Upon any termination of the Agreement or the Subscription Services, (a) Customer will discontinue all use of the terminated Subscription Services, the Service Documentation, and any Elastio Confidential Information as of the effective date of termination; (b) each Party will delete any of the other Party’s Confidential Information from computer storage or any other media including, but not limited to, online and off-line libraries; (c) each Party will return to the other Party or, at the other Party’s option, destroy, all copies of any Confidential Information then in its possession; and (d) Customer promptly will pay to Elastio all amounts due to Elastio for the terminated Subscription Services. CUSTOMER WILL NOT BE ENTITLED TO ANY REFUND OF ANY PRE-PAID AMOUNTS UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED IN THE AGREEMENT. The effective date of termination is when all Customer Content has been removed from the Subscription Services and the Subscription Services are deactivated.
   5. Removal of Customer Content. No later than thirty (30) days following the termination of the Agreement, Customer will deactivate Customer’s account with Elastio and remove all Customer Content. After such thirty (30) day period, Elastio has the right, but not the obligation, to delete any and all Customer Content from its systems and deactivate Customer’s account. If this Agreement is terminated by Elastio, Elastio has the right to suspend Customer’s use of the Subscription Services immediately.
   6. Survival. Those provisions of the Agreement that by their nature or their terms survive termination or expiration of the Agreement will so survive including but not limited to Sections 2.3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9.4, 9.5, 9.6, 10 and 11.
10. DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION; CLASS ACTION WAIVER
    1. Please read this Provision (this “Provision”) carefully. It affects Customer’s rights. It provides that all Disputes between Customer and Elastio will be resolved by binding arbitration. . Arbitration is a form of private dispute resolution in which persons with a dispute waive their rights to file a lawsuit, to proceed in court and to a jury trial, and instead submit their disputes to a neutral third person (or arbitrator) for a binding decision. If Customer is entering into this Agreement in Customer’s capacity as an individual customer of Elastio and not as a corporate user, Customer has the right to opt-out of this Provision (as explained below), which means Customer would retain Customer’s right to litigate Customer’s Disputes in a court, either before a judge or jury.Arbitration replaces the right to go to court. In the absence of this arbitration agreement, Customer may otherwise have a right or opportunity to bring claims in a court, before a judge or jury, and/or to participate in or be represented in a case filed in court by others (including, but not limited to, class actions). Except as otherwise provided, entering into this Agreement constitutes a waiver of Customer’s right to litigate claims and all opportunity to be heard by a judge or jury. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. The arbitrator must follow this Agreement and can award the same damages and relief as a court (including attorney’s fees).For the purpose of this Provision, the term “Dispute” means any dispute, claim, or controversy between Customer and Elastio regarding, arising out of or relating to any aspect of Customer’s relationship with Elastio, whether based in contract, statute, regulation, ordinance, tort (including, but not limited to, fraud, misrepresentation, fraudulent inducement, or negligence), or any other legal or equitable cause of action or claim for relief, and includes the validity, enforceability or scope of this Provision (with the exception of the enforceability of the Class Action Waiver clause below). “Dispute” is to be given the broadest possible meaning that will be enforced, and will include any claims against other parties relating to services or products provided or billed to Customer in connection with Customer’s subscription (such as Elastio’s licensors, suppliers, dealers or third-party vendors) whenever Customer also asserts claims against Elastio in the same proceeding.THE PARTIES EACH AGREE THAT, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED BELOW, ANY AND ALL DISPUTES, AS DEFINED ABOVE, WHETHER PRESENTLY IN EXISTENCE OR BASED ON ACTS OR OMISSIONS IN THE PAST OR IN THE FUTURE, WILL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY AND FINALLY BY BINDING ARBITRATION RATHER THAN IN COURT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS PROVISION.
