10. TERM AND TERMINATION.

  1. Term and Termination.  This term of this Agreement will commence on the Effective Date and will continue in full force and effect, unless earlier terminated in accordance with the Agreement.  Unless otherwise stated in the applicable Order Form, the Order Term will continue in full force and effect for one (1) year (“Initial Order Term”), unless earlier terminated in accordance with the Agreement.  Thereafter, the Order Form will automatically renew for additional terms of one (1) year (each, a “Renewal Order Term” and together, the “Order Term”)), unless either party gives written notice of non-renewal to the other party no later than ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the then-current Initial Order Term or Renewal Order Term. Either party may terminate this Agreement or any Order Form immediately upon notice to the other party if the other party materially breaches this Agreement or the applicable Order Form, and such breach remains uncured more than thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice of such breach.  

  2. Effect of Termination.  Expiration or termination of this Agreement will automatically terminate all active Order Forms, but termination of a single Order Form will not result in termination of this Agreement or any other Orders Form. Upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement or an Order all rights and licenses granted by Reka to Customer under this Agreement or the applicable Order Form will terminate. Either party’s termination of this Agreement is without prejudice to any other remedies it may have at law or in equity, and does not relieve either party of breaches occurring prior to the effective date of termination. Neither party will be liable to the other for damages arising solely as a result of terminating this Agreement in accordance with its terms.

  3. Post-Termination Obligations.  Unless Customer terminates this Agreement for material breach, if this Agreement expires or is terminated: (1) Reka will not refund Customer any Fees paid in advance of such expiration or termination, including pre-paid Fees; and (2) within ten days after such expiration or termination, Customer shall pay Reka all remaining Fees set forth under any terminated Order Forms so that Reka is paid the full amount agreed to at the commencement of such Order Term (as if the Order Term had run its full course). Sections 1, 3, 4, 6.2, 7, 8, 9, 10.2, 10.3 and 11 will survive expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason. 

11. MISCELLANEOUS.

The parties are independent contractors.  Each party must deliver all notices or other communications required or permitted under this Agreement in writing to the other party at the address listed below, by courier, by registered or certified mail (postage prepaid and return receipt requested), or by a nationally recognized express-mail service.  Notice will be effective upon receipt or refusal of delivery.  Customer may not assign this Agreement without the prior written consent of Reka.  Any purported assignment in violation of the foregoing shall be null and void.  This Agreement shall be governed in all respects by California law, excluding any conflict of laws principles that would require the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.  The parties hereby submit to the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in Santa Clara County, California.  If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, such provision will be deemed modified so as to be valid and enforceable to the greatest extent possible under applicable law, and the validity of the remaining provisions hereof shall not be affected thereby.  Customer agrees that it will not assist with or participate in any export or re-export of the Software or associated documentation in violation of applicable U.S. laws or regulations.  No amendment to, or waiver of rights under, this Agreement shall be effective unless in a writing signed by authorized representatives of each party.  This Agreement, including any Order Forms, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties regarding the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements, understandings, and communications, whether written or oral.  This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts (including by DocuSign) which will constitute one document.
