Your Indemnity to Dell. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Dell, including Dell’s officers, directors, agents, employees, subsidiaries, affiliates, parents, successors and assigns, from any claim, demand, cause of action, debt, or liability (including reasonable attorneys’ or legal fees, expenses, and court costs) that relates to: (a) your modification of or addition to Product(s); (b) your breach of this Agreement; (c) your omission, misrepresentation, or negligence; and (d) damage to a third party by the Products sold by you to the extent such claim is based on (i) your modification of or addition to the Products, misuse or abuse of the Products, negligence, or breach of any provision in this Agreement; (ii) your failure to abide by all applicable laws, rules, regulations, and orders that affect the Products; (iii) your omission, misrepresentation, or negligence; or (iv) intentional harm to any person or property caused by you. Indemnified claims, debts, and liabilities include the amount of any discount in price or concession that is made available by Dell to you.
Dispute Resolution. The parties will attempt to resolve any claim, dispute, or controversy (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) against Dell, its agents, employees, successors, assigns, or affiliates (collectively for purposes of this paragraph, “Dell”) arising out of or relating to this Agreement, Dell’s advertising, or any related purchase (a “Dispute”) through face-to-face negotiation with persons fully authorized to resolve the Dispute or through mediation utilizing a mutually agreeable mediator, rather than through litigation. If the parties are unable to resolve the Dispute through negotiation or mediation within a reasonable time after written notice from one party to the other that a Dispute exists, the Dispute will be settled by binding arbitration in accordance with the then current CPR Rules for Non-Administered Arbitration. The Arbitration will be conducted before three (3) independent and impartial arbitrators. Dell will appoint one (1) arbitrator and the other party or parties will appoint one (1) arbitrator. The two (2) appointed arbitrators will then select a third arbitrator, who shall be the presiding arbitrator. The arbitration hearing shall take place in Austin, Texas and will be governed by the United States Federal Arbitration Act to the exclusion of any inconsistent state laws. The arbitrators shall base their award on the terms of this Agreement, and will follow the law and judicial precedents that a United States District Judge sitting in the Western District of Texas would apply to the Dispute. (For Canadian entities: the arbitration hearing shall take place in Toronto, Ontario and will be governed by the Arbitration Act of Ontario and the applicable laws of Ontario and Canada.) The arbitrators shall render their award in writing and will include the findings of fact and conclusion of law upon which their award is based. Judgment upon the arbitration award may be entered by any court of competent jurisdiction. The existence or results of any negotiation, mediation, or arbitration will be treated as confidential. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party will have the right to obtain from a court of competent jurisdiction a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, or other equitable relief to preserve the status quo or prevent irreparable harm, although the merits of the underlying Dispute will be resolved in accordance with this paragraph.
Independent Contractors. No provision of this Agreement will or shall be deemed to create a partnership, joint venture, or other combination between Dell and you. You and Dell are independent contractors. Neither party will make any warranties or representations or assume any obligations on the other party’s behalf. Neither party is or will claim to be a legal representative, partner, franchisee, agent, or employee of the other party. Each party is responsible for the amounts it incurs arising from this Agreement and for the direction and compensation, and is liable for the actions of, its employees and subcontractors.
Governing Law. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THIS AGREEMENT, ANY SALES THERE UNDER, OR ANY CLAIM, DISPUTE, OR CONTROVERSY (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, WHETHER PREEXISTING, PRESENT, OR FUTURE, AND INCLUDING STATUTORY, COMMON LAW, AND EQUITABLE CLAIMS) BETWEEN CUSTOMER AND DELL arising from or relating to this agreement, its interpretation, or the breach, termination, or validity thereof, the relationships which result from this agreement, Dell’s advertising, or any related purchase SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS (OR FOR CANADIAN ENTITIES, THE PROVINCE OF ONTARIO), WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS-OF-LAWS RULES.
Export. You acknowledge that the purchased goods licensed or sold under this Agreement, and the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, which may include technology and software, are subject to the customs and export control laws and regulations of the United States (“U.S.”) or Canada and may also be subject to the customs and export laws and regulations of the country in which the products are manufactured or received. You acknowledge that it is your sole responsibility to comply with and abide by those laws and regulations. Further, under U.S. law, the goods shipped pursuant to this Agreement may not be sold, leased, or otherwise transferred to restricted countries or utilized by restricted end-users or an end-user engaged in activities related to weapons of mass destruction, including without limitation, activities related to the design, development, production or use of nuclear weapons, materials, or facilities, missiles or the support of missile projects, and chemical or biological weapons. You agree not to provide any written regulatory certifications or notifications on behalf of Dell. Dell has not tested Products for use in high-risk activities including but not limited to any life sustaining, chemical, or mission critical use. DELL WILL NOT HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY DAMAGES ARISING FROM THE USE OF THE PRODUCTS IN ANY HIGH RISK ACTIVITY, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE OPERATION OF NUCLEAR FACILITIES, AIRCRAFT NAVIGATION OR COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS, AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL, MEDICAL SYSTEMS, LIFE SUPPORT, OR WEAPONS SYSTEMS.
Headings. The section headings used herein are for convenience of reference only and do not form a part of these terms and conditions, and no construction or inference shall be derived there from. If any provision of this Agreement is void or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement will remain in full force and will not be terminated.
