Each party acknowledges and agrees that monetary damages may be an inadequate remedy if the other party breaches or threatens to breach any provision of Section 6(a) or Section 10, and that in such circumstances, each party has the right, in addition to any other rights it may have, to seek in any court of competent jurisdiction, temporary, preliminary, and permanent injunctive relief to restrain any breach, threatened breach, or otherwise to specifically enforce such obligations, without any obligation to post any bond or similar security.
    3. Governing Law and Choice of Forum. This Agreement will be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of Illinois without regard to conflict of law provisions. Both parties agree that any claim or dispute between them must be resolved exclusively by a state or federal court located in Cook County, Illinois. Both parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located within Cook County, Illinois for the purpose of litigating all such claims or disputes, and hereby waive all claims of forum non conveniens.
    4. Execution in Counterparts. Any Order Form may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Counterparts may be delivered via electronic mail (including PDF or any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, e.g., www.docusign.com) or other transmission method, and any counterpart so delivered shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes.

With the exception of Customer’s payment obligations, neither party will be responsible for delays or failures in performance resulting from acts of God, acts of civil or military authority, fire, flood, strikes, war, epidemics, pandemics, shortage of power, telecommunications or Internet service interruptions, or other acts or causes reasonably beyond the control of that party. The party experiencing the force majeure event agrees to give the other party notice promptly following the occurrence of a force majeure event, and to use diligent efforts to re-commence performance as promptly as commercially practicable.

    13. Order of Precedence. If there is a conflict or ambiguity between any provision of this Agreement and any Order Form, the provisions of this Agreement will prevail, unless and to the extent that any Order Form expressly provides that any portion of that Order Form will prevail.
    14. Relation of the Parties. The parties agree that each is acting as an independent contractor and under no circumstances will any of the employees of one party be deemed the employees of the other for any purpose. Except as otherwise expressly agreed by the parties, this Agreement will not be construed as authority for either party to act for the other party in any agency or other capacity, or to make commitments of any kind for the account of or on behalf of the other. Nothing in this Agreement will be deemed to constitute a joint venture or partnership between the parties.
    15. Severability. If any court of competent jurisdiction finds any portion of any provision of this Agreement to be unenforceable or contrary to applicable law, the parties agree that the provision will be deemed modified to the least extent necessary to make it enforceable, and all other provisions of this Agreement will remain unaffected.
    16. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Order Form(s), constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all other agreements (express or implied), proposals, negotiations, representations, or communications relating to such subject matter. Both parties acknowledge that they have not been induced to enter this Agreement by any representations or promises not specifically stated in this Agreement.