    2. Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution. For all Disputes, whether pursued in court or arbitration, Customer must first give Elastio an opportunity to resolve the Dispute. Customer must commence this process by mailing written notification to Elastio at 11921 Freedom Drive, Two Fountain Square, Suite 550, Reston, VA 20190, USA, Attention: Legal. That written notification must include (1) Customer’s name, (2) Customer’s address, (3) a written description of Customer’s claim, and (4) a description of the specific relief Customer seeks. If Elastio does not resolve the Dispute within 45 days after it receives Customer’s written notification, Customer may pursue Customer’s Dispute in arbitration. If Customer is entering into this Agreement in Customer’s capacity as an individual customer of Elastio and not as a corporate user, Customer may pursue Customer’s Dispute in a court only under the circumstances described below.
    3. Exclusions from Arbitration/Right to Opt Out. Notwithstanding the above, Customer or Elastio may choose to pursue a Dispute in court and not by arbitration if (a) the Dispute qualifies, it may be initiated in small claims court; or (b) CUSTOMER OPTS-OUT OF THESE ARBITRATION PROCEDURES WITHIN 30 DAYS FROM THE DATE THAT CUSTOMER FIRST CONSENTS TO THIS AGREEMENT (the “Opt-Out Deadline”). Customer may opt out of this Provision by mailing written notification to Elastio at 11921 Freedom Drive, Two Fountain Square, Suite 550, Reston, VA 20190, USA, Attention: Legal. That written notification must include (1) Customer’s name, (2) Customer’s address, and (3) a clear statement that Customer does not wish to resolve disputes with Elastio through arbitration. Customer’s decision to opt-out of this Provision will have no adverse effect on Customer’s relationship with Elastio. Any opt-out request received after the Opt-Out Deadline will not be valid and Customer must pursue Customer’s Dispute in arbitration or small claims court. Customer’s rights under this Section 10.3 only apply if Customer is entering into this Agreement in Customer’s capacity as an individual customer of Elastio and not as a corporate user.
    4. Arbitration Procedures.(a) If this Provision applies and the Dispute is not resolved as provided above (Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution) either Customer or Elastio may initiate arbitration proceedings. The American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), www.adr.org, or JAMS, www.jamsadr.com, will arbitrate all Disputes, and the arbitration will be conducted before a single arbitrator. The arbitration will be commenced as an individual arbitration only and will in no event be commenced as a class arbitration or a consolidated or representative action or arbitration. All issues will be for the arbitrator to decide, including the scope of this Provision.(b) For arbitration before AAA, for Disputes of less than $75,000, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes will apply; for Disputes involving $75,000 or more, the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules will apply. In either instance, the AAA’s Optional Rules For Emergency Measures Of Protection will apply. The AAA rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. For arbitration before JAMS, the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules & Procedures and the JAMS Recommended Arbitration Discovery Protocols For Domestic, Commercial Cases will apply. The JAMS rules are available at www.jamsadr.com or by calling 1-800-352-5267. This Provision governs in the event it conflicts with the applicable arbitration rules. Under no circumstances will class action or representative action procedures or rules apply to the arbitration.(c) Because the Services and this Agreement concern interstate commerce, the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) governs the arbitrability of all Disputes. However, the arbitrator will apply applicable substantive law consistent with the FAA and the applicable statute of limitations or condition precedent to suit.
    5. Arbitration Award. The arbitrator may award on an individual basis any relief that would be available pursuant to applicable law, and will not have the power to award relief to, against or for the benefit of any person who is not a party to the proceeding. The arbitrator will make any award in writing but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by a Party or if required by applicable law. Such award will be final and binding on the Parties, except for any right of appeal provided by the FAA or other applicable law, and may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the Parties for purposes of enforcement.
    6. Location of Arbitration.
       • If Customer is entering into this Agreement in Customer’s capacity as an individual, the following applies:
         • If Customer is a U.S. citizen or otherwise using the Subscription Services from or within the United States or have provided a billing address in the United States, Customer or Elastio may initiate arbitration in either Customer’s U.S. location or the federal judicial district that includes Customer’s billing address.
         • If the above does not apply to Customer, then Customer agrees that (a) Elastio may initiate arbitration or other proceedings in (i) the United States in accordance with Section 11.9 and Customer agrees to the exclusive venue therein and/or (ii) the jurisdiction in which Customer resides and (b) to the extent permitted by applicable law, Customer agrees to initiate arbitration or other proceedings in accordance with Section 11.9 or if not permitted, then in the jurisdiction where Customer resides; provided, however, nothing herein shall be deemed to constitute consent by Elastio to the jurisdiction of any court or other forum of any country for the purpose of resolving any Dispute hereunder (other than the courts referenced in Section 11.9).
