(c) SdNcenter shall have no obligation under this Section 17.1 as to any claim or action caused by: (i) any use, reproduction, or distribution of the Software not in accordance with this Agreement; (ii) the combination, operation or use of the Software with other software, hardware, equipment or data not furnished by SdNcenter (whether furnished by Licensee or any third party), where the Software otherwise would not itself be infringing; (iii) use of other than a current unaltered version or release of the Software, provided that such version or release had been made available to Licensee; or (iv) any modification of the Software by any person other than SdNcenter or its authorized agents or contractors.

Licensee may not directly or indirectly transfer the Software, including its Documentation, to any country if such transfer would be prohibited by applicable law, including the U.S. or Polish Export Administration Act and the regulations issued thereunder. Licensee agrees to the foregoing and Licensee is representing and warranting that Licensee is not located in, under the control of, or a national or resident of any such country.
19.3 Changes to the Software.

This Agreement will be governed by the laws of the Warsaw, Poland, without regard to or application of conflicts of law rules or principles. The parties expressly exclude (as may be applicable) the application of the UN Convention on the International Sale of Goods. The parties further agree that the Hague Convention, including the provisions of the Hague Convention on the Taking of Evidence, shall not apply to any proceeding to enforce the Agreement or any right or dispute originating under the Agreement.
19.5 Modification
Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, this Agreement may be amended or modified only by a subsequent written amendment signed by the authorized representatives of both parties. Except for any terms or conditions included in an Order accepted by SdNcenter, the or terms or conditions on any purchase order or similar document provided by Licensee will have no force or effect and will not serve to modify the terms of this Agreement.
19.6 Severability.
If any provision of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable, that provision will be changed and interpreted to accomplish the objectives of such provision to the greatest extent possible under applicable law and the remaining provisions will remain in full force. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Licensee agrees that Section 18 will remain in effect notwithstanding the unenforceability of any provision in Section 12.2.
19.7 Waiver.
All waivers under this Agreement must be in writing. 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.

All notices, consents, and approvals under this Agreement must be delivered in writing by electronic mail, courier, electronic facsimile, or certified or registered mail (postage prepaid and return receipt requested) to License at the address for Licensee set forth on any Order placed by Licensee and to SdNcenter at the address for SdNcenter set forth on the then-current SdNcenter web site. All notices will be effective upon receipt or 3 business days after being deposited in the mail, whichever occurs sooner. Either party may change its address by giving notice of the new address to the other party.
19.9 Court Costs.
If any proceeding or lawsuit is brought by SdNcenter or Licensee in connection with this Agreement, the prevailing party in such proceeding or lawsuit shall be entitled to receive its costs, expert witness fees and reasonable attorney’s fees, including costs and fees on appeal. The failure of either party to require performance by the other party of any provision hereof shall not affect the full right to require such performance at any time thereafter; nor shall the waiver by either party of a breach of any provision hereof be taken or held to be a waiver of the provision itself.
19.10 Assignment.
Neither this Agreement nor any rights or obligations of Licensee hereunder may be assigned by Licensee in whole or in part (by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written approval of SdNcenter, provided, however, that if Licensee is an entity or organization and enters into a merger or consolidation of Licensee, or if any entity purchases or otherwise acquires all, or substantially all, of the assets of that segment of Licensee’s business relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, Licensee shall be able to assign this Agreement as a whole to the surviving corporation or purchasing or acquiring entity following notice to SdNcenter, provided that such surviving or acquiring entity first agrees in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. SdNcenter may assign this Agreement, and any rights or obligations of Licensee hereunder, without the consent of Licensee. Any assignment in derogation of the foregoing shall be null and void. This Agreement shall inure only to the benefit of SdNcenter, Licensee, and their valid successors and assigns.
19.11 Remedies.
Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the parties’ rights and remedies under this Agreement are cumulative. Licensee acknowledges that the Software contains valuable trade secrets and proprietary information of SdNcenter, that any actual or threatened breach of Sections 4, 5, 6, 7 and 9 will constitute immediate, irreparable harm to SdNcenter for which monetary damages would be an inadequate remedy, and that injunctive relief is an appropriate remedy for such breach.
