The TOU shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict of laws principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is specifically excluded from application to the TOU.

19. DISPUTES

Notwithstanding the terms of this Agreement, any controversy or dispute arising out of or related to this Agreement, or the breach, termination, or validity thereof, must be resolved in accordance with the procedures specified below, which will, in addition to any equitable relief identified herein, be the sole and exclusive initial procedures of the resolution of any such controversy or Dispute (as defined below).

(a) ALL CLAIMS RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION RATHER THAN IN COURT, EXCEPT THAT LICENSEE MAY ASSERT CLAIMS IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT (DEFINED FOR THE PURPOSES OF THIS AGREEMENT AS A COURT OF LIMITED JURISDICTION THAT MAY ONLY HEAR CLAIMS NOT EXCEEDING $5,000 OR SUCH LESSER AMOUNT AS IS APPLICABLE) IF LICENSEE’S CLAIMS ARE WITHIN THE COURT’S JURISDICTION. THERE IS NO JUDGE OR JURY IN ARBITRATION, AND COURT REVIEW OF AN ARBITRATION AWARD IS LIMITED.

The arbitration shall be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its then-applicable Commercial Arbitration Rules or, as appropriate, its Consumer Arbitration Rules. The AAA’s rules may be available at http://www.adr.org/. The arbitrator will, among other things, have the power to rule on his or her own jurisdiction, including any objections with respect to the existence, scope, or validity of the arbitration agreement or to the arbitrability of any Claims. Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees shall be governed by the AAA’s rules. The arbitration shall be conducted in the English language by a single independent and neutral arbitrator. For any hearing conducted in person as part of the arbitration, Licensee agrees that such hearing shall be conducted in Austin, Texas or, if the Consumer Arbitration Rules apply, another location reasonably convenient to both Parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances, as determined by the arbitrator. The decision of the arbitrator on all matters relating to the Claim shall be final and binding. Judgment on the arbitral award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

LICENSEE AND TV EACH AGREE THAT ALL CLAIMS RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE RESOLVED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, ARBITRATION, OR OTHER SIMILAR PROCESS AND EXPRESSLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO HAVE A CLAIM DETERMINED OR RESOLVED ON A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE BASIS. IF FOR ANY REASON THE PROVISIONS OF THE PRECEDING SENTENCE ARE HELD TO BE INVALID OR UNENFORCEABLE IN A CASE IN WHICH CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE CLAIMS HAVE BEEN ASSERTED, THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 19 REQUIRING BINDING ARBITRATION SHALL LIKEWISE BE UNENFORCEABLE AND NULL AND VOID. IF FOR ANY REASON A CLAIM PROCEEDS IN COURT RATHER THAN IN ARBITRATION, LICENSEE AND TV EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND AGREE THAT SUCH CLAIM SHALL BE BROUGHT ONLY IN A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION IN AUSTIN, TEXAS. LICENSEE HEREBY SUBMITS TO THE PERSONAL JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF SUCH COURTS AND WAIVES ANY OBJECTION ON THE GROUNDS OF VENUE, FORUM NON-CONVENIENS, OR ANY SIMILAR GROUNDS WITH RESPECT TO ANY SUCH CLAIM.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Licensee and TV may seek injunctive relief and any other equitable remedies from any court of competent jurisdiction to protect Licensee’s or its intellectual property rights, whether in aid of, pending, or independently of the resolution of any dispute pursuant to the arbitration procedures set forth in this Section 19.

If TV implements any material change to this Section 19, such change shall not apply to any Claim for which Licensee provided written notice to TV before the implementation of the change.

20. LEGAL COMPLIANCE

You represent and warrant that you are not: (a) located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated by the U.S. Government as a “terrorist supporting” country; and (b) listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties, including the Specially Designated Nationals List.

