Therefore, Licensee agrees that Blue Ripple shall be entitled to bring a claim for preliminary and permanent injunctive relief, as determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce the provisions of this Licence Agreement. 8.4 If any provision of this Licence Agreement or the Software thereof is declared void, illegal, or unenforceable, the remainder of this Licence Agreement will be valid and enforceable to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Each party agrees to give notice forthwith to the other upon becoming aware of a Force Majeure Event, such notice to contain details of the circumstances giving rise to the Force Majeure Event. If a default due to a Force Majeure Event shall continue for more than 13 weeks, then the party not in default shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement. Neither party shall have any liability to the other in respect of such termination as a result of a Force Majeure Event. 8.9 This Licence Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, oral and written, made with respect to the subject matter hereof. 8.10 This Licence Agreement is governed by and construed in accordance with English law. The Courts of England shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any disputes arising out of this Licence Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Licensee is a consumer, in accordance with the consumer protection legislation of England and Wales and lives outside the United Kingdom, English law shall apply only to the extent that English law shall not deprive the Licensee of any legal protection accorded in accordance with the law of the place where the Licensee is habitually resident ("Local Law"). In the event English law deprives the Licensee of any legal protection which is accorded to the Licensee under Local Law, then this Licence Agreement shall be governed by Local Law and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with this Licence Agreement shall be subject to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts where the Licensee is habitually resident. 8.11 A person who is not a party to this agreement shall not have any rights under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce any term of this Licence Agreement.
