13.1 Manner of Giving Notice. All notices, permissions, and approvals hereunder must be in writing and will be deemed given upon: (i) personal delivery, (ii) the third business day after mailing, (iii) the second business day after sending via an overnight delivery service; or (iii) the first business day after sending by email (provided email is not sufficient for notices of material breach, termination, or an indemnifiable claim).

Email: support@perfectvenue.com
Billing-related notices to You shall be addressed to the relevant billing contact designated by You. All other notices to You shall be addressed to the relevant Admin User designated by You, in writing, by like notice.
13.2 Governing Law and Venue. This Agreement and any disputes arising under it will be governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to its conflict of law provisions, and each party consents to the personal jurisdiction and venue of the state or federal courts located in San Francisco, California. The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded.
13.3 Informal Dispute Resolution and Arbitration. The parties acknowledge that most disputes can be resolved without resorting to litigation. The parties will use their best efforts to settle any dispute directly through consultation with each other before initiating a lawsuit or arbitration. If, after good faith negotiations the parties are unable to resolve the dispute, any and all disputes arising out of or in any way relating to this Agreement, including without limitation its existence, validity or termination, shall be resolved according to California law and exclusively by binding arbitration before a single arbitrator with the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Service (“JAMS”) and pursuant to the then existing arbitration rules at JAMS.
If the parties cannot agree upon selection of an arbitrator, then JAMS shall appoint an arbitrator experienced in the enterprise software industry. The place of the arbitration will be San Francisco, California unless otherwise agreed upon by the parties. The arbitration will be conducted in English. The arbitrator shall provide detailed written findings of fact and conclusions of law in support of any award. Judgment upon any such award may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. The existence of a dispute, submission to arbitration, and any arbitration award under to this Agreement is deemed the Confidential Information of both parties.
The parties further agree that the arbitration shall be conducted in their individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action, and the parties expressly waive their right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth herein is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the portions of this Section 13.3 mandating arbitration shall be deemed null and void in its entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes.
You may opt out and not be bound by the arbitration and class action waiver provisions by sending written notice to Perfect Venue. Any such notice must be given within 30 days of the Effective Date. If Customer opts out of arbitration, Perfect Venue also will not be bound to arbitrate.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 13, (a) either party shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief as set forth in Section 13.4 (Equitable Relief) below and to stop unauthorized use of the Service or infringement of Intellectual Property Rights and (b) any disputes, claims, or controversies concerning either party’s Intellectual Property Rights or claims of piracy or unauthorized use of the Service shall not be subject to arbitration but instead must be heard in state or Federal court in San Francisco, California.
13.4 Equitable Relief. Each party acknowledges and agrees that a breach or threatened breach by such party of any of its obligations under Section 8 (Confidentiality) or, in the case of Customer, Section 4.3 (Usage Restrictions), would cause the other party irreparable harm for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy and agrees that, in the event of such breach or threatened breach, the other party will be entitled to seek equitable relief, including a restraining order, an injunction, specific performance, and any other relief that may be available from any court, without any requirement to post a bond or other security, or to prove actual damages or that monetary damages are not an adequate remedy. Such remedies are not exclusive and are in addition to all other remedies that may be available at law, in equity, or otherwise.
14.1 Export Compliance. The Service, other technology We make available, and derivatives thereof may be subject to export laws and regulations of the United States and other jurisdictions. Each party represents that it is not named on any U.S. government denied-party list. You will not permit Authorized Users to access or use the Service in a U.S.-embargoed country, or permit access or use by any denied party, or otherwise in violation of any U.S. export law or regulation.
14.2 Entire Agreement and Order of Precedence. This Agreement, including any Order Forms, and any additional addenda, exhibits, and/or documents incorporated thereto, is the entire agreement between You and Us regarding the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, proposals, or representations, written or oral, concerning its subject matter. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement will be effective unless in writing and signed by the party against whom the waiver is to be asserted. The parties agree that any term or condition stated in Your purchase order or in any other of Your order documentation (excluding Order Forms) during the term of this Agreement is void. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency among the following documents, the order of precedence will be: (1) this Agreement, (2) the applicable Order Form, and (3) the Documentation.