21. U.S. GOVERNMENT ENTITIES

The United States Government shall acquire only those rights set forth in the TOU with respect to the such items, and any access to or use of the 6 Levers Framework by the United States Government constitutes: (a) agreement by the United States Government that that such items are “commercial computer software” and “commercial computer software documentation” as defined in this section; and (b) acceptance of the rights and obligations herein.

·   Identification of the copyrighted work you believe to have been infringed or, if the claim involves multiple works on the 6 Levers Framework, a representative list of such works.

·   Identification of the material you believe to be infringing in a sufficiently precise manner to allow TV to locate that material.

·   Adequate information by which TV can contact you (including your name, postal address, telephone number, and, if available, email address).

·   A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the copyrighted material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.

·   A statement that the information in the written notice is accurate.

·   A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

Our designated copyright agent to receive DMCA Notices is:

TV DMCA Agent:

If you fail to comply with all of the requirements of Section 512(c)(3) of the DMCA, your DMCA Notice may not be effective.

Please be aware that if you knowingly materially misrepresent that material or activity on the 6 Levers Framework is infringing your copyright, you may be held liable for damages (including costs and attorneys’ fees) under Section 512(f) of the DMCA.

24. COUNTER NOTIFICATION PROCEDURES

If you believe that material you posted on the 6 Levers Framework was removed or access to it was disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may file a counter notification with TV (a “Counter Notice”) by submitting written notification to our copyright agent designated above. Pursuant to the DMCA, the Counter Notice must include substantially the following:

·   Your physical or electronic signature.

·   An identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access disabled.

·   Adequate information by which we can contact you (including your name, postal address, telephone number, and, if available, email address).

·   A statement under penalty of perjury by you that you have a good faith belief that the material identified above was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled.

·   A statement that you will consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or if you reside outside the United States for any judicial district in which the 6 Levers Framework may be found) and that you will accept service from the person (or an agent of that person) who provided the 6 Levers Framework with the complaint at issue.

The DMCA allows TV to restore the removed content if the party filing the original DMCA Notice does not file a court action against you within ten (10) business days of receiving the copy of your Counter Notice.

Please be aware that if you knowingly materially misrepresent that material or activity on the 6 Levers Framework was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may be held liable for damages (including costs and attorneys’ fees) under Section 512(f) of the DMCA.

25. GENERAL PROVISIONS

The TOU (together with the License Agreement) constitutes the entire agreement between you and TV concerning your access to and use of the Website or 6 Levers Framework. It supersedes all prior and contemporaneous oral or written negotiations and agreements between you and TV with respect to such subject matter. In the event of any conflict between or among the TOU and the License Agreement, the terms and conditions of the TOU shall take precedence and govern. The TOU may not be amended by you except in a writing executed by you and an authorized representative of TV. For the purposes of the TOU, the words “such as,” “include,” “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” You may not assign or delegate any right or obligation under the TOU without the prior written consent of TV. The failure of TV to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the TOU shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of this TOU is held to be invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, then such provision shall be construed, limited, modified or, if necessary, severed to the extent necessary to eliminate its invalidity or unenforceability, without in any way affecting the remaining parts of the TOU. Any prevention of or delay in performance by either party hereunder due to labor disputes of third parties, acts of god, pandemics (other than the conditions of COVID-19 as they exist upon the Effective Date), governmental restrictions, enemy or hostile governmental action, fire or other casualty or other causes beyond its reasonable control and which it could not have prevented through the exercise of reasonable care and precautions (“Force Majeure Event”) shall excuse the performance of its obligations for a period equal to the duration of any such prevention or delay. In the event of any litigation between the Parties hereto arising out of or relating to the enforcement of this Agreement, or a Party’s breach thereof, the “prevailing Party” shall be entitled to recover from the other Party, in addition to whatever other remedies such prevailing Party may be entitled, attorneys’ fees, expenses, and costs incurred. As used herein, “prevailing Party” means the Party in whose favor a final judgment, order, or decree is rendered or entered. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts by the Parties and shall become binding and effective when the Parties’ respective and separate counterparts have been exchanged between the Parties.
