11. MISCELLANEOUS

11.1. Disputes and Arbitration. The Parties agree that any dispute arising in connection with the interpretation of this Agreement, the performance of either Party under this Agreement, or otherwise relating to this Agreement will be treated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section, prior to the resort by either Party to arbitration or litigation in connection with such dispute. Such procedure will be invoked by either Party presenting to the other a Notice of Request for Resolution of Dispute (a "Notice") identifying the issues in dispute sought to be addressed hereunder. A telephone or personal conference of the executives representing each party will be held within ten (10) business days after the delivery of the Notice. In the event that the telephone or personal conference between these executives does not take place or does not resolve the dispute, either Party may refer the dispute to binding arbitration pursuant to the arbitration provisions set forth below.

All claims or disputes between the Parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement will be decided by arbitration pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association currently in effect and in accordance with Title 9 of the United States Code, unless the Parties mutually agree otherwise in writing. Notice of the demand for arbitration must be filed, in writing, with the other Party and must be made within a reasonable time after the dispute has arisen. All statutes of limitation, which would otherwise be applicable in a judicial action brought by a Party, will apply to any arbitration or reference proceeding hereunder. The arbitration will be decided by a panel of three (3) arbitrators selected under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. Arbitration will be initiated in San Francisco, California. Said arbitration will occur within thirty (30) consecutive days after the Party demanding arbitration delivers the written demand on the other Party, unless the Parties mutually agree otherwise in writing. The award rendered by the arbitrators will be final, and judgment may be entered upon it in accordance with applicable law in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Except by written consent of the Parties, no arbitration arising out of or relating to this Agreement may include, by consolidation, joinder or in any other manner, any person or entity not a party to the Agreement under which such arbitration arises. The arbitration agreement herein among the Parties will be specifically enforceable under applicable law in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Neither Party will appeal such award nor seek review, modification, or vacation of such award in any court or regulatory agency.

The arbitrators will award to the prevailing Party, if any, as determined by the arbitrators, all of its Costs and Fees. "Costs and Fees" mean all reasonable pre-award expenses of the arbitration, including the arbitrators' fees, administrative fees, travel expenses, out-of-pocket expenses (such as copying and telephone), court costs, witness fees, and attorneys' fees.

11.2. Governing Law and Jurisdiction. Where the arbitration provisions of this Agreement are inapplicable, this Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without reference to conflict of laws principles. The Parties agree that any legal action brought under or in conjunction with this Agreement will be brought in a federal or state court of appropriate jurisdiction in the State of California and venue will be proper in that court.

11.3. Amendment; No Waiver. This Agreement may not be amended except in a writing executed by authorized representatives of Civic and Customer. No delay in exercising any right or remedy or failure to object will be a waiver of such right or remedy or any other right or remedy. A waiver on one occasion will not be a waiver of any right or remedy on any future occasion.

11.4. Force Majeure. Except for payment obligations of amounts due under this Agreement, neither party will be responsible for failure or delay of performance if caused by: an act of war, hostility, or sabotage; act of God; electrical, internet, or telecommunication outage that is not caused by the obligated party; government restrictions; pandemic; or other event outside the reasonable control of the obligated party. Each party will use reasonable efforts to mitigate the effect of a force majeure event.

11.5. Actions Permitted. Except for actions for nonpayment or breach of a party’s proprietary rights, no action, regardless of form, arising out of or relating to this Agreement may be brought by either party more than one (1) year after the cause of action has accrued.

11.6. Relationship of the Parties. You and we agree that no joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship exists between us.

11.7. Compliance with Laws. We will comply with all U.S. state and federal laws (where applicable) in our provision of the Service. We reserve the right at all times to disclose any information as necessary to satisfy any law, regulation, legal process or governmental request. 

You will not directly or indirectly export, re-export, or transfer the Service to prohibited countries or individuals or permit use of the Service by prohibited countries or individuals.

11.8. Severability. If any part of this Agreement or an Order Form is determined to be invalid or unenforceable by applicable law, then the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed superseded by a valid, enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision and the remainder of this Agreement will continue in effect.

11.9. Notices. To Civic: Notice will be sent to the contact address set forth below, and will be deemed delivered as of the date of actual receipt.
