Subject to this Agreement and payment of all applicable license fees, Digifi grants you a nonexclusive nontransferable personal limited license to use the software for which valid control codes have been issued by Digifi identified in: (i) the written or electronic order document form or invoice provided or accepted by Digifi (each an Order); or (ii) the installation procedure (a Product) solely for your internal business purposes. Any Product update patch and/or new release (each an Update) replaces part or all of a Product or Update previously released and terminates the license to such previously licensed Product or Update to the extent replaced by the Update.

12. Miscellaneous
12.1 Authorization
Each party represents and warrants that the person executing this Agreement on behalf of such party, or clicking I agree in the case of a Product trial or online marketplace subscription, is authorized to enter into this Agreement on behalf of such party.
12.2 Governing Law and Venue
This License will be governed by the laws of the State of Minnesota, USA without regard to its choice of law rules. The provisions of the U.N. Convention for the International Sale of Goods and the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act, in whatever form adopted, will not apply and the parties specifically opt out of the application of such laws. In the event of any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the parties shall seek to settle the dispute via direct discussions. If a dispute cannot be settled through direct discussions, the parties agree to first endeavor to settle the dispute via voluntary nonbinding mediation, before resorting to arbitration. A mediator will be selected by voluntary agreement of both parties, or in the event both parties cannot agree on a mediator, a mediator will be selected in accordance with the rules of JAMS. The mediation shall be held in St. Paul, Minnesota. Each party shall bear its own costs and expenses and an equal share of the administrative and other fees associated with the mediation. Any dispute that remains unresolved following mediation shall be settled by arbitration administered by the JAMS in accordance with its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules. The place of arbitration shall be St. Paul, Minnesota. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrator(s) shall award to the prevailing party, if any, as determined by the arbitrator(s), all of its costs and fees. “Costs and fees” mean all reasonable preaward expenses of the arbitration, including the arbitrators’ fees, administrative fees, travel expenses, outofpocket expenses such as copying and telephone, court costs, witness fees, and attorneys’ fees. In rendering the award, the arbitrator(s) shall determine the rights and obligations of the parties according to the substantive and procedural laws of the State of Minnesota. The foregoing alternative dispute resolution provisions will not apply to claims or actions related to the infringement, misappropriation or violation of Digifi’s intellectual property rights or those of its third party licensors and such actions may be brought in any court of competent jurisdiction. Any provisions found to be unenforceable will not affect the enforceability of the other provisions contained herein, but will instead be replaced with a provision as similar in meaning to the original as possible. This License constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with regard to its subject matter. No modification will be binding unless in writing and signed by the parties.
12.3 Force Majeure
Neither party shall be liable to the other for its failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement, except for payment obligations, during any period in which such performance is delayed or rendered impracticable or impossible due to unforeseen circumstances beyond its reasonable control.
