3.    CONFIDENTIALITY.

The Receiving Party acknowledges that the unauthorized disclosure or use of Confidential Information in breach of its obligations under this Agreement may cause Disclosing Party irreparable injury for which monetary damages may not be inadequate or difficult to ascertain, and therefore, Disclosing Party will be entitled to seek an injunction and other equitable relief in addition to all other remedies provided by this Agreement or available at law or in equity.

Neither the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act nor the United Nations Convention for the International Sale of Goods will apply to these General Terms.

13.    INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS; THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARIES. The parties are independent contractors.

Any waiver, modification or amendment of any provision of this Agreement will be effective only if in writing and signed by duly authorized representatives of both parties. The failure by either party to enforce any provisions of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of any other right hereunder or of any subsequent enforcement of that or any other provisions. Neither party or its affiliates, subsidiaries, officers, directors, employees, agents, partners and licensors will (except for the obligation to make any payments) be liable for any delay or failure to perform any obligation under this Agreement where the delay or failure results from any cause beyond their reasonable control, including, without limitation, acts of God, labor disputes or other industrial disturbances, electrical, telecommunications, or other utility failures, earthquake, storms or other elements of nature, blockades, embargoes, riots, acts or orders of government, acts of terrorism, or war.
