User may send notices pursuant to this Agreement to contact@aureliuslab.com, and such notices will be deemed received 72 hours after they are sent.
    3. Force Majeure. In no event will either party be liable or responsible to the other party or be deemed to have defaulted under or breached this Agreement, for any failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any term of this Agreement, when and to the extent such failure or delay is caused by any circumstances beyond such party's reasonable control (a "Force Majeure Event"), including acts of God, flood, fire, earthquake or explosion, war, terrorism, invasion, riot or other civil unrest, embargoes or blockades in effect on or after the date of this Agreement, national or regional emergency, strikes, labor stoppages or slowdowns or other industrial disturbances, passage of Law or any action taken by a governmental or public authority, including imposing an embargo, export or import restriction, quota or other restriction or prohibition or any complete or partial government shutdown, or national or regional shortage of adequate power or telecommunications or transportation.

For purposes of the preceding sentence, and without limiting its generality, any merger, consolidation or reorganization involving User (or sale of equity resulting in a change of control of User) will be deemed to be a transfer of rights, obligations or performance under this Agreement for which Provider's prior written consent is required. No delegation or other transfer will relieve User of any of its obligations or performance under this Agreement. Any purported assignment, delegation or transfer in violation of this Section 12.4 is void.

Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.
    6. No Waiver. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, no failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any rights, remedy, power or privilege arising from this Agreement shall operate or be construed as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.
    7. Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction. This Agreement is governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Minnesota without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule that would require or permit the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than those of the State of Minnesota. Any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of or related to this Agreement or the licenses granted hereunder shall be instituted exclusively in the federal courts of the United States or the courts of the State of Minnesota in each case located in the city of Minneapolis and County of Hennepin, and each party unconditionally and irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of, and waives all objections to the laying of venue (including any objection of forum non conveniens) in, such courts in any such suit, action or proceeding. Service of process, summons, notice or other document by mail to such party's address set forth herein shall be effective service of process for any suit, action or other proceeding brought in any such court.

    9. Construction. This Agreement will not be construed in favor of or against either party by reason of authorship.
    10. Entire Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement of the parties and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous writings, negotiations, and discussions with respect to its subject matter.

If there is any conflict between the terms or conditions of this Agreement and any Customer TOS, then the Customer TOS shall control.
    11. Amendment. Provider may amend this Agreement from time to time by posting an amended version at its Website and sending User written notice thereof. Such amendment will be deemed accepted and become effective 30 days after such notice (the "Proposed Amendment Date") unless User first gives Provider written notice of rejection of the amendment. In the event of such rejection, this Agreement will continue under its original provisions, and the amendment will become effective at the start of Customer's next term pursuant to the applicable Customer TOS following the Proposed Amendment Date (unless Provider first terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.1). User's continued use of the Service following the effective date of an amendment will confirm its consent thereto. This Agreement may not be amended in any other way, except through a written agreement by authorized representatives of each party. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 12.11, Provider may revise the Privacy Policy at any time by posting a new version of either at Provider's website, and such new version will become effective on the date it is posted.
