WAIVER; RIGHTS CUMULATIVE.
Except as otherwise set forth to the contrary in the Agreement, the rights and remedies of the Parties to the Agreement are cumulative and not alternative. Neither any failure nor any delay by any Party in exercising any right, power, or privilege under the Agreement or any of the documents referred to in the Agreement will operate as a waiver of such right, power, or privilege, and no single or partial exercise of any such right, power, or privilege will preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power, or privilege. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law:
- No claim or right arising out of the Agreement or any of the documents referred to in the Agreement can be discharged by one Party, in whole or in part, by a waiver or renunciation of the claim or right unless in writing signed by the other Party;
- No waiver that a Party may give will be applicable except in the specific instance for which it is given in writing; and
- No notice to or demand on one Party will be deemed to be a waiver of any obligation of that Party or of the right of the Party giving such notice or demand to take further action without notice or demand as provided in the Agreement or the documents referred to or incorporated in the Agreement.
CAPTIONS AND REFERENCES.
The headings of articles and paragraphs in the Agreement are provided for convenience only and will not affect the construction or interpretation of any provision hereof. Any references herein to a “section” means the corresponding Section of the Agreement. Any references herein to a “paragraph” means the corresponding paragraph of the Agreement. References herein to any gender include the other gender and the neuter, as applicable. References herein to the singular number include the plural number and vice versa. The words “hereunder,” “hereof,” “hereto,” and words of similar import will be deemed references to the Agreement as a whole and not to any particular Section or other provision hereof or any exhibit attached hereto. When used in the Agreement, the word “including” (and with the correlative meaning “include” and “includes”) means including without limiting the generality of any list or description following such term and will be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.”
DOCUMENT CONSTRUCTION; PRECEDENCE.
The Agreement has been negotiated at arm’s length. Any rule of law or legal decision that requires interpretation of ambiguities against the drafting party is not applicable and is hereby waived. The provisions of the Agreement shall be interpreted in a commercially reasonable manner to effect the purpose of the Parties to the Agreement. In the event of any inconsistent or conflicting term, the order of precedence shall be these Wholesale Terms of Service, the Agreement, any addenda and/or exhibits subsequently added to the Agreement, and the Mutual Non-Disclosure, and Confidentiality Agreement.
DISPUTE RESOLUTION.
Except for matters involving immediate equitable relief, non-payment for Services or products or services sold or provisioned by Logically, or as otherwise specifically provided in or permitted by the Agreement, all disputes, differences of opinion, or controversies arising in connection with the Agreement shall be subject to good-faith negotiation between the Parties in an attempt to arrive at a mutually agreeable resolution. The aggrieved Party shall first provide written notice of the dispute to the other Party and seek resolution before taking any action before any court or regulator or before issuing or authorizing any public statement about the nature of the dispute or controversy. If, after negotiating in good faith for a minimum period of fourteen (14) calendar days, or any agreed further period, the Parties cannot resolve the dispute, the Parties shall submit the matter to a mutually agreed-upon mediator based in Franklin County, Ohio. The mediation shall take place in the offices of the mediator unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties. The Parties shall present their side to the mediator within fourteen (14) calendar days or such other period as mutually agreed upon. The cost of the mediation shall be equally shared. If the Parties are unsuccessful in resolving the matter through the use of the mediator, either Party may seek a resolution by exercising any rights or remedies available to either Party at law or in equity. Arbitration shall not be mandatory and shall only be used if agreed to by the Parties, in writing, as binding and final.
PREVAILING PARTY ENTITLED TO ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND COSTS.
If any legal action or any other proceeding is brought for the interpretation or enforcement of the Agreement, or because of an alleged dispute, breach, default, or misrepresentation in connection with any of the provisions of the Agreement, the successful or Prevailing Party or parties shall be entitled to recover all reasonable costs and fees incurred in that action or proceeding which shall include, without limitation, reasonable fees of attorneys, legal assistants, paralegals, and other legal personnel which is supervised by an attorney together with reasonable fees of accountants, appraisers, and other professionals or experts, in addition to any other relief to which it or they may be entitled. All fees shall be limited to what is determined as reasonable by the matter’s type, duration, and location and shall conform to the Rules Regulating the Ohio Bar. In this event, this definition shall apply to “litigation,” which shall include arbitration if such arbitration is binding and agreed to by the Parties. For purposes hereof, “Prevailing Party” means any party or neither party in any proceeding that has substantially prevailed concerning the amount in controversy or has substantially prevailed concerning the most significant issue or set of issues presented as determined by the judge (not the jury) or the arbitrator(s) and any such judgment or award shall articulate the basis for determining the Prevailing Party. The preceding shall include fees incurred for proof of attorneys’ fees (fees for fees), appellate proceedings, and collection by the Prevailing Party of any award or judgment.
WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.
EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION, PROCEEDING, CAUSE OF ACTION, OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE AGREEMENT, INCLUDING ANY EXHIBITS, ATTACHED TO OR INCORPORATED INTO THE AGREEMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) NO REPRESENTATIVE OF THE OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT THE OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER IN THE EVENT OF A LEGAL ACTION, (B) IT HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (C) IT MAKES THIS WAIVER KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY, AND (D) IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THE AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

SURVIVAL; SEVERABILITY.
All terms and provisions of the Agreement that should by their nature survive the termination of the Agreement will so survive. If any provision of the Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable under present or future laws, such provision shall be fully severable; the Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part of the Agreement and the remaining portion(s) of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance from the Agreement.
COUNTERPARTS. ELECTRONIC SIGNATURES.
The Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which will constitute an original, all of which together will constitute one Agreement. Original signatures transmitted and received via facsimile or another electronic transmission of a scanned document (e.g., PDF or similar format) are true and valid signatures for all purposes under the Agreement as if executed “in person” in Dublin, Ohio, and will bind the Parties to the same extent as that of an original signature.
