14. MISCELLANEOUS

14.1 Governing Law; Jurisdiction. These Terms shall be made, governed, construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts without reference to conflicts of law principles except that the laws of the jurisdiction in which an intellectual property right exists shall govern the nature and scope of such intellectual property and EFI’s rights to such intellectual property. However, if any version of the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act (UCITA) is or becomes a part of the law of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, said statute shall not govern any aspect of these Terms, and instead the law as it existed prior to the enactment of that statute will govern. Each of you and EFI agrees that any dispute or proceeding under these Terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state courts or the U.S. District Court located in Boston, Massachusetts to the extent such federal court has independent subject matter jurisdiction without reference to this provision, and the respective court of appeals, and each of you and EFI hereby irrevocably consents to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of these courts, provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, EFI may seek equitable or injunctive relief, including preliminary or provisional injunctive relief (such as a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction), and specific performance to enforce the provisions of these Terms or to protect the status quo between the Parties in any competent court having jurisdiction of the other Party.

14.2 Severability. In the event that one or more of the provisions herein shall be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, each such provision shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary and possible to render it valid and enforceable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the unenforceability or invalidity of any provision shall not affect any other provision of these Terms, and these Terms shall continue in full force and effect, and be construed and enforced as if such provision had not been included, or had been modified as above provided, as the case may be.

14.3 No Waiver. EFI’s failure or delay to enforce any provision of these Terms or respond to any breach by you or others shall not operate or be construed as a waiver or prevent EFI from taking any permitted action to prevent further breaches.

14.4 Survival. The following provisions shall survive termination or expiration of these Terms: 1 (Privacy Policy), 9 (Content), 12 (Disclaimer), 13 (Limitation of Liability), 14 (Indemnification), and 16 (Miscellaneous), as well as those sections that by their nature are intended to be applicable following the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

14.5 Entire Agreement. These Terms constitute the entire understanding of EFI and you with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous written and oral agreements with respect to the subject matter.

14.6 Assignment. You shall not be entitled to and shall not assign or delegate or otherwise transfer any rights or obligations under these Terms to any other person, in whole or in part, except with the prior express written consent of EFI which EFI may withhold in its sole discretion. Any purported assignment, delegation, transfer, or novation in violation of the terms of this Section 16.6 (Assignment) shall be null and void and shall be of no force and effect. EFI may assign, delegate, or otherwise transfer any and all rights or obligations under these Terms, including to (a) any affiliate or (b) any entity in connection with the sale, combination, or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets related to the Site or of control over EFI or from any other corporate form of reorganization by or of EFI. Neither these Terms nor any rights hereunder shall inure to the benefit of any trustee in bankruptcy or receivers of you, whether by operation of law or otherwise. Any permitted successors and assigns of you or EFI shall be bound by the provisions and obligations of these Terms applicable to the assignor hereunder. No provision of these Terms shall create any rights or benefits in favor of third parties.

14.7 Construction. The section headings in these Terms are for convenience of reference only, will not be deemed to be a part of the Terms and will not be referred to in connection with the construction or interpretation of the Terms. Any rule of construction to the effect that ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting Party will not be applied in the construction or interpretation of the Terms. As used in the Terms, the words “include” and “including,” and variations thereof, will not be deemed to be terms of limitation, but rather will be deemed in each instance to be followed by the words “without limitation.”

14.8 Waiver of Trial by Jury. You and EFI hereby irrevocably waive any and all rights any of them may have, now or in the future, to have any controversy between them or claim against any of them or any other affiliate of EFI, arising out of or relating to these terms or any transaction or contract contemplated by these terms or related hereto, including any claim based on or arising from an alleged tort or statutory violation, be heard or decided by a jury in a trial or other proceeding.
