This Agreement is governed by the law of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. If any provision of this Agreement is held by a tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid, or otherwise unenforceable in any jurisdiction, then to the fullest extent permitted by law (i) the same shall not effect the other provisions of this Agreement, (ii) such provision shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary in the tribunal's opinion to render such provision enforceable, and the rights and obligations of the parties shall be construed and enforced accordingly, preserving to the fullest extent the intent of the parties as set forth herein, and (iii) such finding of invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect the validity, legality, or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Disclaimers of Warranties in Section 11 and the Limitations of Liability in Section 12 are considered by the parties to be integral to this Agreement and shall not be modified or severed from this Agreement. Sylogent's failure to act with respect to a breach by you or others does not waive Sylogent's right to act with respect to subsequent or similar breaches. No waiver of any term of this Agreement will be valid unless in writing and acknowledged in writing by both parties. This Agreement contains the entire understanding between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous representations, discussions, negotiations, letters, proposals, agreements, and understandings between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, whether written or oral.
