2. THE SUBSCRIPTION SERVICE

2.1 During the Term and subject to these Terms and Conditions, DocuSign will provide the Subscription Service in accordance with the Specifications, and Subscriber will have the right to obtain an Account and register its Authorized Users, who may access and use the Subscription Service. The right to use the Subscription Service is: (a) limited to its Authorized Users (accordingly, Subscriber may not resell or otherwise provide or assist with the provision of the Subscription Service to any third party); and (b) conditioned on Subscriber’s acknowledgement and agreement with the following:

i) Nothing in this Agreement will be construed to make DocuSign a party to any eContract, and DocuSign makes no representation or warranty regarding the transactions sought to be effected by any eContract;

ii) DocuSign maintains no control of or access to the contents of any eContract, and so the content, quality, and format of any eContract is at all times in the exclusive control and responsibility of Subscriber;

iii) If Subscriber elects to use optional features designed to verify the identity of the intended recipient of an eContract (“Authentication Measures”), DocuSign will apply only those Authentication Measures (if any) selected by the Subscriber, but makes no representations or warranties about the appropriateness of any Authentication Measure and further, assumes no liability for the inability or failure by the intended recipient or other party to satisfy the Authentication Measure or to circumvent it;

iv) Certain types of agreements and documents are excepted from electronic signature laws, such that they cannot be legally formed by electronic signatures, and additionally, various agencies may have promulgated specific regulations that apply to electronic signatures and electronic records. DocuSign assumes no responsibility to determine whether any particular eContract is an exception to applicable electronic signature laws, or whether it is subject to any particular agency promulgations, or whether it can be legally formed by electronic signatures;

v) Subscriber is solely responsible for making available to third parties (including all parties to its eContracts) all contracts, documents, and other records required by applicable law, including, without limitation, electronic signature laws and other laws that may require records relating to a transaction to be retained or made accessible for a certain period of time;

vi) Certain laws or regulations impose special requirements with respect to electronic transactions involving one or more “consumers,” such as (among others) requirements that the consumer consent to the method of contracting and/or that the consumer be provided with a copy, or access to a copy, of a paper or other non-electronic, written record of the transaction. DocuSign assumes no responsibility to: (A) determine whether any particular transaction involves a consumer; (B) furnish or obtain any such consents or to determine if any such consents have been withdrawn; (C) provide any information or disclosures in connection with any attempt to obtain any such consents; (D) provide legal review of, or to update or correct any information or disclosures currently or previously given; (E) provide any such copies or access except as expressly provided in the Specifications for all transactions, consumer or otherwise; or (F) otherwise to comply with any such special requirements; and

vii) Subscriber expressly undertakes to determine whether any consumer is involved in any eContract presented by its Authorized Users for Processing, and, if so, to comply with all requirements imposed by law on such eContracts or their formation.

3. SUBSCRIPTION PLANS AND USAGE PRICING

3.1 The pricing, features and options of the DocuSign Products selected by Subscriber are set forth in the Order Form. The Subscription Service is sold on a subscription basis and may be limited by usage (“Envelope Allowance”), or by the number of Authorized Users (“Seats”), or both. Optional features, such as Authentication Measures or fax-back services, may be purchased on a periodic or per-use basis.

3.2 If Subscriber selects an Envelope Allowance Subscription, then Subscriber is allowed to send the number of Envelopes in the Envelope Allowance specified in the Order Form during the Term. All Envelopes sent in excess of the Envelope Allowance will incur a per-Envelope charge that will be invoiced within 30 days of the date first incurred. The total number of Envelopes used is based on the sum of all Envelopes that have been sent for signature or for certified delivery from the Account. An Envelope will be deemed consumed at the time it is sent by an Authorized User, whether or not it has been received by the recipients or the recipients have performed any actions upon any eContract in the Envelope.

3.3 If Subscriber selects a Seat Subscription, then Subscriber is allowed to manually send Envelopes from the number of Seats specified in the Order Form during the Term. A Seat is defined as a natural person manually preparing and sending Envelopes, and excludes the Processing of Envelopes using automated batch or bulk sending operations, or the use of the DocuSign API for sending Envelopes. If the number of Envelopes sent from a particular Seat or a group of Seats is abusive and/or unduly burdensome (indicating automated Processing), DocuSign will promptly notify Subscriber and the parties will review the use-case scenario as well as any continued monitoring and additional Seats that may be required to be purchased. The number of Seats is determined by the total number of active Authorized Users listed in the membership of an Account at any one time. No two individuals may log onto or use the Subscription Service as the same Authorized User, but Subscriber may unregister or deactivate Authorized Users and replace them with other Authorized Users without penalty, so long as the number of active Authorized Users registered at any one time is equal to or less than the number of Seats purchased. The addition by Subscriber of more Authorized Users than the number of Seats purchased in an Order Form will result in an additional charge for one Seat per additional Authorized User for the remainder of the Term, to be invoiced immediately.