       • If Customer is entering into this Agreement on behalf of a corporate entity, then Customer and Elastio agree to initiate arbitration or other proceedings exclusively in accordance with Section 11.9.
    7. Payment of Arbitration Fees and Costs. If Customer is entering into this Agreement in Customer’s capacity as an individual customer of Elastio and not as a corporate user, Elastio will pay all arbitration filing fees and AAA or JAMS hearing fees and any arbitrator’s hearing fees, costs and expenses upon Customer’s written request to the arbitrator given at or before the first evidentiary hearing in the arbitration. Customer is responsible for all additional fees and costs that Customer incurs in the arbitration, including, but not limited to, attorneys or expert witnesses. Fees and costs may be awarded as provided pursuant to applicable law. In addition to any rights to recover fees and costs under applicable law, if Customer provides notice and negotiate in good faith with Elastio as provided in Section 10.2 above and the arbitrator concludes that Customer is the prevailing party in the arbitration, Customer will be entitled to recover reasonable attorney’s fees and costs as determined by the arbitrator.
    8. Class Action Waiver. This Section 10.8 only applies to Customer if Customer is entering into this Agreement in Customer’s capacity as an individual customer of Elastio and not as a corporate user. Except as otherwise provided in this Provision, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a class or representative proceeding or claims (such as a class action, consolidated action, representative action, or private attorney general action) unless both Customer and Elastio specifically agree to do so in writing following initiation of the arbitration. If Customer chooses to pursue Customer’s Dispute in court by opting out of the Arbitration Provision, as specified above, this Class Action Waiver will not apply to Customer. Neither Customer, nor any other user of the Subscription Platform can be a class representative, class member, or otherwise participate in a class, consolidated, or representative proceeding without having complied with the opt-out requirements above.
    9. Survival. This Provision will survive the expiration or termination of Customer’s subscription or this Agreement for any reason.
11. MISCELLANEOUS
    1. Independent Contractors. In making and performing the Agreement, Customer and Elastio act and will act at all times as independent contractors, and, except as expressly set forth herein, nothing contained in the Agreement will be construed or implied to create an agency, partnership or employer and employee relationship between them. Except as expressly set forth herein, at no time will either Party make commitments or incur any charges or expenses for, or in the name of, the other Party.
    2. Notices. All notices to be given in connection with the Agreement will be given in writing in English and will be effective upon delivery. Notices will be delivered through the Elastio Tenant Console unless other contact information is provided in the Agreement.
    3. Amendments; Modifications. The Agreement may be amended or modified by Elastio from time to time and notice of such amendment or modification will be given electronically through the Elastio Tenant Console. Customer may not amend or modify this Agreement without the prior written consent of Elastio.
    4. Assignment; Delegation. Neither Party will assign any of its rights or delegate any of its duties under the Agreement without the express, prior written consent of the other Party, and, absent such consent, any attempted assignment or delegation will be null, void and of no effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Elastio may assign the Agreement, without consent, in connection with a merger, sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of its stock or assets to which this Agreement relates.
    5. No Third Party Beneficiaries. The Parties acknowledge that the covenants set forth in the Agreement are intended solely for the benefit of the Parties, their successors and permitted assigns. Nothing herein, whether express or implied, will confer upon any person or entity, other than the Parties, the Elastio Indemnified Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns, any legal or equitable right whatsoever to enforce any provision of the Agreement.
    6. Severability. If any provision of the Agreement is invalid or unenforceable for any reason in any jurisdiction, such provision will be construed to have been adjusted to the minimum extent necessary to cure such invalidity or unenforceability. The invalidity or unenforceability of one or more of the provisions contained in the Agreement will not have the effect of rendering any such provision invalid or unenforceable in any other case, circumstance or jurisdiction, or of rendering any other provisions of the Agreement invalid or unenforceable whatsoever. If the Class Action Waiver provision is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the entire Provision (i.e., Section 10) will be unenforceable and the Dispute will be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
    7. Waiver. No waiver under the Agreement will be valid or binding unless set forth in writing and duly executed by the Party against whom enforcement of such waiver is sought. Any such waiver will constitute a waiver only with respect to the specific matter described therein and will in no way impair the rights of the Party granting such waiver in any other respect or at any other time. Any delay or forbearance by either Party in exercising any right hereunder will not be deemed a waiver of that right.
