Government Use.The Services constitute Commercial Off the Shelf ("COTS") items as that term is defined in the U.S. Government Federal Acquisition Regulations ("FAR"). Government use rights are limited to those minimum rights required by the appropriate provisions of the FAR.

The parties agree to mediate any dispute between them arising out of this Agreement prior to the initiation of any court action or arbitration.

Matters which are within the jurisdiction of the small claims division of Shasta County are excluded from mediation.

General.These Terms constitute the entire understanding of the parties and supersede all prior and contemporaneous written and oral agreements with respect to the subject matter hereof. Any rule of construction to the effect that ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party will not be applied in the construction or interpretation of these Terms. If one or more of the provisions herein shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforcement of the remaining provisions shall not be affected or impaired. Any inconsistency between these Terms in English and these Terms in any other language shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be resolved by reference to the English version.

You may not assign or delegate any rights or obligations under the Terms. Any purported assignment and delegation shall be ineffective. Filtertrak may freely assign or delegate all rights and obligations under the Terms, fully or partially, with or without notice to You. Filtertrak may also substitute, by way of novation, any third-party that assumes our rights and obligations under these Terms. If You or Filtertrak cannot perform its obligations under these Terms because of any act of God, accident, strike, court order, fire, riot, war, failure of third-party equipment or any other cause not within the affected party's reasonable control and that could not be avoided through the exercise of reasonable care and diligence (a "Force Majeure Event"), then the non-performing party will, if possible and reasonable, (1) promptly notify the other party, (2) take reasonable steps to resume performance as soon as possible, and (3) not be considered in breach during the duration of the Force Majeure Event. If a Force Majeure Event continues for five (5) days, Filtertrak may terminate Your subscription to the Services and these Terms by providing electronic notice to You. IT IS EXPRESSLY UNDERSTOOD AND AGREED THAT IN THE EVENT ANY REMEDY HEREUNDER IS DETERMINED TO HAVE FAILED OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE, ALL LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY AND EXCLUSIONS OF DAMAGES SET FORTH HEREIN SHALL REMAIN IN FULL FORCE AND EFFECT.
