Software Arts may, in its sole discretion and without notice, restrict, deny, terminate technical support for their products due to failure to pay or failure to purchase a Technical Support Contract.
5. Governing Law and General Provisions.
This Agreement will be governed by the laws in force in the State of California excluding the application of its conflicts of law rules. This Agreement will not be governed by the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, the application of which is expressly excluded. You agree that the Software will not be shipped, transferred or exported into any country or used in any manner prohibited by the United States Export Administration Act or any other export laws, restrictions or regulations.

6. Limitation of Liability and Indemnity.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the entire liability of Software Arts, Inc., its affiliates and suppliers for all claims relating to this agreement shall be limited to the amount you paid for the software during the twelve (12) months prior to such claim. Subject to applicable law, Software Arts, Inc., its affiliates and suppliers are not liable for any of the following: (a) indirect, special, incidental, punitive or consequential damages; (b) damages relating to failures of telecommunications, the internet, electronic communications, corruption, security, loss or theft of data, viruses, spyware, loss of business, revenue, profits or investment, or use of software or hardware that does not meet Software Arts, Inc. Systems requirements. The above limitations apply even if Software Arts, Inc. and its affiliates and suppliers have been advised of the possibility of such damages. This agreement sets forth the entire liability of Software Arts, Inc., its affiliates and your exclusive remedy with respect to the software and its use. You agree to indemnify and hold Software Arts, Inc. and its affiliates and suppliers harmless from any and all claims, liability and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, arising out of your use of the software or breach of this agreement (collectively referred to as “claims”). Software Arts, Inc. Reserves the right, in its sole discretion and at its own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any claims. You agree to reasonably cooperate as requested by Software Arts, Inc. in the defense of any claims.
8. Disputes.
Any dispute or claim relating in any way to the software art's software or this agreement will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision; the arbitrator shall apply California law to all other matters. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including issues relating to the scope and enforceability of this arbitration provision. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, any party to the arbitration may at any time seek injunctions or other forms of equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction. We each agree that any and all disputes must be brought in the parties’ individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding. By entering into this agreement and agreeing to arbitration, you agree that you and software arts are each waiving the right to file a lawsuit and the right to a trial by jury. In addition, you agree to waive the right to participate in a class action or litigate on a class-wide basis. You agree that you have expressly and knowingly waived these rights.
All Arbitration proceedings shall be filed and be held in Santa Clara County California. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and not appealable.
