1. is now generally known or available or which hereafter through no act or failure on the part of the receiving party becomes generally known or available;
2. is legally known to the receiving party at the time of receiving such information;
3. is hereafter furnished to the receiving party by a third party without restriction on disclosure, where such third party legally obtained such information and the right to disclose it to the receiving party; or

Except as may be required by applicable law, neither Party shall disclose to any third party the contents of this Agreement, or any amendments hereto without the prior written consent of the other Party.

Upon the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event, the non-performing party shall be excused from any further performance of those of its obligations pursuant to this Agreement affected by the Force Majeure Event only for so long as such Force Majeure Event continues, and such party continues to use commercially reasonable efforts to recommence performance whenever and to whatever extent possible without delay.

A party who becomes aware of a Force Majeure Event, which gives rise to, or which is likely to give rise to, any failure or delay in performing its obligations under the Agreement, will forthwith notify the other party; and will inform the other party of the period for which it is estimated that such failure or delay will continue.

The laws of the State of Delaware, excluding its conflict of laws provisions, shall govern this Agreement. State and Federal Courts in Delaware shall have exclusive jurisdiction under this Agreement. In the event either party hereto institutes an action or other proceeding to enforce any rights arising under this Agreement, the party prevailing in such action or proceeding shall be paid all reasonable costs and attorney’s fees by the other party. In the event that the parties are domiciled in different countries, the following terms shall apply. Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this contract, or the breach thereof, shall be determined by arbitration administered by the International Centre for Dispute Resolution (“ICDR”) in accordance with its International Arbitration Rules and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator shall be binding and may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The place of arbitration shall be the city in the country closest in location to Vidyo’s legal entity executing this Agreement. The arbitration shall be conducted in English by one arbitrator mutually acceptable to the parties and selected in accordance with the ICDR International Arbitration Rules. The arbitrator shall not have the power to award any punitive damages or any damages excluded by this Agreement.

During the term of this Agreement and for a period of one (1) year following its termination, each party agrees that it will not, without the written permission of the other party, directly or indirectly, solicit, hire or otherwise engage the services of any person who is an employee of or is otherwise being utilized as a consultant or contractor by the other party. The foregoing will not prohibit general solicitations for employment not specifically directed towards employees of the other party.

If a court of competent jurisdiction holds any provision in this Agreement to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will nevertheless continue in full force without being impaired or invalidated in any way, and a court of competent jurisdiction is authorized to modify the affected provision to preserve the parties’ intended benefits to the fullest extent permitted by law. Either party’s failure, at any time, to require the other party’s performance of any provision of this Agreement shall in no way affect that party’s right to enforce such provision, nor shall either party’s waiver of any breach of any provision of this Agreement be taken or held to be a waiver of any further breach of the same provision or any other provision.

Vidyo shall perform activities under this Agreement only as an independent contractor and nothing contained herein shall be construed to be inconsistent with this relationship or status. Under no circumstances shall any personnel of Vidyo be considered to be an employee or agent of Customer.  Nothing in this Agreement shall be interpreted as granting either Party the right or authority to make commitments of any kind for the other, implied or otherwise, without prior review and written agreement.  This Agreement shall not constitute, create, or in any way be interpreted as a joint venture, partnership or formal business organization of any kind.

The agreement, exhibits, any attachments, or Order Form (collectively referred to as “documents”) contain the base terms that govern the relationship between the parties. Any discrepancies, conflict or errors between various provisions of the documents shall be resolved by giving precedence in the following order: (i) any signed amendment; (ii) the terms and conditions in this SaaS Agreement; (iii) Exhibit A; (iv) any other Exhibit attached to the agreement; (v) the applicable Order Form; and (vi) any other attachment.

This Agreement and any relevant Order Form contain and constitute the entire understanding and agreement between the parties in connection with and about the subject matter of this Agreement and supersede all earlier and other agreements and understandings between them and all earlier representations by any party about such subject matter. Any representations, warranties, statements and assurances which are not expressly set out in this Agreement will not be of any effect. Each party warrants that there is no representation, warranty, promise, term, condition, obligation or statement upon which they have relied in entering into this Agreement. If a party has given any representation, warranty, promise or statement then (except to the extent that it has been set out in this Agreement) the party to whom it is given waives any rights or remedies which it may have in respect of it. This section shall not exclude the liability of a party for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation or concealment or any resulting right to rescind this Agreement.
