21. Survival. To the extent permitted by applicable law, notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement, any provision of this Agreement that is expressly, or by implication, intended to come into or remain in force on or after such termination shall remain in full force and effect for the required duration. This applies, without limitation, to the provisions on intellectual property, confidentiality, liability, applicable law, jurisdiction, and warranties.
22. Severability. Should any provision of this Agreement be found by any court or regulatory body of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary. The other provisions of this Agreement will remain intact and in full force and effect. Furthermore, in lieu of any such invalid or unenforceable term or provision, the Parties agree that there will be a valid and enforceable provision added to this Agreement to effectuate the intent of the removed provision to achieve the economic, legal, and/or commercial objectives of the invalid or unenforceable provision.
23. Contractual Structure. This Agreement, the Terms of Use, and all relevant Order Form(s) shall comprise the contractual relationship between the Parties. Should a term in an Order Form conflict with a term of this Agreement, the term of the Order Form shall control, to the extent that it conflicts with this Agreement. This Agreement supersedes or cancels all prior written and oral understandings or agreements between the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement.
24. Waiver. A Party’s failure to exercise or delay in exercising a right under this Agreement or the applicable law shall not be construed as that Party’s wavier of said right. A waiver of a right under this Agreement shall only be effective if it is made in a writing signed by the duly authorized representatives of the respective Parties. The valid waiver of any right under this Agreement is without prejudice to any other rights under this Agreement or the applicable law.
25. Applicable Law and Jurisdiction. This Agreement and Order Form(s) issued hereunder shall be governed by, interpreted and enforced in accordance with the laws of France, excluding the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and the Uniform Commercial Code.
