15. Miscellaneous.

15.1. Assignment. Contronex is entering into this Agreement with SECUREVALUE Partner based in substantial part on the unique attributes that SECUREVALUE Partner and its business offer; therefore, neither this Agreement nor any of SECUREVALUE Partner’s rights or obligations hereunder may be assigned, subcontracted or otherwise transferred (by merger, operation of law or in any other manner) by SECUREVALUE Partner without the prior written consent of Contronex, which will not be unreasonably withheld. Any attempted assignment, subcontract or other transfer of this Agreement or any of SECUREVALUE Partner’s rights or obligations hereunder in contravention of this Section 14.1 will be void ab initio and will be considered a material breach of this Agreement. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns. Contronex may assign this Agreement to a successor in interest to all or substantially all of its business or assets.

15.2. Governing Law. The Governing Law, without reference to conflict of law rules, govern this Agreement and any dispute of any sort that might arise between you and us. The United Nations Convention for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to this Agreement.

15.3. Disputes. Any dispute arising under or relating to this Agreement will be adjudicated in the Governing Institutions, and you consent to the jurisdiction and venue of the Governing Institutions, subject to the additional provisions below.

15.4. Equitable Relief. Each party acknowledges that any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement involving an unauthorized use of the other party’s Confidential Information or intellectual property, or use of the Trademarks, will result in irreparable harm for which damages would not be an adequate remedy, and therefore, in addition to its rights and remedies otherwise available at law, the non-breaching party will be entitled to seek injunctive or other equitable relief, as appropriate, without posting any bond. If the non-breaching party seeks injunctive or other equitable relief in the event of a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement involving an unauthorized use of its Confidential Information or intellectual property, or misappropriation of the Trademarks, the other party agrees that it will not allege in any such proceeding that the non-breaching party’s remedy at law is adequate. If the non-breaching party seeks any equitable remedies, it will not be precluded or prevented from seeking remedies at law, nor will it be deemed to have made an election of remedies.

15.5. Attorney and Expert Fees. The prevailing party in any controversy arising out of this Agreement will be entitled to recover its reasonable attorney and expert fees and costs, in addition to any other relief to which it may be entitled.

15.6. Relationship of the Parties. This Agreement does not make either party the agent of the other, or create a partnership, joint venture or similar relationship between the parties. Neither party is granted any right or authority to assume or to create any obligation or responsibility, express or implied, on behalf of or in the name of the other party. In fulfilling its obligations pursuant to this Agreement, each party will be acting as an independent contractor.

15.7. Inspection. In the event Contronex is audited or reasonably believes that SECUREVALUE Partner is not in compliance with this Agreement, including, without limitation, with respect to the Customer Authorized Usage, SECUREVALUE Partner will permit Contronex or its representatives to review SECUREVALUE Partner’s facilities and records to ensure compliance with this Agreement. Contronex will give SECUREVALUE Partner at least five (5) days’ advance notice of any such inspection and will conduct any such inspection during normal business hours in a manner that does not interfere with SECUREVALUE Partner’s normal operations. Contronex undertakes to keep any information accessed during such inspection strictly confidential and to use such information only for compliance purposes.
