    1. Agreement to Arbitrate. The parties agree that any and all disputes or controversies of any nature between them arising at any time shall be determined by binding arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA before a single neutral arbitrator (“Arbitrator”) in the State of California, county of Santa Clara.

The Arbitrator shall determine how all expenses relating to the arbitration shall be paid, including without limitation, the respective expenses of each party, the fees of the arbitrator and the administrative fee of the American Arbitration Association. Any final outcome of such arbitration shall be final and binding as to all matters of substance and procedure, and may be enforced by a petition to any court of competent jurisdiction, for confirmation and enforcement of the award. In addition, either party may seek equitable, non-monetary relief at any time in any court of competent jurisdiction without thereby waiving its right to arbitration of any dispute or controversy. All proceedings shall, to the extent permitted by law, be closed to the public and confidential and all records relating thereto shall be permanently sealed, except as necessary to obtain court confirmation of the arbitration award.
  13. General Provisions.
    1. Assignment.

This Agreement will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

    3. Amendment; Waiver. This Agreement may be amended or supplemented only by a writing that refers explicitly to this Agreement and that is signed on behalf of both parties. No term or provision hereof will be considered waived by either party, and no breach excused by either party, unless such waiver or consent is in writing signed on behalf of the party against whom the waiver is asserted. No consent by either party to, or waiver of, a breach by either party, whether express or implied, will constitute a consent to, waiver of, or excuse of any other, different, or subsequent breach by either party.
    4. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including the applicable Order(s) and all Exhibits to this Agreement, which are hereby incorporated by reference, represents the entire agreement between the parties relating to its subject matter and supersedes all prior representations, discussions, negotiations and agreements, whether written or oral.

Notice not given in writing shall be effective only if acknowledged in writing by a duly authorized representative of the party to whom it was given.
    6. Government Users. This Section shall only apply to the US Government, to any US Government agency, entity, or branch, to any quasi-US Government entity, and to any US Government subcontractor at any tier (collectively, “US Government”) as Licensee. The Licensed Software was created at private expense, is commercial as defined in Federal Acquisition Regulation (“FAR”) 2.101, and are provided with no rights conferred to the US Government except as expressly stated in this Agreement. If the Licensee is the US Government, then, the use, duplication, reproduction, release, modification, disclosure or transfer of the Licensed Software, or any related Efinix intellectual property of any kind, including any documentation, technical data, specifications, and manuals, is restricted by the terms, conditions and restrictions contained in this Agreement or in a license agreement, in accordance with FAR 12.212 for civilian purposes and Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) 227.7202 for military purposes, if applicable, or any related, applicable FAR, DFARS, or US Government agency regulation part, subpart, paragraph, clause or Code of Federal Regulation similarly restricting such use. In any event, under any and all circumstances, the US Government agrees that it shall only have the right to use the Licensed Software in accordance with the terms, conditions, and restrictions contained in this Agreement or as contained in a related license agreement referenced in, or attached to, this Agreement, or referenced in an exhibit to it.

    7. Relationship of Parties. The parties to this Agreement are independent contractors. There is no relationship of agency, partnership, joint venture, employment or franchise between the parties. Neither party has the authority to bind the other or to incur any obligation on its behalf. Licensee will not represent or imply that it is Efinix, an agent of Efinix, or a part of Efinix.
    8. Force Majeure. No liability shall be incurred by either party by reason of non-performance or delay in performance of any obligation (except for non-payment by Licensee) caused by Force Majeure, at least for the duration of the Force Majeure; provided however that the affected party shall notify the other party of the existence thereof and the effect upon its ability to perform its obligations. As used herein, the term “Force Majeure” shall mean and include, without limitation, any act of God, industry wide strikes, explosion, fire, flood, war and other hostilities, acts of terrorism, civil unrest, governmental acts, regulations, or orders, inadequate supply of raw materials, components, labor or energy, or any other circumstance of a similar nature beyond the reasonable control of the affected party.
    9. Severability. If any part of this Agreement is found invalid or unenforceable, such part will be amended to achieve as nearly as possible the same economic effect as the original provision and the remainder of this Agreement will remain in full force.
    10. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
