GENERAL PROVISIONS
11.1
Notices sent to either Party will be effective when delivered in writing and in person or by email,
one day after being sent by overnight courier, or five days after being sent by first class mail
postage prepaid to the official contact designated by the Party to whom a notice is being given.
Notices must be sent: (i) if to Tradable Bits, to the following address: [X] and (ii) if to Company,
to the current postal or email address that Tradable Bits has on file with respect to Company.
Tradable Bits may change its contact information by posting the new contact information on the
Website or by giving notice thereof to Company. Company is solely responsible for keeping its
contact information on file with Tradable Bits current at all times during the Term. Except as
otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Parties’ rights and remedies under this Agreement are
cumulative and are in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights and remedies
available at law or in equity or otherwise. The terms “include” and “including” mean, respectively,
“include without limitation” and “including without limitation.” The headings of sections of this
Agreement are for reference purposes only and have no substantive effect. The terms “consent” or
“discretion”, when used in respect of a Party in this Agreement, mean the right of such Party to
withhold such consent or exercise such discretion, as applicable, arbitrarily and without any
implied obligation to act reasonably or explain its decision to the other Party. The language
used in this Agreement is the language chosen by the Parties to express their mutual intent,
and no rule of strict construction will be applied against any Party. No amendment, supplement,
modification, waiver, or termination of this Agreement and, unless otherwise expressly specified
in this Agreement, no consent or approval by any Party, will be binding unless executed in writing
by the Party or Parties to be bound thereby. NOTWITHSTANDING THE PRECEDING SENTENCE, TRADABLE BITS
MAY UNILATERALLY AMEND THIS AGREEMENT, IN WHOLE OR IN PART (EACH, AN “AMENDMENT”), BY GIVING COMPANY
30 DAYS PRIOR NOTICE OF SUCH AMENDMENT OR POSTING NOTICE OF SUCH AMENDMENT ON THE WEBSITE. UNLESS
OTHERWISE INDICATED BY TRADABLE BITS, ANY SUCH AMENDMENT WILL BECOME EFFECTIVE 30 DAYS AFTER THE
DATE THE NOTICE OF SUCH AMENDMENT IS PROVIDED TO COMPANY OR IS POSTED ON THE WEBSITE (WHICHEVER
IS THE EARLIER). The Agreement will not be assigned by either Party, whether voluntarily or
involuntarily or by operation of law, in whole or in part, to any other entity without the
prior written consent of the other Party, which consent will not unreasonably be withheld,
conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Party may freely assign the
Agreement to a successor in interest upon a merger, acquisition, reorganization, change of control,
or sale of all or virtually all of its assets, and any such assignment will not require the consent
of the other Party or without notice to the other Party, provided that, in each case, the assignee
is not an entity that may be reasonably construed as offering competitive functionality or services
to those offered by Tradable Bits. Any assignment in violation of this Section will be null and
void from the beginning and will be deemed a material breach of the Agreement. This Agreement enures
to the benefit of and is binding upon the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
The Agreement will be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction
identified in the Statement of Work, without regard to conflicts of law principles. The Parties
irrevocably attorn to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the jurisdiction identified in
the Statement of Work, with respect to any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with
the Agreement. The U.N. Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods will not apply
to the Agreement. This choice of jurisdiction does not prevent: (i) either Party from seeking
injunctive relief with respect to a violation of Intellectual Property Rights or confidentiality
obligations in any appropriate jurisdiction; or (ii) Tradable Bits from seeking remedies to collect
unpaid Fees from Company, in any appropriate jurisdiction. Each of the Parties irrevocably waives,
to the fullest extent it may effectively do so, the defence of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance
of such action, application or proceeding. Neither Party will be deemed to be an employee, agent,
partner, joint venturer or legal representative of the other for any purpose and neither will have
any right, power or authority to create any obligation or responsibility on behalf of the other.
Neither Party will be liable for delays caused by any event or circumstances beyond that Party’s
reasonable control, including acts of God, acts of government, flood, fire, earthquakes, civil unrest,
acts of terror, strikes, slowdowns, walkouts or other labour problems (other than those involving that
Party’s employees), Internet service failures or delays, cyberattacks, or the unavailability or
Modification by third parties of telecommunications or hosting infrastructure or third party software
or websites or changes in law preventing or limiting the provision of the Tradable Bits Solution
(“Force Majeure Event”). This Section does not apply to any of Company’s obligations under Article 6,
Article 8, or Section 9.3. In the event of any failure or delay caused by a Force Majeure Event,
the affected Party will give prompt written notice to the other Party stating the period of time
the occurrence is expected to continue and use commercially reasonable efforts to end the failure
or delay and minimize the effects of such Force Majeure Event. Except for Tradable Bits licensors
and Indemnitees, there are no third-party beneficiaries to the Agreement. Each Party will from time
to time and at all times do such further acts and execute and deliver such further documents as may
be reasonably required in order to evidence, carry out and give full effect to the terms, conditions,
intent and meaning of the Agreement. This Agreement (including all SOWs) constitutes the entire
agreement between the Parties and set out all the covenants, promises, warranties, representations,
conditions, and agreements between the Parties in connection with the subject matter of this
Agreement and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements, representations or other communications
between the Parties, whether written or oral. For clarity, any terms and conditions appearing on a
purchase order or similar document issued by Company, or in Company’s procurement, invoicing, or
vendor onboarding portal: (i) do not apply to the Tradable Bits Solution; and (ii) do not override
or form a part of this Agreement (including any SOW). If any provision of the Agreement is held
by a court of competent jurisdiction to be contrary to law, such provision will be changed and
interpreted so as to best accomplish the objectives of the original provision to the fullest extent
allowed by law and the remaining provisions of the Agreement will remain in full force and effect.
No failure or delay by either Party in exercising any right, power, or remedy under the Agreement,
except as specifically provided herein, will operate as a waiver of any such right, power or remedy.
To the extent of a conflict between this Terms of Service and any SOWs: (i) in respect of
Article 4 (Ownership; Reservation of Rights), Article 6 (Fees and Payment) Article 8 (Confidentiality),
Article 9 (Warranty; Disclaimer; Indemnity; and Limitation of Liability), Section 10.5 (Survival),
Article 11 (General Provisions), Article 12 (Definitions), these Terms of Service will prevail; and
(ii) for all other Sections, unless the SOW expressly states that it modifies or varies these
Terms of Service, these Terms of Service will prevail. The Parties confirm that the essential
stipulations of this Agreement reflect the mutual agreement of the Parties further to negotiation,
and were not imposed by either Party, even when drawn up by one of the Parties. The Parties further
confirm that it is the express wish of all Parties that this Agreement, all documents related to this
Agreement and all communications between the Parties in the context of the performance of this
Agreement be in English only. Les parties confirment que les stipulations essentielles de la
présente entente reflètent le résultat de discussions libres de gré à gré et n’ont pas été
imposées par l’une ou l’autre des parties, même lorsque rédigées par l’une des parties. Les parties
confirment également que c’est la volonté expresse des parties que la présente entente, tout document
s’y rattachant et toute communication entre les parties dans le cadre de l’exécution de cette entente
soient uniquement en anglais.