4. ADDITIONAL SUBSCRIBER RESPONSIBILITIES

4.1 Subscriber agrees that it will not use or permit the use of the Subscription Service to send unsolicited mass mailings outside its organization, it being understood that the term “unsolicited mass mailings” includes all statutory and other common definitions, including all Commercial Electronic Marketing Messages as defined in the U.S. CAN SPAM Act.

4.2 Subscriber agrees that it is solely responsible for the nature and content of all materials, works, data, statements, and other visual, graphical, video, written or audible communications of any nature submitted by any Authorized User or otherwise Processed through its Account.

4.3 Subscriber further agrees not to use or permit the use of the Subscription Service: (a) to communicate any message or material that is defamatory, harassing, libelous, threatening, or obscene; (b) in a way that violates or infringes upon the intellectual property rights or the privacy or publicity rights of any person or entity or that may otherwise be unlawful or give rise to civil or criminal liability (other than contractual liability of the parties under eContracts Processed through the Subscription Service); (c) in any manner that is likely to damage, disable, overburden, or impair the System or the Subscription Service or interfere in any way with the use or enjoyment of the Subscription Service by others; or (d) in any way that constitutes or encourages conduct that could constitute a criminal offense.

4.4 Although DocuSign does not monitor the content Processed through the Subscription Service, DocuSign may at any time suspend any use of the Subscription Service and/or remove or disable any content as to which DocuSign reasonably and in good faith believes is in violation of this Agreement. DocuSign agrees to provide Subscriber with notice of any such suspension or disablement before its implementation unless such suspension or disablement is necessary to comply with legal process or prevent imminent harm to DocuSign’s System, the Subscription Service or any third party, in which case DocuSign will notify Subscriber of such suspension or disablement as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter.

5. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND TRADEMARK LICENSE

5.1 DocuSign is the owner of various intellectual property and technology rights associated with the Subscription Service, its document management, digital signature, and notary system, including patent, copyright, trade secret, and trademark and service mark rights. Except for the rights expressly granted in this Agreement, DocuSign does not license or transfer to Subscriber or any Authorized User or other third party any of DocuSign’s technology or other intellectual property or technology rights. All right, title, and interest in and to DocuSign’s technology and intellectual property will remain solely with DocuSign. Subscriber agrees that it will not, directly or indirectly, reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive source code or other trade secrets from or about any of the DocuSign Products or DocuSign’s technology. DocuSign agrees that data and information provided by Subscriber under this Agreement shall remain, as between Subscriber and DocuSign, owned by Subscriber.

5.2 DocuSign hereby grants to users and licensees of its products and services a limited, revocable, nonexclusive and nontransferable right to use DocuSign’s regular trade names, trademarks, titles and logos (“Licensed Marks”) solely for purposes of identifying DocuSign’s products and services. Details of this trademark license are available at: http://www.docusign.com/trademark-license.

6. CUSTOMER SUPPORT

DocuSign will provide customer support to Subscriber in accordance with the package that is identified on the Order Form, as further detailed at http://www.docusign.com/products/support-plans.

7. eCONTRACT STORAGE AND DELETION

7.1 DocuSign will store in accordance with the Specifications all completed eContracts sent by Subscriber until the termination or expiration of the Agreement, unless otherwise directed by Subscriber. Copies of stored eContracts may be retrieved by Subscriber at any time during that period, provided that following the expiration or termination of the Agreement, Subscriber may request DocuSign’s assistance in retrieving completed eContracts still remaining on the System pursuant to the transition services terms described in Section 9.4.

7.2 Prior to the expiration or termination of this Agreement, Subscriber may elect to purchase post-expiration or post-termination storage services for their completed eContracts. Where Subscriber opts not to purchase storage services, all copies of eContracts may be deleted by DocuSign without prior notice after the period available for transition services has expired pursuant to the terms described in Section 9.4. Subscriber may, at its option and wholly at Subscriber’s risk, direct that any eContract be deleted at a time stated by Subscriber and prior to the end of the Term.

7.3 DocuSign may at its sole discretion delete an uncompleted eContract from the System immediately and without notice upon earlier of: a) expiration of the Envelope (where Subscriber has established an expiration for such Envelope, not to exceed 365 days); or b) expiration of the Term.

7.4 DocuSign will retain the Transaction Data permanently, provided that any Transaction Data that constitutes Confidential Information of Subscriber will at all times maintain that status and DocuSign will comply with its obligations in Section 13.

