 8 are the sole obligations of the indemnifying party and exclusive remedies available to the indemnified party in the event of an applicable Third Party Claim.
a. Limitation of Liability. EXCEPT FOR CLAIMS UNDER SECTIONS 6 AND 8, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY'S AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR UNDER ANY OTHER THEORY OF LIABILITY EXCEED THE AMOUNTS ACTUALLY PAID BY AND AMOUNTS ACCRUED BUT NOT YET PAID FROM CUSTOMER HEREUNDER DURING THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRIOR TO THE DATE ON WHICH SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION AROSE. THE FOREGOING LIMITATION APPLIES EVEN IF A PARTY’S REMEDIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT FAIL OF THEIR ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.
c. Exclusion of Consequential and Related Damages. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO THE OTHER PARTY OR TO ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF USE OR DATA, COSTS OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES, OR FOR ANY OTHER INDIRECT, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES HOWEVER CAUSED AND, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR UNDER ANY OTHER THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER OR NOT THE PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE. NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS, DAMAGE, OR INCONVENIENCE SUFFERED BY THE OTHER PARTY OR BY ANY THIRD PERSON, TO THE EXTENT THAT SUCH LOSS, DAMAGE, OR INCONVENIENCE IS CAUSED BY THE FAILURE OF THE OTHER PARTY TO COMPLY WITH ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.
a. Term of Agreement. This Agreement commences on the Effective Date and shall remain in effect until terminated in accordance with Section 10(c).
b. Term of Subscriptions. Customer’s access to the purchased Services shall commence on the start date specified in the relevant Order Form and continue for the Subscription Term specified on such Order Form. At the expiration of each Subscription Term, the Subscription Term for all purchased Services will automatically renew for the same period as the renewing Subscription Term, unless either Party elects to not renew by notifying the other Party in writing at least 60 days before such renewal (or at anytime before the renewal date, if the expiring Order Form provides for a month-to-month subscription). Except as otherwise specified in a written notice sent to Customer at least 60 days prior to a renewal (or 30 days, if the expiring Order Form provides for a month-to-month subscription). Any introductory or temporary discount offered in a previous Subscription Term does not apply for a renewal Subscription Term. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing caps on price increases shall not apply to renewals in which a Customer is transitioning from a month-to-month subscription to a longer subscription.
c. Termination. Either Party may terminate this Agreement and/or any Order Form by providing written notice to the other Party in the event the other Party materially breaches any of its duties, obligations, or responsibilities under this Agreement and fails to: (i) cure such breach within thirty (30) days after receipt by the breaching Party of written notice specifying the breach, or (ii) if the breaching Party is incapable of curing such breach within thirty (30) days, provide the other Party with an acceptable plan for curing such breach within ten (10) days after receipt of such notice and thereafter curing such breach in accordance with such plan. In addition, a Party may terminate this Agreement by providing written notice to the other Party if there are no Order Forms in effect for more than thirty (30) days, continuously.
d. Effect of Termination. Expiration or termination of one Order Form shall not affect any other Order Form. In the event of termination of this Agreement, Customer shall cease all use of the Services.
e. Surviving Provisions. The following provisions shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason and shall remain in effect after any such termination or expiration: Sections 1, 3, 4, 6, 7(d), 8, 9, 10(d), 10(e), 11, and the Platform Guidelines. Termination or expiration of this Agreement shall not affect any obligation accrued or arising prior to such termination or expiration.
a. Relationship. This Agreement does not create a partnership, franchise, joint venture, agency, fiduciary or employment relationship between the Parties, and Unreal AI Writer will be considered an independent contractor when performing any Services hereunder.
b. Entire Understanding. This Agreement (including the DPA (if applicable), the Platform Guidelines, the Information Security Requirements, and Order Forms, which are incorporated herein by reference) constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties as to its subject matter and supersedes all prior proposals, marketing materials, negotiations, and other written or oral communications between the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. To the extent of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions in the body of this Agreement and any Order Form, the terms of such Order Form shall prevail. Notwithstanding any language to the contrary therein, all terms and conditions stated in any Customer purchase order or in any other ordering documentation (excluding Order Forms) are hereby rejected. Such terms will not be deemed incorporated into or form any part of this Agreement, and all such terms or conditions are null and void.
c. Modification; Waiver. Except for Unreal AI Writer’s modification or update of the Documentation or the Service, or any policies as necessary to comply with applicable law, rules, and regulations, no modification of this Agreement, and no waiver of any breach of this Agreement or right under this Agreement, is legally binding against the other Party unless in writing and signed or electronically accepted by both Parties.
d. Assignment. Neither Party may assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder, whether by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior express written consent of the other Party, which consent (1) may not be unreasonably withheld, and (2) will be deemed to have been given if the other Party fails to respond to the requesting Party’s written notice of intent to assign within fourteen (14) days of receipt of such notice; provided, however, a Party may assign this Agreement in its entirety, together with all rights and obligations hereunder, without consent of the other Party, in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets related to this Agreement. Any attempt by a Party to assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement in breach of this section shall be void and of no effect. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the Parties, their respective successors, and permitted assigns.
f. Notices. Except for notification methods expressly permitted under the Platform Guidelines (if applicable), all notices, requests, consents, claims, demands, waivers, and other communications hereunder (each, a “Notice”) must be in writing and addressed to the Parties at the addresses set forth on the first page of this Agreement (or to such other address that may be designated by the Party giving Notice from time to time in accordance with this Section). All Notices must be delivered by personal delivery, nationally recognized overnight courier (with all fees pre-paid), facsimile, or email (with confirmation of transmission), or certified or registered mail (in each case, return receipt requested, postage pre-paid). Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, a Notice is effective only: (i) upon receipt by the receiving Party, and (ii) if the Party giving the Notice has complied with the requirements of this Section.
g. Anti-Corruption. Customer acknowledges and agrees that it has not received or been offered any illegal bribe, kickback, payment, gift, or thing of value from any Unreal AI Writer employees, agent or representative in connection with this Agreement, other than reasonable gifts and entertainment provided in the ordinary course of business. Customer will promptly notify Unreal AI Writer if it offers or receives any such improper payment or transfer in connection with this Agreement.
h. Force Majeure. Except for the performance of a payment obligation, neither Party shall be liable under this Agreement for delays, failures to perform, damages, losses or destruction, or malfunction of any equipment, or any consequence thereof, caused or occasioned by, or due to fire, earthquake, flood, water, the elements, labor disputes or shortages, utility curtailments, power failures, explosions, civil disturbances, governmental actions, epidemics, shortages of equipment or supplies, unavailability of transportation, acts or omissions of third parties, or any other cause beyond its reasonable control. In the event any of the foregoing events results in Unreal AI Writer not being able to provide the Services for a period of more than thirty (30) days, then either Party may terminate the Agreement upon written notice to the other Party.
j. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be contrary to law, the provision shall 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 remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in effect.
