That invoice (the “Invoice“) and these Terms (collectively, this “Agreement“) comprise the entire agreement between Service Provider and Customer, and supersede all prior or contemporaneous understandings, agreements, negotiations, representations and warranties, and communications, both written and oral. These Terms supersede and prevail over any of Customer’s general terms and conditions regardless of whether or when Customer has submitted its request for proposal, order, or such terms. The provision of services to Customer does not constitute acceptance of any of Customer’s terms and conditions and does not serve to modify or amend these Terms.

Fees and Expenses; Payment Terms; Interest on Late Payments.  In consideration of the provision of the Services by Service Provider and the rights granted to Customer under this Agreement, Customer shall pay the fees set forth in the Invoice.

The Service Provider shall not be liable for a breach of the limited warranty set forth herein unless Customer gives written notice of the defective Services, reasonably described, to Service Provider no later than 30 days from the date that Customer discovers or ought to have discovered that the Services were defective. Service Provider shall, in its sole discretion, either: repair or re-perform such Services (or replace the defective part); or credit or refund the applicable price of such defective Services.

Limitation of Liability.  IN NO EVENT SHALL SERVICE PROVIDER BE LIABLE TO CUSTOMER OR TO ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY LOSS OF USE, REVENUE OR PROFIT, OR FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, EXEMPLARY, SPECIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES WHETHER ARISING OUT OF BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), OR OTHERWISE, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH DAMAGES WERE FORESEEABLE AND WHETHER OR NOT SERVICE PROVIDER HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, AND NOTWITHSTANDING THE FAILURE OF ANY AGREED OR OTHER REMEDY OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

Miscellaneous.  SERVICE PROVIDER IS NOT A FEDERAL GOVERNMENT CONTRACTOR OR SUBCONTRACTOR. SERVICE PROVIDER CANNOT ACCEPT OR AGREE TO ANY TERMS OR CONDITIONS THAT WOULD IMPOSE SUCH STATUS ON IT.  ACCORDINGLY, THE PARTIES AGREE AND REPRESENT THAT THE SERVICES SERVICE PROVIDER WILL PROVIDE HEREUNDER ARE NOT, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, FOR USE IN, OR NECESSARY TO, THE PERFORMANCE OF A FEDERAL GOVERNMENT CONTRACT OR SUBCONTRACT. All matters arising out of or relating to this Agreement are governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the state of South Dakota.

Further, in the event that any provision in this Agreement is held to be overbroad as written, such provision shall be deemed amended to narrow its application to the extent necessary to make the provision enforceable according to law and enforced as amended.
