Miscellaneous + +6.1 This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws +of excluding its conflicts of law provisions. Under certain circumstances, the +governing law in this section might be superseded by the United Nations +Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods ("UN Convention") +and the parties intend to avoid the application of the UN Convention to this +Agreement and, thus, exclude the application of the UN Convention in its +entirety to this Agreement. + +6.2 This Agreement sets out the entire agreement between You and Us for Your +Contributions to Us and overrides all other agreements or understandings. + +6.3 If You or We assign the rights or obligations received through this +Agreement to a third party, as a condition of the assignment, that third party +must agree in writing to abide by all the rights and obligations in the +Agreement. + +6.4 The failure of either party to require performance by the other party of any +provision of this Agreement in one situation shall not affect the right of a +party to require such performance at any time in the future. A waiver of +performance under a provision in one situation shall not be considered a waiver +of the performance of the provision in the future or a waiver of the provision +in its entirety. + +6.5 If any provision of this Agreement is found void and unenforceable, such +provision will be replaced to the extent possible with a provision that comes +closest to the meaning of the original provision and which is enforceable. The +terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement shall apply notwithstanding any +failure of essential purpose of this Agreement or any limited remedy to the +maximum extent possible under law.
