Disclaimer of Warranty. EXCEPT FOR THE FOREGOING LIMITED WARRANTY, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW,  NVSI NEITHER GRANTS NOR MAKES ANY WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, BY STATUTE OR OTHERWISE, REGARDING THE SOFTWARE OR ANY SERVICES PROVIDED BY NVSI IN CONNECTION THEREWITH.  NVSI DOES NOT WARRANT THE PERFORMANCE OF THE SOFTWARE WHEN USED IN CONNECTION WITH ANY OTHER HARDWARE OR SOFTWARE.  FURTHERMORE, NVSI EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS AND EXCLUDES ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.  NVSI DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE OPERATION OF THE SOFTWARE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE OR THAT THE SOFTWARE WILL OPERATE IN ANY SPECIFIC SYSTEM ENVIRONMENT.  YOU MAY HAVE OTHER LEGAL RIGHTS WHICH VARY FROM STATE/JURISDICTION TO STATE/JURISDICTION.

No Consequential Damages; Limitation of Liability.  IN NO EVENT WILL NVSI BE LIABLE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR OTHERWISE FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, WHETHER FORESEEABLE OR UNFORESEEABLE AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER NVSI HAS BEEN EXPRESSLY ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LOSS OF DATA, GOODWILL, MONEY, LOST PROFITS, LIABILITY OR INJURY TO THIRD PERSONS, INTERRUPTION IN USE OR AVAILABILITY OF DATA, STOPPAGE OF OTHER WORK OR IMPAIRMENT OF OTHER ASSETS), ARISING OUT OF BREACH OR FAILURE OF WARRANTY OR RELATED REMEDIES, BREACH OF CONTRACT, MISREPRESENTATION, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY IN TORT OR OTHERWISE. IN NO EVENT WILL NVSI’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY HEREUNDER EXCEED THE LICENSE FEES ACTUALLY PAID TO NVSI FOR THE SPECIFIC SOFTWARE LICENSED TO YOU THAT DIRECTLY CAUSED THE ALLEGED INJURY WITHIN THE SIX (6) MONTH PERIOD PRECEDING THE DATE OF THE INJURY.  BECAUSE SOME STATES/JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

Termination.  NVSI shall have the right, but not the obligation, to terminate this Agreement following receipt by NVSI of notice that you have (i) failed to make any payments of license fees for the Software or (ii) breached any other provision of this Agreement. The Order Form may grant NVSI and/or you additional rights to terminate this Agreement or the Order Form.  Upon termination of this Agreement, your license in the Software will terminate, and you must immediately cease all use of the Software and promptly return all Software and all other confidential information of NVSI provided to you, all copies thereof and all materials pertaining thereto, to NVSI.

Compliance with Applicable Law.  You agree that your use of the Software, including any exportation of the Software or any use of the Software outside of the United States, will comply with all applicable United States and foreign laws, rules and regulations.  The software is protected by US license and copyright laws and use of the software without appropriate authorization, enabling user beyond the contracted limit, using the software beyond the contracted timeframe or use of the software without payment will result in you being exposed to legal proceedings.  NVSI uses outside monitoring companies to periodically check compliance with their licensing arrangements and both NVSI and their external auditors are hereby granted permission to audit your compliance. 

Notice.  All notices provided for under this Agreement will be treated as given (i) when delivered personally or sent by nationally recognized overnight courier, on the next business day after such delivery or after delivery to the courier during normal business hours, or (ii) when mailed postage prepaid by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, on the fifth business day after the date of posting.  All notices shall be sent to the addresses on the Order Form, if any, or such other address as is noted in the packaging and documentation included with the Software, or such other address of which a party notifies the other party in accordance with this provision.

Choice of Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to conflicts of laws.  The parties irrevocably submit themselves to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Illinois and the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois for the purpose of bringing any action that may be brought in connection with this Agreement.  The parties agree that they shall not assert any claim that they are not subject to the jurisdiction of such courts, that the venue is improper, that the forum is inconvenient or any similar objection, claim or argument.

Independent Contractors.  The relationship of the parties shall be that of independent contractors, and neither party to this Agreement shall have the authority, express or implied, to act for or bind or otherwise obligate the other in any manner whatsoever.

Modification.  No modification of this Agreement shall be binding unless it is in writing and is signed by both parties.

Injunctive Relief. You acknowledge that, in the event of a breach of any provision of this Agreement by you, NVSI will not have an adequate remedy in money or damages. NVSI shall therefore be entitled to obtain an injunction against such breach from any court of competent jurisdiction immediately upon request without posting bond. NVSI's right to obtain injunctive relief shall not limit its right to seek further remedies. 
Assignment.  You may not assign this Agreement or any of your rights hereunder (by operation of law or otherwise) without NVSI's prior written consent.  NVSI may assign this Agreement without your consent.  Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties to this Agreement and their respective legal representatives, successors and permitted assigns.

Entire Agreement. The Order Form, if any, is incorporated by reference into this Agreement.  This Agreement and the accompanying Order Form constitute the entire understanding and agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter here of, and supersede any and all prior or contemporaneous representation, understandings and agreements, between the parties.  In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and the Order Form, the terms of the Agreement shall govern.

Waiver. The failure by a party to exercise any right hereunder shall not operate as a waiver of such party’s right to exercise such right or any other right in the future. 

Severability.  In the event that any terms (or any portion thereof) of this Agreement are declared invalid or void by any court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction, such term or portion thereof shall be deemed severed from this Agreement and all the remaining terms and portions thereof of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

Force Majeure.  Except for the payment of money, neither party will be liable for any failure or delay in performance under this Agreement due to an event beyond such party’s reasonable control.
