    9. Notices. All notices, requests, and other communications hereunder have binding legal effect only if in writing and addressed to a party at the contact information specified in the applicable Subscription Order Form. Notices sent in compliance with this section will be deemed effectively given (i) when received, if sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier, or (ii) when sent, if by email, in each case with confirmation of transmission.
    10. Equitable Relief. Each party acknowledges and agrees that a breach of such party’s obligations under Section 8 (Confidentiality) would cause the other party irreparable harm for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy and agrees that, in the event of such breach, the other party will be entitled to seek equitable relief that may be available from any court, without any requirement to post a bond or security. Such remedies are not exclusive and are in addition to all other remedies that may be available at law, in equity or otherwise.
    11. Publicity and Feedback. Customer agrees Virtuous may use Customer’s name, logo and profile for marketing programs, including, but not limited to, collateral, advertising and website references, provided that Customer may revoke such authorization at any time in writing to Virtuous. To the extent Customer responds to Virtuous’ reasonable requests for feedback and case studies related to use of the Services, then Customer grants Virtuous an irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive, royalty free license to use, exploit, and make derivative works from such feedback and information for any lawful purpose.
    12. Conflicts. If any provision of a Subscription Order Form conflicts with any provision in these Terms and Conditions, the provisions of the Subscription Order Form shall take precedence.
    13. Entire Agreement. The Subscription Order Form(s) executed by the parties, these Terms and Conditions and the Virtuous Service Level Agreement (both available at www.virtuous.org/legal), together with all schedules and addenda hereto or incorporated by reference constitute the entire Agreement between the parties and supersedes all prior proposals or representations, contracts or agreements, whether written or oral, regarding the Services. Notwithstanding any prior agreements, these Terms and Conditions and the Service Level Agreement shall supersede and replace in their entirety all prior versions of the Terms and Conditions referenced in a Subscription Order Form between the parties subject to Section 12(B) above. No additional terms, modifications, edits (whether hand-marked or set forth in an addendum or PO) will be valid or accepted or form part of this Agreement unless accepted in writing by both parties hereto.
    14. Attorneys’ Fees. To the extent not precluded by applicable state law, in the event that any action, suit, or other legal or administrative proceeding is instituted or commenced by either party hereto against the other party arising out of or related to this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs from the non-prevailing party.
    15. Waiver of Jury Trial. TO THE EXTENT NOT PRECLUDED BY APPLICABLE STATE LAW, EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY PROCEEDING (WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION OR AGREEMENT CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THE ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY HERETO IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE, OR ENFORCEMENT HEREOF.

    16. No delay or failure by either party to exercise any right or remedy under the Agreement will constitute a waiver of such right or remedy. All waivers must be in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the party waiving its rights. A waiver by any party of any breach or covenant shall not be construed as a waiver of any succeeding breach of any other covenant.
    17. Both parties acknowledge and agree that the Agreement will not be construed more strictly against either party as a result of its participation in preparation of the Agreement. Each party acknowledges and represents that, in executing the Agreement, it has had the opportunity to seek advice from legal counsel and that the person signing on its behalf has read and understood all of the terms and provisions of the Agreement.
