21. Force Majeure

 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, neither Party shall be deemed in default of this Agreement for failure to fulfil its obligations when due to causes beyond its reasonable control. This provision shall not be construed as excusing non-performance of any obligation by either Party to make payment to the other Party under this Agreement.

 

 

 

22. General

 

(a)          Third Party Beneficiaries. GTM's affiliates and GTM's suppliers and their respective directors, officers and employees thereof are intended third party beneficiaries for the purpose of the Sections of this Agreement entitled, "Limitation of Liability" (Section 16) and "Disclaimer" (Section 15). Except as otherwise specifically stated in this Section, the provisions herein are for the benefit of the Parties and not for any other person or entity.

 

(b)          Waivers of Default. No Party is to be deemed to have waived or forfeited any right under this Agreement, whether on the basis of failure, delay or any other legal or equitable doctrine, unless such waiver is made in writing signed by an authorized signatory of the Party against whom the waiver is sought to be enforced. Waiver of any provision, or any breach of any provision, of this Agreement in one instance shall not constitute a waiver as to any other instance.

 

(c)           Survival. The terms, conditions and warranties contained in this Agreement that by their sense and context are intended to survive the performance hereof shall so survive the completion of performance, cancellation or termination of this Agreement.

 

 

 

(d)          Governing Law and Dispute Resolution. This Agreement is to be governed by and construed under the laws of Scotland, excluding any body of law governing conflicts of law. The Parties agree that the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is hereby excluded in its entirety from application to this Agreement.

 

(e)          Severability. To the extent any section, clause, provision or sentence or part thereof ("Part") of this Agreement is determined to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable by a competent authority in any jurisdiction, then such determination of that Part will not affect: (i) the legality, validity or enforceability of the remaining Parts of this Agreement; or (ii) the legality, validity or enforceability of that Part in any other jurisdiction, and that Part will be limited if possible and only thereafter severed, if necessary, to the extent required to render the Agreement valid and enforceable.

 

(f)           Language. If this Agreement is translated into a language other than English, the English version will prevail to the extent that there is any conflict or discrepancy in meaning between the English version and any translation thereof. Unless, and only to the extent, prohibited by law in Your jurisdiction, any and all disagreements, disputes, mediation, arbitration or litigation relating to this Agreement shall be conducted in the English language, including, without limitation, any correspondence, discovery, submissions, filings, pleadings, oral pleadings, arguments, oral arguments and orders or judgments.

 

(g)          Entire Agreement. This Agreement (which for the purposes of any Addenda hereto, shall in relation to the subject matter of that Addenda, include the terms of the Addenda), constitute(s) the entire agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and there are no provisions, understandings, communications, representations, warranties, undertakings, collateral agreements or agreements between the Parties relating to the Software other than as set out in this Agreement. This Agreement supersedes any prior or contemporaneous provisions, understandings, communications, representations, warranties, undertakings, collateral agreements and agreements between the Parties, whether oral or written, with respect to the subject matter hereof, and You acknowledge that You have not relied on any of the foregoing in agreeing to enter into this Agreement. This Agreement may be amended at any time upon mutual agreement by the Parties. Except to the extent that GTM is expressly precluded by applicable law, GTM further reserves the right to make changes to this Agreement on a prospective basis, either to reflect changes in or required by law (including without limitation changes to ensure the enforceability of this Agreement) or changes in business practices, by providing You with reasonable notice of the change either electronically (as contemplated by the Notice provision above) or by posting notice of the change to any and all GTM or BIZpaye websites. If You continue to use the Software after notice of the change has been given, then You shall be deemed to have accepted this change.

 

(h)          Compliance With Laws. You will, at Your expense, obtain and maintain all licenses, registrations and approvals required by the government authorities or applicable law in Your jurisdiction for the execution and performance of this Agreement or any related license agreements. In particular and for the avoidance of doubt, You will comply with all applicable laws and regulations and will obtain any necessary license, registration and approval from competent government authorities for the importation and use of any Software that contains commercial encryption or other security function required by applicable law. You will provide GTM with the assurances and official documents that GTM periodically may request to verify Your compliance with this obligation.
