9.6 Arbitration.  The  Parties  agree  to  resolve  all  disputes  arising  under  or  in  connection with  the  Agreement through binding arbitration. A Party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other Party. The Parties will use good faith efforts to resolve the dispute directly, but if the Parties  do  not  reach  an  agreement  to  do  so within  30  days  after  the  notice  is  received,  either  Party  may commence  an  arbitration proceeding.  The  arbitration  will  be  conducted  in  accordance  with  the  applicable rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). The arbitration will be conducted in English in San Francisco,  California,  USA.  If  the  Parties  do  not  agree  on  an  arbitrator,  the  arbitrator  will be  selected  in accordance with the applicable rules of the AAA for the appointment of an arbitrator. The selection of an arbitrator  under  the  rules  of  the  AAA  will  be  final  and binding  on  the  Parties.  The  arbitrator  must  be independent  of  the  Parties.  The arbitrator’s decision  will  be  final  and  binding  on  both  Parties,  and  the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. The costs and expenses of the arbitration will be shared equally  by  both  Parties;  however,  if  the  arbitrator  finds  that  either  the  substance  of  the claim  or  the  relief sought in arbitration is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 96 will not prohibit either Party from: (i) bringing an individual action  in  small  claims  court;  (ii) seeking  injunctive  or  other  equitable  relief  in  a  court  of  competent jurisdiction;  (iii) pursuing  an  enforcement  action  through  the  applicable  federal,  state,  or  local  agency  if that action is available; or (iv) filing suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement or  misappropriation  claim.  If  this  Section  9.6  is  found  to  be  unenforceable, the  Parties  agree  that  the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in Section 9.3 will govern any action arising out of or related to the Agreement.

9.7 Miscellaneous.  This  Agreement  is  the  sole agreement  of  the  Parties  concerning  the subject  matter  hereof, and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings with respect to said subject matter. In the event of a conflict  between  this  TOS  and  any  Order  Form,  the terms  and  conditions  of  the  Order  Form  will  prevail. Customer  may  not  subcontract  or delegate  any  rights  or  obligations  granted  to  it  under  the  Agreement  to any  third  parties, including  its  consultants  or  contractors,  without  the  prior  written  consent  of  Theom. Customer  agrees  that  it  is  solely  responsible  for  any  liability  arising  out  of  its  own  or Authorized  Users’ access  to  and  use  of  the  Subscription  Services  in  violation  of  this Agreement.  No  terms  of  any  purchase order,  acknowledgement,  or  other  form  provided by Customer  in  connection  with  an  Order  Form  will modify  the  Agreement,  regardless  of  any failure  of  Theom  to  object  to  such  terms.  Any  ambiguity  in  the Agreement  shall  be interpreted  without  regard  to  which  Party  drafted  the  Agreement  or any  part  thereof. Nothing contained herein will or is intended to give rise to any rights of any kind to any third parties. The Agreement may only be amended by a writing signed by both Parties. The Agreement may be executed in counterparts. The headings in the Agreement are inserted for convenience and are not intended to affect the interpretation  of  the  Agreement. Any  required notice  shall  be  given  in  writing  by  customary  means  with receipt  confirmed at  the address  of  each  Party  as  set  forth  above,  or  to  such  other  address  as  either Party may substitute  by  written  notice  to  the  other,  or  by  email  by  and  to  an  authorized representative  of  such Party. Notices will be deemed to have been given at the time of actual delivery in person, one (1) day after delivery to an overnight courier service, three (3) days after deposit in certified mail, or immediately upon sending of an email. The relationship between the Parties shall be that of independent contractors. Theom may  use subcontractors  or  otherwise delegate  aspects  of  its  performance  under  the  Agreement; provided that  Theom  shall remain  responsible  hereunder  for  any  such  subcontractor’s performance.  Waiver  of  any term of the Agreement or forbearance to enforce any term by either Party shall not constitute a waiver as to any  subsequent  breach  or  failure  of  the  same term  or  a  waiver  of  any  other term  of  the  Agreement.  Any provision  found  to  be unlawful,  unenforceable  or  void  shall be severed  from  the  remainder  of  the Agreement and  the  remainder  of  the  Agreement  will continue  in  full  force  and  effect  without  said provision.  The  Parties  agree  to  comply  with all  applicable  export  control  laws  and  regulations  related  to their performance of the Agreement.
