22. FINAL PROVISIONS
22.1. This Agreement and the Order Form constitute the entire agreement between the parties, and
supersede all license terms included in any prior agreements between You and IDEA StatiCa pertaining to current or prior versions of the Software and all other communications relating to the subject matter of this Agreement. Any terms or conditions in any such prior agreements, currently in force and effect, which are inconsistent with the terms or conditions of this Agreement, are hereby specifically agreed to be modified and conformed to this Agreement.
22.2. If any provision of this Agreement shall be found by any court or administrative body of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect any other provisions of this Agreement and all provisions not affected by such invalidity or unenforceability shall remain in full force and effect. In addition, if any provision of this Agreement, for any reason, is declared to be invalid or unenforceable, the Parties shall substitute a valid and enforceable provision that, to the maximum extent possible in accordance with applicable law, preserves the original intentions of the Parties.
22.3. Unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing, all notices, requests, consents, claims, demands, waivers, and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given: (i) when delivered by hand (with written confirmation of receipt); (ii) when received by the addressee if sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier (receipt requested); (iii) on the date sent by email (with confirmation of transmission) if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, and on the next business day if sent after normal business hours of the recipient; or (iv) on the third (3.) day after the date mailed, by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid. Under this Agreement, notices to Customer must be sent to the email address associated with Customer’s account and notices to IDEA StatiCa must be sent to [email protected].
22.4. You shall not assign or otherwise transfer any of Your rights, or delegate or otherwise transfer any of Your obligations or performance, under this Agreement, in each case whether voluntarily, and You shall ensure that such transfer does not occur involuntarily, by operation of law, or otherwise, without IDEA StatiCa's prior written consent, which consent IDEA StatiCa may give or withhold in its sole discretion. For purposes of the preceding sentence, and without limiting its generality, any merger, consolidation, or reorganization involving You (regardless of whether You are a surviving or disappearing entity) will be deemed to be a transfer of rights, obligations, or performance under this Agreement for which IDEA StatiCa's prior written consent is required. No delegation or other transfer will relieve You of any of Your obligations or performance under this Agreement. Any purported assignment, delegation, or transfer in violation of this Section 24.4 is void. IDEA StatiCa and/or the Authorized Distributor may freely assign or otherwise transfer all or any of its rights, or delegate or otherwise transfer all or any of its obligations or performance, under this Agreement without Your consent. This Agreement is binding upon and inures to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns.
22.5. Unless expressly stated or agreed otherwise, this Agreement is for the sole benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein is intended to or shall confer on any other Person any legal or equitable right, benefit, or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.
22.6. The Parties agree that a breach of Section 4 (Restrictions) or 16 (Confidentiality), or the scope of any of the licenses granted hereunder, may result in irreparable and continuing damage to the non-breaching Party for which there may be no adequate remedy at law, and such Party is therefore entitled to seek injunctive relief and specific performance as well as such other relief as may be appropriate.
This version of the Software License Agreement is valid since January 01, 2026.
