13. GENERAL PROVISIONS.
a. ENFORCEMENT/CHOICE OF LAW/CHOICE OF FORUM. The laws of the State of Kansas shall apply to this Agreement, without regard to any conflict of laws provisions. The 1980 United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, the United Nations Convention on the Limitation Period in the International Sale of Goods, and the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act, and any implementations thereof in various jurisdictions and any subsequent revisions thereto, shall not apply to these Terms of Use. Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or your use of the Smart Tank Service or the Content (a "Dispute") shall be settled by arbitration under the rules provided by the American Arbitration Association (AAA), and you hereby waive any right you may otherwise have to a jury trial.
A single arbitrator shall preside over any arbitration, and such arbitrator shall, in his or her sole discretion, determine the arbitrability of any alleged Dispute. Any arbitration shall be conducted in Shawnee, Kansas. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no arbitration under this Agreement will be joined to an arbitration involving any other party subject to this Agreement, either through class arbitration proceedings or otherwise. Judgment on an award rendered by an arbitrator may be entered in any state or federal court within or without the State of Kansas. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in lieu of or addition to any other remedies available to Koller, Koller may seek injunctive or other relief in any state, federal, or national court of competent jurisdiction for any actual or alleged infringement of Koller's or any third party's Intellectual Property or proprietary rights, or any issues related to the security of the Smart Tank Services. You hereby irrevocably consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the State and Federal courts of the State of Kansas with respect to any such injunctive or other relief. You further acknowledge that Koller's rights in its Intellectual Property are of a special, unique, extraordinary character, giving those rights peculiar value, the unauthorized use, disclosure, or loss of which cannot be readily estimated and may not be adequately compensated for in monetary damages. Every provision of this Agreement will be construed, to the extent possible, so as to be valid and enforceable. If any provision of this Agreement so construed is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or otherwise unenforceable, such provision will be modified by that court of competent jurisdiction to be valid and enforceable while maintaining as close as possible the intent of the parties as indicated by the wording of this Agreement or, if the provision cannot be so modified, deemed severed from this Agreement, and all other provisions will remain in full force and effect.
b. ENTIRE AGREEMENT/NO WAIVER. This Agreement together with the information referred to or linked to by this Agreement, all of which are incorporated herein, sets forth the entire agreement and understanding between Koller and you regarding the subject matter hereof and supersedes any prior representations, advertisements, statements, proposals, negotiations, discussions, understandings, or agreements regarding the same subject matter. You acknowledge that it has not been induced to enter into this Agreement by any representations or statements, oral or written, not expressly contained in this Agreement. The failure by Koller at any time to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement or any right or remedy available hereunder or at law or in equity, or to exercise any option herein provided, will not constitute a waiver of such provision, right, remedy or option or in any way affect the validity of this Agreement. The waiver of any default by Koller will not be deemed a continuing waiver, but will apply solely to the instance to which such waiver is directed.
c. CORRECTION OF ERRORS AND INACCURACIES. This Agreement may contain typographical errors or other errors or inaccuracies and may not be correct or current. Koller reserves the right to correct any errors, inaccuracies or omissions and to change or update this Agreement at any time without prior notice. Koller does not, however, guarantee that any errors, inaccuracies or omissions will be corrected.
d. HEADINGS. The section headings appearing in this Agreement are inserted only as a matter of convenience and in no way define, limit, construe or describe the scope or extent of such section or in any way affect such section.
e. NO JOINT VENTURE. This Agreement shall not be construed as creating or constituting any partnership, joint venture or agency relationship between the parties.
f. ASSIGNMENT AND RESALE. Koller may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement but your rights under this Agreement are not assignable or transferable except as part of a sale or other transfer of title of the WiFi enabled fish tank product that is associated with the Smart Tank Service, and then conditioned on the acceptance by the transferee of the title to the then-current Agreement. Upon your transfer of title of WiFi enabled fish tank product that is associated with the Smart Tank Service, your rights under this Agreement shall terminate as set forth in Section 7. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
g. FORCE MAJEURE. The parties acknowledge and agree that either party shall be excused from any delay or failure in its performance hereunder caused by any disruption or slow speed of the Internet, break-downs of security or introduction of computer viruses (and the like) by third parties, any labor dispute, government requirement, act of God, or any other cause beyond its reasonable control. The parties shall use reasonable commercial efforts to cure any such failure or delay in performance arising from a force majeure condition, and shall timely advise each other of such efforts.
h. PRIVACY. Information collected about you is generally governed by Koller's Privacy Policy, which can be viewed at www.kollerproducts.com. Koller may use and disclose your information in special instances when Koller has reason to believe disclosing this information is necessary to investigate, identify, contact, or bring legal action against someone who may be causing injury to or interfering with Koller's rights or property, other Smart Tank Service users, or anyone else. Koller may disclose information when subpoenaed, if ordered or otherwise required by a court of law, arbitrator, or other similar proceeding or the rules governing such a proceeding, for government investigations, with government agencies if required by law, to exercise, establish, or defend Koller's rights, to protect your vital interests or those of any other third party, and when Koller otherwise believes in good faith that any applicable law requires it.
