This Agreement may not be released, discharged, changed or modified other than in accordance with its terms except by an instrument in writing signed by a duly authorized representative of each of the parties hereto.
- Remedies. All rights and remedies conferred under this Agreement or by any other instrument or law shall be cumulative and may be exercised singularly or concurrently.
- Choice of Law and Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed under and pursuant to the laws of the State of Arizona, exclusive of the laws relating to conflict of laws.

- No Assignment. You may not assign, sell, convey, sublicense or otherwise transfer the Beta Software, Beta Test Materials, any component thereof or any right or interest therein, this Agreement, or any of Your rights or obligations under this Agreement, to any other party, either voluntarily or involuntarily, directly or indirectly, whether by operation of law or otherwise. For purposes of this Agreement, any merger, consolidation, or direct or indirect change in control of You shall be deemed an assignment. Any assignment in violation of the terms hereof shall be void and of no force or effect.
- Severability. If any term, clause or provision of this Agreement shall be judged invalid for any reason whatsoever by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity shall not affect the validity or operation of any other term, clause or provision and such invalid term, clause or provision shall be deemed to have been modified, to the extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable or, if such term, clause or provision cannot be so modified, it shall be deemed deleted from this Agreement.
- No Waiver. The failure of either party to enforce at any time any of the provisions of this Agreement, or the failure to require at any time performance by the other party of any of the provisions of this Agreement, shall in no way be construed to be a present or future waiver of such provisions, nor in any way affect the right of either party to enforce each and every such provision thereafter. The express waiver by either party of any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any future obligation to comply with such provision, condition or requirement.

- Injunctive Relief. You acknowledge that because of the confidential and proprietary nature of the Beta Software and Beta Test Materials, neither termination of this Agreement, arbitration, nor an action at law would be an adequate remedy for a breach by You of this Agreement. Accordingly, You agree that, in the event of such breach, Arctrieval and its licensors will be irreparably harmed and, in addition to all other remedies which Arctrieval or its licensors may have, Arctrieval and its licensors shall be entitled to relief in equity, including a temporary restraining order, temporary or preliminary injunction, and permanent mandatory or prohibitory injunction to restrain the continuation of any such breach or to compel compliance with the provisions of this Agreement without the necessity of proof of actual damage.
