GENERAL PROVISIONS.
7.1. This Agreement does not create any
relationship of association, partnership, joint venture or agency between the
parties. Neither party will have any right or authority to assume, create or
incur any liability or obligation of any kind against or in the name of the
other party.
7.2. This Agreement sets forth the entire
agreement and understanding between the parties with respect to the subject

negotiations between the parties and supersedes and replaces any and every
other agreement, which may have existed between Licensor and Licensee with

7.3. Except to the extent and in the
manner specified in this Agreement, any modification or amendment of any
provision of this Agreement must be in writing and bear the signature of the
duly authorized representative of each party.
7.4. The failure of either party to
exercise any right granted under this Agreement, or to require the performance
by the other party of any provision of this Agreement, or the waiver by either
party of any breach of this Agreement, will not prevent a subsequent exercise
or enforcement of such provisions or be deemed a waiver of any subsequent
breach of the same or any other provision of this Agreement.
7.5. Licensee may not sell, assign or
transfer any of its rights, duties or obligations under this Agreement without
the prior written consent of Licensor and the payment of license transfer fees.
Licensor reserves the right to assign or transfer this Agreement or any of its

7.6. The parties agree that no person or

deemed to be a third-party beneficiary or entitled to any rights under this
Agreement.
7.7. All notices, requests, reports,
submissions and other communications permitted or required to be given under
this Agreement will be deemed to have been duly given if such notice or
communication is in writing and sent by personal delivery or by airmail, cable,
telegram, telex, facsimile transmission, email or other commercial means of
rapid delivery, postage or costs of transmission and delivery prepaid, to the
parties at addresses specified below until such time as either party gives the
other party not less than ten (10) days' prior written notice of a change of
address in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
7.8. If any provision of this Agreement
is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be in violation of any
applicable law or otherwise invalid or unenforceable, such provision will to
such extent as it is determined to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under
such law be deemed null and void, but this Agreement will otherwise remain in
full force and effect. Furthermore, it is the intention of the parties that in
lieu of such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision, there automatically
be added as a part of this Agreement a provision as similar in terms to such
illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision as may be possible and be legal,
valid, and enforceable.