8. FEES AND PAYMENT TERMS

8.1 Subscriber will pay DocuSign the amounts set forth in each Order Form. An Order Form is not binding until it is executed by both DocuSign and Subscriber, at which point it will be deemed to be incorporated into this Agreement. Unless otherwise specified in an applicable Order Form, the first invoice will be submitted to Subscriber within 30 days after the Order Start Date, and Subscriber will pay all amounts due within 30 days of the date of the applicable invoice.

8.2 If Subscriber’s usage under an Envelope Allowance Subscription exceeds the Envelope Allowance prior to the end of the Term, the unpaid balance of the Order Form for such Envelope Allowance Subscription shall become immediately due and payable.

8.3 Any undisputed amount not paid when due will be subject to finance charges equal to 1.5% of the unpaid balance per month or the highest rate permitted by applicable usury law, whichever is less, determined and compounded daily from the date due until the date paid. Subscriber will reimburse any costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by DocuSign to collect any undisputed amount that is not paid when due. DocuSign may accept any check or payment in any amount without prejudice to DocuSign’s right to recover the balance of the amount due or to pursue any other right or remedy. Amounts due to DocuSign under this Agreement may not be withheld or offset by Subscriber for any reason against amounts due or asserted to be due to Subscriber from DocuSign. All amounts payable under this Agreement are denominated in United States dollars, and Subscriber will pay all such amounts in United States dollars.

8.4 Taxes. Other than federal and state net income taxes imposed on DocuSign by the United States, Subscriber will bear all taxes, duties, and other governmental charges (collectively, “taxes”) resulting from this Agreement or transactions conducted in relation to this Agreement or the DocuSign Products. If a tax is imposed on DocuSign by a jurisdiction outside the United States, Subscriber will not be obligated to bear that tax to the extent: (a) the tax is allowable as a credit against the United States federal income taxes of DocuSign; (b) Subscriber reduces such tax to the extent possible, giving effect to the applicable Income Tax Convention between the United States and other jurisdictions; and (c) Subscriber furnishes DocuSign with such evidence as the United States taxing authorities may require to claim the credit. Subscriber will pay any additional taxes as are necessary to ensure that the net amounts received and retained by DocuSign after all such taxes are paid are equal to the amounts that DocuSign would have been entitled to in accordance with this Agreement as if the taxes did not exist.

9. TERM AND TERMINATION

9.1 Term. Unless sooner terminated as stated below, and subject to Section 17 with respect to Work Orders (as defined below), the effectiveness of this Agreement will commence upon the Order Start Date and will continue for the term specified on the Order Form (the “Term”).

9.2 Termination for Cause. If either party commits a material breach or default in the performance of any of its obligations under this Agreement, then the other party may terminate this Agreement by giving the defaulting party written notice of termination if the material breach or default in performance is not cured within 30 days after the defaulting party receives notice thereof. Without limiting the foregoing, any failure by Subscriber to timely pay to DocuSign any amounts owing under this Agreement will constitute a material breach of this Agreement. If Subscriber fails to timely pay any amounts due for services to be performed by DocuSign, then without limitation to any of its other rights or remedies, DocuSign may suspend performance of such services until it receives all amounts due.

9.3 Post-Termination Obligations. If this Agreement expires or is terminated for any reason: (a) Subscriber will pay to DocuSign any amounts required to be paid under this Agreement that have accrued prior to, and remain unpaid as of, the date of termination or expiration (including Subscription fees, which become due upon termination of this Agreement as set forth in an Order Form, and any one-time or recurring fees through the end of the billing cycle in which termination occurs); (b) any and all liabilities accrued prior to the effective date of the termination will survive; (c) Subscriber will destroy all copies of DocuSign software, documentation, and materials within five business days of such termination, and immediately thereafter, if requested by DocuSign, provide DocuSign with a written certification signed by an authorized Subscriber representative certifying that all copies of software, documentation, and materials have been destroyed; (d) licenses to use DocuSign software and the provision of DocuSign services will immediately end; and (e) the parties’ rights and obligations under Sections 1, 7.4, 9.3, 9.4, 10.3, and 11 through 14 will survive.

9.4 Transition Services. Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason, at Subscriber’s request and at DocuSign’s then-current standard professional services rates plus expenses, DocuSign shall provide reasonable transition services for a period not to exceed 90 days to assist Subscriber in moving Subscriber’s data to another provider or exporting eContracts to external media. As part of such transition services, DocuSign shall at a minimum transfer, and cause any of its independent contractors to transfer, all data and electronic files associated with the Subscription Service. At its then-current standard professional services rates, DocuSign shall at Subscriber’s request further cooperate with Subscriber in the development of a transition plan and shall use reasonable efforts to assist Subscriber and/or another service provider in the transition. DocuSign may at its discretion require advance payment or other adequate security for payment as DocuSign may consider appropriate in connection with or as a condition to the provision of services described in this section.

