The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to this Agreement. The laws of the jurisdiction where Subscriber is located may be different from Singapore law.

    3. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is, for any reason, held to be invalid or unenforceable, the other provisions of this Agreement will remain enforceable and the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed modified so that it is valid and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Subscriber agrees that the section titled Limitation of Liability will remain in effect notwithstanding the unenforceability of any provision in the subsection titled Limited Warranty.

    4. Waiver. Any waiver or failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement on one occasion will not be deemed a waiver of any other provision or of such provision on any other occasion.

    5. Remedies. Iota Medtech’s rights and remedies under this Agreement are cumulative. Subscriber acknowledges that the Services, Software, and Documentation contain valuable trade secrets and proprietary information of Iota Medtech, that any actual or threatened breach of the sections titled Intellectual Property or Confidentiality or any other breach by Subscriber of its obligations with respect to Intellectual Property Rights of Iota Medtech will constitute immediate, irreparable harm to Iota Medtech for which monetary damages would be an inadequate remedy. In such case, Iota Medtech will be entitled to immediate injunctive relief without the requirement of posting bond, including an order that any Software, Documentation, or any portions thereof, that Subscriber attempts to import into any country or territory be seized, impounded and destroyed by customs officials.

Iota Medtech may freely assign this Agreement or delegate its obligations hereunder, in whole or in part, to any third party provided that such third party agrees to be bound by the terms hereof. The terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

    7. Force Majeure. Any delay in the performance of any duties or obligations of either party (except the payment of money owed) will not be considered a breach of this Agreement if such delay is caused by a labor dispute, shortage of materials, fire, earthquake, flood, or any other event beyond the control of such party, provided that such party uses reasonable efforts, under the circumstances, to notify the other party of the cause of such delay and to resume performance as soon as possible.

    8. Independent Contractors. Subscriber’s relationship to Iota Medtech is that of an independent contractor, and neither party is an agent, employee, or partner of the other. Subscriber will not have, and will not represent to any third party that it has, any authority to act on behalf of Iota Medtech.

    9. Notices. 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 on the first page of the Agreement by courier, by certified or registered 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. If delivered by certified or registered mail, any such notice will be considered to have been given five (5) business days after it was mailed, as evidenced by the postmark. If delivered by courier or express mail service, any such notice shall be considered to have been given on the delivery date reflected by the courier or express mail service receipt. Each party may change its address for receipt of notice by giving notice of such change to the other party.

    10. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall be taken together and deemed to be one instrument.

This Agreement is the final, complete and exclusive agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matters hereof and supersedes and merges all prior discussions between the parties with respect to such subject matters. No modification of or amendment to this Agreement, or any waiver of any rights under this Agreement, will be effective unless in writing and signed by an authorized signatory of Subscriber and the Iota Medtech. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if Subscriber has previously submitted a purchase order to Iota Medtech regarding the Services, then Subscriber expressly agrees that any terms and conditions in such purchase order, that are additional to or different from the terms and conditions of this Agreement, are superseded by the terms and conditions of this Agreement, are expressly excluded from this Agreement, and shall not, in any manner whatsoever, apply to this Agreement, notwithstanding any language in such purchase order that would purport to supersede any terms and conditions of this Agreement.
