  2. Updates, Enhancements.  Elucidata may, in its sole discretion, issue updates, bug fixes or other changes to the Subscription Services (each an “Update”) to the extent such Update does not materially impair Customer’s use of the Subscription Services.  Elucidata will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify Customer of an Update that may materially impair Customer’s use of the Subscription Services.  In the event Customer desires for Elucidata to develop customizations or enhancements of the Subscription Services (each an “Enhancement”), Elucidata will provide such Enhancement to Customer and Customer will pay the fees for such Enhancement as specified on an Order Form.

  • WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY THAT MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING ANY ORDER FORMS, IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES AND, THEREFORE, EACH SUCH PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LEGAL ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING ANY EXHIBITS, SCHEDULES, ATTACHMENTS OR APPENDICES ATTACHED TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.  
  • Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which is deemed an original, but all of which together are deemed to be one and the same agreement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Agreement, a signed copy of this Agreement delivered by facsimile, email, or other means of electronic transmission is deemed to have the same legal effect as delivery of an original signed copy of this Agreement.  
  • Force Majeure.  Elucidata shall not be liable or responsible to Customer, nor be deemed to have defaulted 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 or results from acts or circumstances beyond the reasonable control of Elucidata including, without limitation, acts of God, flood, fire, earthquake, explosion, governmental actions, war, invasion or hostilities (whether war is declared or not), terrorist threats or acts, riot, or other civil unrest, national emergency, revolution, insurrection, epidemic, lock-outs, strikes or other labor disputes (whether or not relating to either party’s workforce), or restraints or delays affecting carriers or inability or delay in obtaining supplies of adequate or suitable materials, materials or telecommunication breakdown or power outage, provided that, if the event in question continues for a continuous period in excess of sixty (60) days, Customer shall be entitled to give notice in writing to Elucidata to terminate this Agreement.