10. WARRANTIES AND DISCLAIMERS

10.1 DocuSign Warranties. DocuSign represents and warrants that: (a) the Subscription Service as delivered to Subscriber and used in accordance with the Specifications will not infringe on any United States patent, copyright or trade secret; (b) the Subscription Service shall be performed in accordance with the Specifications in their then-current form at the time of the provision of such Subscription Service; (c) any DocuSign Products that are software shall be free of harmful or illicit code, trapdoors, viruses, or other harmful features; (d) the proper use of the Subscription Service by Subscriber in accordance with the Specifications and applicable law in the formation of an eContract not involving any consumer will be sufficient under the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, 15 U.S.C. §§ 7001 et seq. (the “ESIGN Act”) to support the validity of such formation, to the extent provided in the ESIGN Act; (e) the proper use of the Subscription Service by Subscriber in accordance with the Specifications and applicable law in the formation of an eContract involving a consumer will be sufficient under the ESIGN Act to support the validity of such formation, to the extent provided in the ESIGN Act, so long as and provided that Subscriber complies with all special requirements for consumer eContracts, including and subject to those referenced in Section 2.1(vi) and (vii) above; and (f) DocuSign has implemented information security policies and safeguards to preserve the security, integrity, and confidentiality of Personal Data and to protect against unauthorized access and anticipated threats or hazards thereto, that meet the objectives of the Interagency Guidelines Establishing Standards for Safeguarding Customer Information as set forth in Section 501 (b) of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act.

SUBSCRIBER WILL NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO MAKE OR PASS ON ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY ON BEHALF OF DOCUSIGN TO ANY THIRD PARTY.

DocuSign will defend Subscriber, and its employees, directors, agents, and representatives (“Indemnified Party”) from any actual or threatened third party claim arising from: (a) any breach by DocuSign of its confidentiality obligations in Section 13, and/or (b) alleged infringement by DocuSign of any third party intellectual property rights (each a “Subscriber Claim”).

11.2 By Subscriber. Subscriber will defend DocuSign, and its employees, directors, agents, and representatives (“Indemnified Party”) from any actual or threatened third party claim arising from: (a) any breach by Subscriber of its confidentiality obligations in Section 13, and/or (b) alleged infringement by Subscriber of any third party intellectual property rights, and/or (c) the content submitted by any Authorized User or otherwise Processed through Subscriber’s Account (each a “DocuSign Claim”).

11.3 Procedures. The parties’ respective indemnification obligations above are conditioned on: (a) the Indemnified Party gives the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice of the Subscriber Claim or DocuSign Claim (as the case may be, a “Claim”); (b) the Indemnifying Party has full and complete control over the defense and settlement of the Claim; (c) the Indemnified Party provides assistance in connection with the defense and settlement of the Claim as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request; and (d) the Indemnified Party complies with any settlement or court order made in connection with the Claim.

12. LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY

12.1 Disclaimer of Consequential Damages. EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS OF SECTION 11, NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT, NEITHER PARTY WILL, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT (INCLUDING WITH RESPECT TO CONSULTING SERVICES, IF ANY), INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LOST PROFITS OR LOSS OF BUSINESS, EVEN IF APPRISED OF THE LIKELIHOOD OF SUCH DAMAGES OCCURRING.

12.2 Cap on Liability. EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS OF SECTION 11, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL EITHER PARTY’S TOTAL LIABILITY OF ALL KINDS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, WARRANTY CLAIMS AND WITH RESPECT TO CONSULTING SERVICES, IF ANY), REGARDLESS OF THE FORUM AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER ANY ACTION OR CLAIM IS BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAID BY SUBSCRIBER TO DOCUSIGN UNDER THIS AGREEMENT DURING THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE DATE OF THE ACTION OR CLAIM.

