(USA only) SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO LICENSEE.  LICENSEE MAY HAVE OTHER LEGAL RIGHTS THAT VARY FROM STATE TO STATE.

The limitations or exclusions of warranties, remedies or liability contained in this Agreement shall apply to Licensee only to the extent such limitations or exclusions are permitted under the laws of the jurisdiction where Licensee is located.

 

This Agreement may not be modified except by a writing executed by authorized representatives of both parties.

 

This Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to principles of conflict of laws.  Licensee hereby consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state courts sitting in Erie County, New York, or the federal courts in the Western District of New York to resolve any disputes under this Agreement.
