The Licensed Software is "Restricted Computer Software" and "Commercial Computer Software" and if You are acquiring the Licensed Software for the United States Government, then it is acquiring only "restricted rights" in the Licensed Software and its Documentation, all as defined in the applicable provisions of the Department of Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement and the Federal Acquisition Regulations. Such unit will include a "restricted rights legend" on the Licensed Software as may be necessary to ensure the limitation of rights acquired by the government. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement will not become effective with respect to the United States Government without Vertifi's prior written approval.
  17. EXPORT CONTROLS. This Agreement is subject to the laws, regulations, orders and decrees of the United States which may be imposed from time to time restricting the import/export of the Products to/from the United States. You will not export or re-export the Licensed Software, or any part of the Licensed Software, directly or indirectly prohibited by or in violation of the laws, rules or regulations of the United States or any applicable jurisdiction.

  19. MISCELLANEOUS. This Agreement is governed solely and exclusively by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, United States of America, without giving effect to any law which would result in the application of a different body of law. The state or federal courts located in or having jurisdiction over Boston, Massachusetts, United States of America, will have exclusive jurisdiction over all matters pertaining to this Agreement and all suits must be brought in such courts. If any term or condition of this Agreement is or will become invalid or unenforceable, then such part will be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity only without affecting this Agreement's remaining provisions. Sections 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14(b), 15, 16, 17, 18 and 19 shall survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement. The remedies at law of either party in the event of default or impending default by the other party in the performance of any terms of this Agreement will not be adequate, and such terms may be specifically enforced by a decree for specific performance, injunction or other appropriate equitable relief. The failure of Vertifi to enforce at any time any provision of this Agreement will in no way be construed to be a present or future waiver of such provision, nor will it affect Vertifi's ability to enforce any provisions of this Agreement. This Agreement is the sole, final and entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter set forth herein and supersedes all prior oral or written agreements between the parties with respect thereto and may only be amended in writing by the parties.
