14.4. Wordtune reserve the right, at any time, to: (i) discontinue or modify any aspect of the Software and/or the Services; and/or (ii) immediately terminate this Agreement and your use of the Software and/or the Services, if you engage in any conduct or activities that we reasonably determine violates this Agreement or the rights of Wordtune or any third party, or is otherwise inappropriate or fraudulent, and, to the maximum extent permitted by law, Wordtune shall not be liable to you or any third party for any of the foregoing. If you object to any term or condition of this Agreement or any subsequent modifications thereto, or become dissatisfied with the Software in any way, your only recourse is to immediately discontinue use of the Software. Unless otherwise stated in the Subscription Plan or required under applicable law, termination shall not give rise to any refund.
14.5. Suspension. Wordtune reserves the right to temporarily suspend Customer's access to the Service: (a) if Customer is seven (7) days or more overdue on a payment; (b) if Wordtune deems such suspension necessary as a result of Customer’s breach of the Subscription (such as a breach under Section 2.2 (Restrictions)); (c) if Wordtune reasonably determines suspension is necessary to avoid material harm to Wordtune, to its other customers, or to the Service; or (d) as required by Law or at the request of governmental entities.
14.6. Upon termination of this Agreement, you shall cease all use of the Software.

This Section 14 and Sections 6 (Wordtune Intellectual Property Rights,) 10 (Disclaimers) to 13 (Indemnity), 17 (Governing Law and Disputes) and 18 (Waiver and Remedies) shall survive termination of this Agreement, as shall any clause which ought by its nature to survive.
15. Entire Agreement; Amendment
This Agreement represents the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes and replaces all prior and contemporaneous oral or written understandings and statements by the parties with respect to such subject matter. In entering into this Agreement, neither party is relying on any representation or statement not expressly specified in this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any terms or conditions (whether printed, hyperlinked, or otherwise) in any purchase order or other standardized business forms, which purport to supersede, modify, or supplement this Agreement shall be void and of no effect (even if signed by a party). Customer shall include the Order reference/number in any purchase order issued to Wordtune. The section and subsection headings used in this Agreement are for convenience of reading only, and shall not be used or relied upon to interpret this Agreement. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts (including digitally, electronically scanned and e-mailed PDF copies, and any similarly signed and electronically or digitally transmitted copies) each of which will be considered an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement may only be modified or supplemented by a written instrument referencing this Agreement, which is duly signed by each party.
16. Assignment
This Agreement may not be assigned by Customer, in whole or in part, without Wordtune's prior express written consent. Wordtune may assign this Agreement, in whole or in part, without restriction or obligation. Furthermore, any Wordtune obligation hereunder may be performed (in whole or in part), and any Wordtune right (including invoice and payment rights) or remedy may be exercised (in whole or in part), by an affiliate of Wordtune. Any prohibited assignment will be null and void. Subject to the provisions of this Section (Assignment), this Agreement will bind and inure to the benefit of each party and its respective successors and assigns.
17. Governing law and disputes
This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Israel, without regard to any conflicts of laws rules or principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, as well as the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act (UCITA) (regardless of where or when adopted), shall not apply to this Agreement and are hereby disclaimed. Any claim, dispute or controversy between the parties will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the courts located in Tel Aviv, Israel and each party hereby irrevocably submits to the personal jurisdiction of such courts and waives any jurisdictional, venue, or inconvenient forum objections to such courts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Wordtune may seek injunctive (and other equitable) relief in any court of competent jurisdiction. EXCEPT TO SEEK EQUITABLE RELIEF, PAYMENT OF FEES, OR TO OTHERWISE PROTECT OR ENFORCE A PARTY'S INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OR CONFIDENTIALITY OBLIGATIONS, NO ACTION, REGARDLESS OF FORM, UNDER THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE BROUGHT BY EITHER PARTY MORE THAN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE DATE ON WHICH THE CORRESPONDING LIABILITY AROSE. Any claims or damages that Customer may have against Wordtune shall only be enforceable against Wordtune, and not any other entity or Wordtune's officers, directors, representatives, employees, or agents.
18. Waiver and Remedies
No failure or delay on the part of either party in exercising any right or remedy hereunder will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise of any such right or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right or remedy. Any waiver granted hereunder must be in writing, duly signed by the waiving party, and will be valid only in the specific instance in which given. Except as may be expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, no right or remedy conferred upon or reserved by either party under this Agreement is intended to be, or will be deemed, exclusive of any other right or remedy under this Agreement, at law, or in equity, but will be cumulative of such other rights and remedies.
19. Relationship
The relationship of the parties is solely that of independent contractors, neither party nor its employees are the servants, agents, or employees of the other, and no exclusivities arise out of this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to create a relationship of employer and employee, principal and agent, joint venture, franchise, fiduciary, partnership, association, or otherwise between the parties. Neither party has any authority to enter into agreements of any kind on behalf of the other party and neither party will create or attempt to create any obligation, express or implied, on behalf of the other party.
20. Export Compliance
Customer represents and warrants that: (a) it is not a resident of, and will not access or use the Service in, a country that the U.S. government has embargoed for use of the Service, and that Customer is not a person or entity named on the U.S. Treasury Department’s list of Specially Designated Nationals or any other applicable trade sanctioning regulations of any jurisdiction; and (b) its country of residence and/or incorporation (as applicable) is the same as the country specified in the contact and/or billing address provided to Wordtune. Customer shall not transfer, export, re-export, import, re-import or divert the Service in violation of any Export Control Laws (defined below), and shall not transfer, export, re-export, import, re-import or divert the Product to Lebanon, Syria, Iran, Iraq, Sudan, Yemen, Cuba, the Crimea, Donetsk, or Luhansk regions of Ukraine, or North Korea (or other countries specifically designated in writing by Wordtune from time to time). In the event of a breach under this Section (Export Compliance), Customer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Wordtune and its affiliates (and their respective directors, officers, and employees) for any fines and/or penalties imposed upon them as a result of such breach. "Export Control Laws" means all applicable export and re-export control Laws applicable to Customer and/or Wordtune or its affiliates, as well as the United States' Export Administration Regulations (EAR) maintained by the US Department of Commerce, trade and economic sanctions maintained by the US Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control, and the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) maintained by the US Department of State.
21. Severability
If any provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, then: (a) the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect; and (b) the parties agree that the court making such determination shall have the power to limit the provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace the provision with a provision that is legal, valid and enforceable and that most closely approximates the original legal intent and economic impact of such provision, and this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified in respect of such jurisdiction. In the event such court does not exercise the power granted to it as aforesaid, then such provision will be ineffective solely as to such jurisdiction, and will be substituted (in respect of such jurisdiction) with a valid, legal and enforceable provision that most closely approximates the original legal intent and economic impact of such provision.
22. Confidentiality
Wordtune may use Customer’s name and logo on Wordtune's website and in its promotional materials to state that Customer is a customer of the Service.
23. Customer Resources
Except for the Service, Customer shall be solely responsible: (a) for providing all hardware, software, systems, assets, facilities, and ancillary goods and services needed for Customer to access and use the Service; and (b) for ensuring their compatibility with the Service.
24. Patent Notices
