Any notice required or permitted to be given in accordance with this Agreement will be effective if it is in writing and sent by certified or registered mail, or insured courier, return receipt requested, to the appropriate Party at the address set forth on the applicable Order and with the appropriate postage affixed. Either Party may change its address for receipt of notice by notice to the other Party in accordance with this Section 10.8.

10.9 Force Majeure. Neither Party will be liable for, or be considered to be in breach of or default under this Agreement (except for failure to make payments when due) on account of, any delay or failure to perform as required by this Agreement as a result of any cause or condition beyond its reasonable control, so long as that Party uses all commercially reasonable efforts to avoid or remove the causes of non-performance.

This Agreement will be interpreted, construed, and enforced in all respects in accordance with the local laws of the State of California, and not including the provisions of the 1980 U.N. Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Each Party hereby irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the federal, state, and local courts in Santa Clara County, California in connection with any action arising out of or in connection with this Agreement.
10.11 Waiver. The waiver by either Party of any breach of any provision of this Agreement does not waive any other breach. The failure of any Party to insist on strict performance of any covenant or obligation in accordance with this Agreement will not be a waiver of such Party’s right to demand strict compliance in the future, nor will the same be construed as a novation of this Agreement.
10.12 Severability. If any part of this Agreement is found to be illegal, unenforceable, or invalid, the remaining portions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect. If any material limitation or restriction on the use of the Platform under this Agreement is found to be illegal, unenforceable, or invalid, Customer’s right to use the Platform will immediately terminate.
10.13 Interpretation. For purposes of this Agreement, (a) the words “include,” “includes” and “including” will be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation;”; (b) the words “such as”, “for example” “e.g.” and any derivatives of those words will mean by way of example and the items that follow these words will not be deemed an exhaustive list; (c) the word “or” is used in the inclusive sense of “and/or” and the terms “or,” “any,” and “either” are not exclusive; (d) the words “herein,” “hereof,” “hereby,” “hereto” and “hereunder” refer to this Agreement as a whole; (e) words denoting the singular have a comparable meaning when used in the plural, and vice-versa; and (f) whenever the context may require, any pronouns used in this Agreement will include the corresponding masculine, feminine or neuter forms, and the singular form of nouns and pronouns will include the plural, and vice versa.

10.14 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including all exhibits, is the final and complete expression of the agreement between these Parties regarding the subject matter hereof. This Agreement supersedes, and the terms of this Agreement govern, all previous oral and written communications regarding these matters, all of which are merged into this Agreement, except that this Agreement does not supersede any prior nondisclosure or comparable agreements between the Parties executed prior to this Agreement being executed, nor does it affect the validity of any agreements between the Parties relating to other products or services of Dragonfruit that are not described in an Order and with respect to which Customer has executed a separate agreement with Dragonfruit that remains in effect. No employee, agent, or other representative of Dragonfruit has any authority to bind Dragonfruit with respect to any statement, representation, warranty, or other expression unless the same is specifically set forth in this Agreement. No usage of trade or other regular practice or method of dealing between the Parties will be used to modify, interpret, supplement, or alter the terms of this Agreement. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, this Agreement may be changed only by a written agreement signed by an authorized agent of the Party against whom enforcement is sought. Dragonfruit will not be bound by, and specifically objects to, any term, condition, or other provision that is different from or in addition to this Agreement (whether or not it would materially alter this Agreement) that is proffered by Customer in any receipt, acceptance, confirmation, correspondence, or otherwise, unless Dragonfruit specifically provides a written acceptance of such provision signed by an authorized agent of Dragonfruit.
