Therefore, 420 the Licensor disclaims any and all liability towards the Licensee 421 arising out of any or all proceedings for infringement that may be 422 instituted in respect of the use, modification and redistribution of the 423 Software. Nevertheless, should such proceedings be instituted against 424 the Licensee, the Licensor shall provide it with technical and legal 425 assistance for its defense. Such technical and legal assistance shall be 426 decided on a case-by-case basis between the relevant Licensor and the 427 Licensee pursuant to a memorandum of understanding. The Licensor 428 disclaims any and all liability as regards the Licensee's use of the 429 name of the Software.

However, any 443 licenses that it may have granted prior to termination of the Agreement 444 shall remain valid subject to their having been granted in compliance 445 with the terms and conditions hereof. 446 447 448 Article 11 - MISCELLANEOUS 449 450 451 11.1 EXCUSABLE EVENTS 452 453 Neither Party shall be liable for any or all delay, or failure to 454 perform the Agreement, that may be attributable to an event of force 455 majeure, an act of God or an outside cause, such as defective 456 functioning or interruptions of the electricity or telecommunications 457 networks, network paralysis following a virus attack, intervention by 458 government authorities, natural disasters, water damage, earthquakes, 459 fire, explosions, strikes and labor unrest, war, etc. 460 461 11.2 Any failure by either Party, on one or more occasions, to invoke 462 one or more of the provisions hereof, shall under no circumstances be 463 interpreted as being a waiver by the interested Party of its right to 464 invoke said provision(s) subsequently. 465 466 11.3 The Agreement cancels and replaces any or all previous agreements, 467 whether written or oral, between the Parties and having the same 468 purpose, and constitutes the entirety of the agreement between said 469 Parties concerning said purpose. No supplement or modification to the 470 terms and conditions hereof shall be effective as between the Parties 471 unless it is made in writing and signed by their duly authorized 472 representatives. 473 474 11.4 In the event that one or more of the provisions hereof were to 475 conflict with a current or future applicable act or legislative text, 476 said act or legislative text shall prevail, and the Parties shall make 477 the necessary amendments so as to comply with said act or legislative 478 text. All other provisions shall remain effective. Similarly, invalidity 479 of a provision of the Agreement, for any reason whatsoever, shall not 480 cause the Agreement as a whole to be invalid. 481 482 483 11.5 LANGUAGE 484 485 The Agreement is drafted in both French and English and both versions 486 are deemed authentic. 487 488 489 Article 12 - NEW VERSIONS OF THE AGREEMENT 490 491 12.1 Any person is authorized to duplicate and distribute copies of this 492 Agreement. 493 494 12.2 So as to ensure coherence, the wording of this Agreement is 495 protected and may only be modified by the authors of the License, who 496 reserve the right to periodically publish updates or new versions of the 497 Agreement, each with a separate number. These subsequent versions may 498 address new issues encountered by Free Software. 499 500 12.3 Any Software distributed under a given version of the Agreement may 501 only be subsequently distributed under the same version of the Agreement 502 or a subsequent version. 503 504 505 Article 13 - GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION 506 507 13.1 The Agreement is governed by French law. The Parties agree to 508 endeavor to seek an amicable solution to any disagreements or disputes 509 that may arise during the performance of the Agreement. 510 511 13.2 Failing an amicable solution within two (2) months as from their 512 occurrence, and unless emergency proceedings are necessary, the 513 disagreements or disputes shall be referred to the Paris Courts having 514 jurisdiction, by the more diligent Party. 515 516 517 Version 1.0 dated 2006-09-05.
