17.2	Each Party may change its address for purposes of this Agreement by written notice to the other Party.

18.	WAIVER AND AMENDMENT

The failure of a Party to assert a right hereunder or to insist upon compliance with any term or condition of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of that right or excuse a similar subsequent failure to perform any such term or condition by the other Party. No waiver shall be effective unless it has been given in writing and signed by the Party giving such waiver. No provision of this Agreement may be amended or modified other than by a written document signed by authorized representatives of each Party.

19.	SEVERABILITY

Without prejudice to any other rights that a Party may have pursuant to this Agreement, every provision of this Agreement is intended to be severable. If any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the other provisions of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect. The Parties hereto agree to consult each other and to agree upon a new stipulation which is permissible under the Law and which comes as close as possible to the original purpose and intent of the invalid, void, or unenforceable provision.

20.	ENTIRE AGREEMENT

This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.

21.	RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES

Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute, create, give effect to, or otherwise recognize a partnership, association, joint venture, or legal entity of any type between Licensor and Licensee, or to constitute one as the agent of the other. Moreover, each Party agrees not to construe this Agreement, or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, as a partnership for any tax purposes. Each Party shall act solely as an independent contractor, and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to give any Party the power or authority to act for, bind, or commit the other.

22.	COUNTERPARTS

This Agreement may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one (1) and the same instrument. This Agreement and any amendments hereto, to the extent signed and delivered by means of electronic reproduction (e.g., portable document format (.pdf), shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effects as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person.

23.	INJUNCTIVE RELIEF

The Parties understand and agree that monetary damages may not be a sufficient remedy for breach of this Agreement and that each Party will be entitled to seek equitable relief, including injunction and specific performance for any such breach.

24.	CUMULATIVE REMEDIES

No remedy referred to in this Agreement is intended to be exclusive, but each shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedy referred to in this Agreement or otherwise available under Law.

25.	FORCE MAJEURE

If and to the extent that either Party is prevented or delayed by Force Majeure from performing any of its obligations under this Agreement and promptly so notifies the other Party in writing, specifying the matters constituting Force Majeure together with such evidence in verification thereof as it can reasonably give and specifying the period for which it is estimated that the prevention or delay will continue, then the Party so affected shall be relieved of liability to the other for failure to perform or for delay in performing such obligations (as the case may be), but shall nevertheless use all efforts to resume full performance thereof.

26.	FURTHER ASSURANCES

Licensee and Licensor hereby covenant and agree without the necessity of any further consideration, to execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all such other documents and take any such other action as may be reasonably necessary to carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement.