    8. Force Majeure. Except with respect to Customer’s payment obligations hereunder, if a Party is prevented or delayed in performance of its obligations hereunder as a result of circumstances beyond such Party’s reasonable control, including, by way of example and not limitation, war, riot, fires, floods, acts of nature, pandemics, epidemics, public health emergencies, orders of governmental authorities, or failure of public utilities or public transportation systems, such failure or delay will not be deemed to constitute a material breach of the Agreement, but such obligation will remain in full force and effect, and will be performed or satisfied as soon as reasonably practicable after the termination of the relevant circumstances causing such failure or delay, provided that if such Party is prevented or delayed from performing for more than ninety (90) days, the other Party may terminate the Agreement upon thirty (30) days’ written notice.
    9. Governing Law and Venue. THE AGREEMENT WILL BE GOVERNED BY AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF OR TO THE UNITED NATIONS CONVENTION ON THE INTERNATIONAL SALE OF GOODS.

THE PARTIES AGREE TO WAIVE AND OPT-OUT OF ANY APPLICATION OF THE UNIFORM COMPUTER INFORMATION TRANSACTIONS ACT (UCITA), OR ANY VERSION THEREOF, ADOPTED BY ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES IN ANY FORM.
    10. Jury Waiver. CUSTOMER UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES THAT BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT CUSTOMER AND ELASTIO ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OR A TRIAL BEFORE A JUDGE IN A PUBLIC COURT. IN THE ABSENCE OF THIS PROVISION, CUSTOMER OTHERWISE HAS HAD A RIGHT OR OPPORTUNITY TO BRING DISPUTES IN A COURT, BEFORE A JUDGE OR JURY, AND/OR TO PARTICIPATE OR BE REPRESENTED IN A CASE FILED IN COURT BY OTHERS (INCLUDING CLASS ACTIONS). EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED BELOW, THOSE RIGHTS ARE WAIVED. OTHER RIGHTS THAT CUSTOMER WOULD HAVE IF CUSTOMER WENT TO COURT, SUCH AS THE RIGHT TO APPEAL AND TO CERTAIN TYPES OF DISCOVERY, MAY BE MORE LIMITED OR MAY ALSO BE WAIVED.
    11. Time Limits. EXCEPT WHERE PROHIBITED BY LAW, CUSTOMER IS NOT ALLOWED TO BRING ANY CLAIM AGAINST ELASTIO OR THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES MORE THAN TWO YEARS AFTER THE CLAIM ARISES.
    12. U.S. Government End-Users. Each of the Service Documentation and the software components that constitute the Subscription Services is a “commercial item” as that term is defined at 48 C.F.R. 2.101, consisting of “commercial computer software” and “commercial computer software documentation” as such terms are used in 48 C.F.R. 12.212. Consistent with 48 C.F.R. 12.212 and 48 C.F.R. 227.7202-1 through 227.7202-4, all U.S. Government end users acquire the Subscription Services and the Service Documentation with only those rights set forth therein. If the user or licensee of the Subscription Services is an agency, department, or other entity of the United States Government, the use, duplication, reproduction, release, modification, disclosure, or transfer of the Subscription Services, or any related documentation of any kind, including technical data and manuals, is restricted by a license agreement or by the terms of this Agreement in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation 12.212 for civilian purposes and Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement 227.7202 for military purposes. The Subscription Services were developed fully at private expense. All other use is prohibited.
    13. Export Compliance.

Customer agrees to the foregoing and warrants that it is not located in, under the control of, or a national or resident of any such prohibited country or on any such prohibited party list. The Subscription Service is further restricted from being used for the design or development of nuclear, chemical, or biological weapons or missile technology, or for terrorist activity, without the prior permission of the United States government.
