written or e mailed instrument that is agreed to by each of the Parties
by verifiable means including without limitation by signature or through
a "click through" acknowledgement of agreement on the Outlook Website.
(D) Arizona law shall
govern the rights and obligations of the Parties and any dispute arising
hereunder or relating to the terms hereof or the performance by either
of the Parties shall be resolved only through binding arbitration
conducted in Maricopa County, Arizona before a single arbitrator in an
arbitration conducted in accordance with the then applicable commercial
arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”).
Notwithstanding the reference to the rules of AAA, it shall not be
necessary for either of the Parties to agree to have any such
arbitration administered by AAA save and except to the extent that the
Parties are unable to agree to the appointment of an Arbitrator within
ten (10) days after one of the Parties shall serve a demand for
Arbitration upon the other. In such an instance either of the Parties
either may ask AAA to appoint an arbitrator or commence an action in
Superior Court in Maricopa County Arizona for the purpose of appointing
such an arbitrator. In addition, notwithstanding the provision requiring
arbitration of disputes, nothing contained herein shall preclude either
of the Parties from commencing an action in the Superior Court in
Maricopa County Arizona seeking injunctive relief to prevent any
violation of the provisions of this Agreement relating to any form of
confidential information or actions in derogation of the intellectual or
other property rights of the other, it being agreed that in the event
such violation shall occur the party not in violation shall have no
adequate remedy at law and that thus injunctive relief is proper.

(F) Each of the Parties
represents and warrants to the other that it has full power and
authority to grant the licenses granted pursuant hereto and that the
licenses do not infringe on the rights of any third party and agrees to
indemnify the other against and hold the other harmless from any claims
or liabilities arising out of the breach of such warranty.
(G) Neither of the
Parties shall be liable by reason of any failure or delay in the
performance of its obligations hereunder for any cause beyond the
reasonable control of such party, including but not limited to
electrical outages, failure of Internet service providers, riots,
insurrection, war (or similar), fires, flood, earthquakes, explosions,
and other acts or forces of nature.
(H) If any provision of
this Agreement is held by any court of competent jurisdiction to be
illegal, null or void or against public policy, the remaining provisions
of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. The Parties
shall in good faith attempt to modify any invalidated provision to carry
out the stated intentions in this Agreement. The waiver of any breach of
any provision under this Agreement by either of the Parties shall not be
deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or subsequent breach, nor shall
any waiver constitute a continuing waiver.
(I) Except as
specifically permitted herein, neither of the Parties may assign this
Agreement without the prior express written permission of the other.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, consent of the other party shall not be
required for assignment or transfer made by operation of law, or to an
