8. Governing Law, Venue, and Liability Limitation. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the applicable laws of the State of Texas and applicable United States federal law. Copyright and other proprietary matters will be governed by applicable United States laws and international treaties. Except as set forth below, exclusive venue for all litigation regarding this Agreement shall be in Dallas County, Texas and you agree to submit to the jurisdiction of the courts in Dallas, Texas for any such litigation. Exclusive venue for all litigation involving Activision, but not involving ID, with regard to this Agreement shall be in Los Angeles County, California and you agree to submit to the jurisdiction of the courts in Los Angeles, California for any such litigation. You agree that your unauthorized use of the ID Images, the Printed Materials, or the Software, or any part thereof, may immediately and irreparably damage ID such that ID
|
|
could not be adequately compensated solely by a monetary award and that at ID's option ID shall be entitled to an injunctive order, in addition to all other available remedies including a monetary award, appropriately restraining and/or prohibiting such unauthorized use without the necessity of ID posting bond or other security.
|
|
|
|
IN ANY CASE, ID, ACTIVISION, AND ID'S AND ACTIVISION'S RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, DIRECTORS, AGENTS, LICENSEES (EXCLUDING YOU), SUBLICENSEES (EXCLUDING YOU), SUCCESSORS OR ASSIGNS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF PROFITS, LOST SAVINGS, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE OR OTHER SIMILAR DAMAGES ARISING FROM ANY ALLEGED CLAIM FOR BREACH OF WARRANTY, BREACH OF CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT PRODUCT LIABILITY, OR OTHER LEGAL THEORY EVEN IF ID, ACTIVISION OR THEIR RESPECTIVE AGENT(S) HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES OR EVEN IF SUCH DAMAGES ARE FORESEEABLE, OR LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIM BY ANY OTHER
|
|
PARTY. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. This section 8. shall survive the cancellation or termination of this Agreement.
|
|
|
|
9. U.S. Government Restricted Rights. To the extent applicable, the United States Government shall only have those rights to use the Software and the Printed Materials as expressly stated and expressly limited and restricted in this Agreement, as provided in 48 C.F.R. §§ 227.7201 through 227.7204, inclusive.
|
|
|
|
10. General Provisions. Neither this Agreement nor any part or portion hereof shall be assigned or sublicensed by you. ID and Activision each may assign its respective rights under this Agreement in the assigning party's sole discretion. Should any provision of this Agreement be held to be void, invalid, unenforceable or illegal by a court of competent jurisdiction, the validity and enforceability of the other provisions shall not be affected thereby. If any provision is determined to be unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, you agree to a modification of such provision to provide for enforcement of the provision's intent, to the extent permitted by applicable law. Failure of ID or Activision to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall not constitute or be construed as a waiver of such provision or of the right to enforce such provision. Immediately upon your failure to comply with or breach of any term or provision of this Agreement,
|
|
YOUR LICENSE AND THIS AGREEMENT SHALL AUTOMATICALLY TERMINATE, WITHOUT NOTICE, AND ID AND ACTIVISION MAY PURSUE ALL RELIEF AND REMEDIES AGAINST YOU WHICH ARE AVAILABLE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW AND/OR THIS AGREEMENT. In the event this Agreement is terminated, you shall have no right to use the Software, the Printed Materials or the New Creations, in any manner, and you shall immediately destroy all copies of the Software, the Printed Materials and the New Creations in your possession, custody or control.
