Actian and its licensors harmless from and against
any loss, damage, liability or cost (including
reasonable attorneys’ fees) resulting from any third

third party; (ii) a violation by You of Your
representations and warranties; (iii) a breach by You
or Your authorized users of this Agreement or
violation of applicable law; or (iv) a claim against
the CSV concerning a dispute between You and Us;
provided that Actian promptly notifies You in writing
of any and all such claims. In the event of any loss,
damage, liability or cost for which You are obligated
to indemnify Actian hereunder, You shall have sole
control of the defense and all related settlement
negotiations, and Actian shall reasonably cooperate
with You in the defense and/or settlement thereof at
Your expense; provided that Actian may participate in
such defense using its own counsel, at its own expense.
If We, CSV or either’s affiliates are obligated to
respond to a third-party subpoena or other compulsory
legal order or process resulting from any third-party
claim listed above, You will also reimburse such party
for reasonable attorneys’ fees, as well as such party’s
employees’ and contractors’ time and materials spent
responding to the third party subpoena or other
compulsory legal order or process at such party’s
then-current hourly rates. We may also assume control
of the defense and settlement of the claim at any time.

16. GENERAL. This Agreement is intended for the sole
and exclusive benefit of the parties and is not intended
to benefit any third party. Only the parties to this
Agreement may enforce it. Any action related to this
Agreement shall be governed by California law and
controlling U.S. federal law, and the choice of law
rules of any jurisdiction shall not apply. The
parties agree that the United Nations Convention on
Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall
not apply to this Agreement. The venue for any claims
arising under this Agreement shall be the federal
courts located in the Northern District of California
or the state courts located in Santa Clara County,
California, and the parties agree to submit to the
exclusive jurisdiction of such courts. If any provision
of this Agreement is held by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, then
such provision(s) will be construed, as nearly as
possible, to reflect the intentions of the invalid or
unenforceable provision(s), with all other provisions
remaining in full force and effect. No joint venture,
partnership, employment, or agency relationship exists
between You and Actian as a result of this Agreement or
use of the Services. You may not assign, transfer, or
otherwise delegate any of Your rights, duties, or
obligations under this Agreement in whole or in part
without the prior written consent of Actian. Any
attempt to assign, transfer or otherwise delegate
any of Your rights, duties, or obligations under this
Agreement without the prior written consent of Actian
shall be void. Neither party shall be deemed in default
of this Agreement because of a delay or failure in
performance of its obligation resulting from any cause
beyond its reasonable control (a "Force Majeure"),
provided it gives reasonably prompt notice of the Force
Majeure condition to the other party and uses reasonable
efforts to mitigate the delay or failure. This Agreement
constitutes the complete and exclusive understanding and
agreement between the parties regarding its subject
matter and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous
agreements or understandings, written or oral, relating
to its subject matter. Any additional or different
terms in Your documents (including any terms contained
on ordering documents and purchase orders) shall not
apply and are hereby deemed to be material alterations
and notice of objection to, and rejection of them is
hereby given. No waiver of any provision of this
Agreement will be effective unless it is in writing
and signed by duly authorized representative of the
party against whom the waiver is to be asserted.
The failure by either party to enforce any provision
of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of
future enforcement of that or any other provision.
17. ADDITIONAL TERMS FOR CSVs. “CSV” means a
third-party cloud service vendor which has entered a
contract with Us to provide cloud services to Us on
which the Services are based. For purposes of
Section 13 (“Limitation on Liability”) of the
Agreement, the term “Our suppliers” includes CSVs,
and for purposes of Section 11 (“Indemnity”) of the
Agreement, the term “licensors” includes CSVs.
