the Parties relating to the Flock Services and supersedes all prior agreements,
understandings, and representations relating to the Flock Services. No waiver or
modification to the Agreement will be effective or binding unless signed by Customer
and a duly authorized representative of Flock, except as otherwise provided herein.
None of Customer's purchase orders, authorizations or similar documents will alter the
terms of the Agreement or be binding upon Flock, and any such terms are expressly
rejected. Any mutually agreed purchase order is subject to the terms of the Agreement.
Customer agrees that Customer's purchase is neither contingent upon the delivery of
any future functionality or features nor dependent upon any oral or written comments
made by Flock with respect to future functionality or feature.
11.4. Relationship. The Parties intend that nothing contained in the Agreement be
construed to create an agency, partnership, joint venture, employment, or like
relationship between the Parties, and their relationship is and will remain that of
independent Parties to a contractual service relationship. Neither Party will be liable for
the debts or obligations of the other Party.
11.5. Governing Law; Dispute Resolution. The Agreement, and any controversy or
claim arising out of or relating to the Agreement (each, a "Dispute") shall be governed

settled through direct discussions, the Parties agree to endeavor first to settle such
Dispute by mediation administered by the American Arbitration Association under its
12
Commercial Mediation Procedures before resorting to litigation. The Federal District
Court in the State of Washington will be the exclusive venue for any resolution of any
Dispute. If the Federal District Court in the State of Washington does not have subject

property right by Customer, (b) by its receipt grants Flock a royalty free, worldwide,

any interest in or ownership of Flock Property.
11.8. Export. Customer may not remove or export from the United States or expressly
allow the export or re-export of Flock Property or anything related thereto, or any direct

will be governed solely by the terms of the Agreement and will be prohibited except to

11.12. Non -Appropriation. All obligations of the Customer under the Agreement which
require the expenditure of public funds are conditioned on the availability of said funds
appropriated for that purpose. To the extent applicable, if funds are not appropriated for
a future fiscal year, Customer shall have the right to terminate the Agreement for non -
appropriation at the end of the applicable fiscal year upon thirty (30) days' written notice
to Flock. Customer shall remain responsible for all amounts incurred prior to

without limitation."
11.14. Force Majeure.
11.14.1. If a Force Majeure Event prevents a Party from complying with any one or
more obligations under the Agreement, that inability to comply will not constitute

Party's inability to perform those obligations is not due to its failure to (i) take
reasonable measures to protect itself against events or circumstances of the same
type as that Force Majeure Event, or (ii) develop and maintain a reasonable
contingency plan to respond to events or circumstances of the same type as that
Force Majeure Event; and (c) that Party complies with its obligations under Section

reasonable efforts to limit damages to the other Party and to resume its
performance under the Agreement.

Agreement will be for the benefit of or enforceable by any third -party.

or condition of the Agreement or to exercise any right or remedy hereunder will
constitute a waiver.
11.17. Execution. In connection with the Flock Services, a copy of a signed document
sent by PDF or fax will be deemed an original in the hands of the recipient. The
Agreement may be executed in counterparts and exchanged by electronic means, each
of which shall be deemed an original, and both of which together constitute only one
agreement between the Parties.
