The failure of either party to enforce at any time the provisions of this Agreement shall not be interpreted to be a waiver of such provisions or of the right of such party to enforce each and every such provision. This Agreement is governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the principles of conflict of laws. Any disputes arising out of or in connection with the Agreement shall be brought exclusively before the competent courts of Delaware. If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be void or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such clause shall be interpreted as necessary to give maximum force to the provisions thereof, and the validity and enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected. All notices given under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given: when delivered, if delivered by messenger during normal business hours of the recipient; when sent, if transmitted by facsimile transmission during normal business hours of the recipient; or on the third business day following posting, if posted by international air mail. Customer may not transfer or assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement to any third party. Any purported assignment contrary to this section shall be void.
