General

Washington shall be the exclusive venue for resolution of any dispute under
this Agreement. The Licensee consents to the jurisdiction
of the Washington courts set out above and to any form of service (including by

English is the governing language of this Agreement and all communications
hereunder. This Agreement may be translated into another language for the
convenience of a party, however, in the event of any conflict, the English
language version shall control.
c.
The failure of either party to insist upon strict
performance of any of the terms and conditions in this Agreement, or to exercise any rights or remedies, shall not be
construed as a waiver of its rights to assert any of the same or to rely on any
such terms and conditions at any time thereafter.

The invalidity in whole or in part of any term or condition
of this Agreement shall not affect
the validity of other parts hereof.
e.

regulations. Licensee agrees to
cooperate fully with any official or unofficial audit or inspection that
relates to export controls. The Software

provision of this Agreement, Licensee's breach of the provisions of
Section 3 of this Agreement or
breach or infringement of the Intellectual

that VoteHere will therefore be
entitled to seek timely injunctive relief to protect VoteHere’s rights under this Agreement
in addition to any and all remedies available at law.

assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, without the prior written