14.3 Assignment. Neither party may assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder, whether by operation of law or otherwise, without the other party’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld); provided, however, either party may assign this Agreement in its entirety (including all Order Forms), without the other party’s consent to its Affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets to which this Agreement relates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a party merges with, is acquired by, sells substantially all or substantially all of its assets to, or otherwise undergoes a change of control in favor of, a direct competitor of the other party, then such other party may terminate this Agreement upon written notice.
14.4 Relationship of the Parties. The parties are independent contractors. This Agreement does not create a partnership, franchise, joint venture, agency, fiduciary, or employment relationship between the parties.
14.5 Publicity. Unless otherwise set forth on an Order Form, Perfect Venue may use Customer’s name, logo and marks to identify Customer as a Perfect Venue customer on Perfect Venue’s website and marketing, public relations and materials for current or prospective investors and Customer may revoke such consent by providing written notice to Perfect Venue at support@perfectvenue.com.
14.6 Third-Party Beneficiaries. There are no third-party beneficiaries under this Agreement.
14.7 Waiver. No failure or delay by either party in exercising any right under this Agreement constitutes a waiver of that right.
14.8 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be contrary to law, the provision will be deemed null and void, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in effect.
14.9 Changes. Perfect Venue may revise this Agreement from time to time by posting a revised version on its website. Any such revised version will take effect as of the date of posting of the revised version or such later date set forth in a notice to You. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if You do not agree to the revised version, You may provide us written notice of non-renewal under Section 12.2 (Term of Purchased Subscriptions) within 30 days of the effective date of the revised version and such revised version will not apply to Your access and use of the Service through the remainder of Your then-current Subscription Term.
14.10 Force Majeure. Except for payment obligations, neither party will be liable for inadequate performance to the extent caused by a condition (for example, natural disaster, an act of war or terrorism, riot, labor condition, governmental action, Internet service provider failure or delay, or denial of service attack) that was beyond the party’s reasonable control.
14.11 US Government Rights. Each of the Software, Documentation, and each software component that We use to provide the Service is a “commercial item” as that term is defined at 48 C.F.R. § 2.101, consisting of “commercial computer software” and “commercial computer software documentation” as such terms are used in 48 C.F.R. § 12.212. If Customer is an agency of the US Government or any contractor therefor, Customer only receives those rights with respect to the Service, Software and Documentation as are granted to all other end users, in accordance with (a) 48 C.F.R. § 227.7201 through 48 C.F.R. § 227.7204, with respect to the Department of Defense and their contractors, or (b) 48 C.F.R. § 12.212, with respect to all other US Government users and their contractors.
1.1. The Service allows: (a) Listing Users to make available times, capacity, price and related information at their Venues(s) accessible by the Service via information inputted by the Listing User directly into the Service and via Company’s application programming interface (“Company API”) pursuant to and in accordance with all applicable terms that we may require for Listing Users to agree to for use of the Company API from time to time; and (b) Customers to search and reserve available Venues (a “Reservation”). In response to a Customer’s online request for a Reservation, Company contacts the Venue’s computerized database of reservations. The availability of Reservations is determined at the time of Customer’s query and based on information provided to Company by a Listing User. Once a Reservation is made by Customer through the Service, Company will provide confirmation of the Reservation by email or other electronic messages as has been agreed to by Customer. By using the Service, Customer agrees to receive Reservation confirmations, updates, modifications and/or cancellations by email or other electronic messages. After making a Reservation, the Customer can then communicate with each such Listing User regarding the details of a potential transaction between them, which may include a requirement that the Customer accept a Venue Agreement (as defined below in Section 1). Note that use of the Service is open to the general public, and the Company does not screen in any manner any Service users. Company makes no representations or warranties that a Reservation will lead to a successful event booking at any Venue, and you acknowledge and agree that a final booking is dependent upon the Customer’s meeting of all applicable requirements (such as insurance coverage and timely submission of all necessary data to the Listing User) and, where applicable, entry into a Vendor Agreement.