12.3 Independent Allocations of Risk. EACH PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT THAT PROVIDES FOR A LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES, OR EXCLUSION OF DAMAGES REPRESENTS AN AGREED ALLOCATION OF THE RISKS OF THIS AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES. THIS ALLOCATION IS REFLECTED IN THE PRICING OFFERED BY DOCUSIGN TO SUBSCRIBER AND IS AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN THE PARTIES. EACH OF THESE PROVISIONS IS SEVERABLE AND INDEPENDENT OF ALL OTHER PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT, AND EACH OF THESE PROVISIONS WILL APPLY EVEN IF THE WARRANTIES IN THIS AGREEMENT HAVE FAILED OF THEIR ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

13. CONFIDENTIALITY

13.1 “Confidential Information” means any trade secrets or other information of DocuSign or Subscriber, whether of a technical, business, or other nature (including, without limitation, in the case of DocuSign, DocuSign software and related information, and in the case of Subscriber, Personal Data and eContracts), that is disclosed to the other party (the “Recipient”). Confidential Information does not include any information that: (a) was known to Recipient prior to receiving it from the disclosing party; (b) is independently developed by Recipient without use of or reference to any Confidential Information of the other party; (c) is acquired by Recipient from another source that did not receive it in confidence from the other party to this Agreement; or (d) is or becomes part of the public domain through no fault or action of Recipient.

13.2 Restricted Use and Nondisclosure. During and after the Term, Recipient will: (a) use the Confidential Information of the other party solely for the purpose for which it is provided; (b) not disclose such Confidential Information to a third party; and (c) protect such Confidential Information from unauthorized use and disclosure to the same extent (but using no less than a reasonable degree of care) that it protects its own Confidential Information of a similar nature.

13.3 Required Disclosure. If Recipient is required by law to disclose Confidential Information of the other party or the terms of this Agreement, Recipient must give prompt written notice of such requirement before such disclosure and assist the disclosing party to obtain where reasonably available an order protecting the Confidential Information from public disclosure.

13.4 Return of Materials. Except for as provided in Section 7.4, upon written request by the disclosing party, Recipient will destroy or deliver to the disclosing party all of the disclosing party’s Confidential Information that Recipient may have in its possession or control.

13.5 Ownership. Recipient acknowledges that, as between the parties, all Confidential Information it receives from the disclosing party, including all copies thereof in Recipient’s possession or control, in any media, is proprietary to and exclusively owned by the disclosing party. Nothing in this Agreement grants Recipient any right, title or interest in or to any of the disclosing party’s Confidential Information. Recipient’s incorporation of the disclosing party’s Confidential Information into any of its own materials shall not render Confidential Information non-confidential.

13.6 Remedies. Recipient acknowledges that any actual or threatened violation of this confidentiality provision may cause irreparable, non-monetary injury to the disclosing party, the extent of which may be difficult to ascertain, and therefore agrees that the disclosing party shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief in addition to all remedies available to the disclosing party at law and/or in equity. Absent written consent of the disclosing party, the burden of proving that the disclosing party’s Confidential Information is not, or is no longer, confidential or a trade secret shall be on the Recipient.

13.7 Existing Obligations. The obligations in this Section 13 are in addition to, and supplement, each party’s obligations of confidentiality under applicable law and/or under any nondisclosure or other agreement between the parties.

14. GENERAL

14.1 Relationship. At all times, the parties are independent actors, and are not the agent or representative of the other. This Agreement is not intended to create a joint venture, partnership, or franchise relationship, or give rise to any third party beneficiary. Subscriber must not represent to anyone that Subscriber is an agent of DocuSign or is otherwise authorized to bind or commit DocuSign in any way without DocuSign’s prior authorization.

14.2 Assignability. Subscriber may not assign its rights, duties, or obligations under this Agreement without DocuSign’s prior written consent. If consent is given, this Agreement will bind Subscriber’s successors and assigns. Any attempt by Subscriber to transfer its rights, duties, or obligations under this Agreement except as expressly provided in this Agreement is void. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may assign this Agreement to a successor of its business without the other party’s consent.

14.3 Nonsolicitation. During the Term of this Agreement and for a period of one year thereafter, Subscriber will not, directly or indirectly, employ or solicit the employment or services of a DocuSign employee or independent contractor without the prior written consent of DocuSign.

14.4 Notices. Any notice required or permitted to be given in accordance with this Agreement will be effective if it is in writing and sent using: (a) the “acknowledge receipt” function of the Subscription Service; (b) by certified or registered mail; or (c) insured courier, to the appropriate party at the address set forth on the Order Form. Either party may change its address for receipt of notice by notice to the other party in accordance with this Section. Notices are deemed given upon receipt if delivered using the Subscription Service, two business days following the date of mailing, or one business day following delivery to a courier.

14.5 Force Majeure. Except for any payment obligations, neither party will be liable for, or be considered to be in breach of or default under this Agreement on account of, any delay or failure to perform as required by this Agreement as a result of any cause or condition beyond such party’s reasonable control, so long as such party uses all commercially reasonable efforts to avoid or remove such causes of non-performance or delay.

14.6 Dispute Resolution. In the event of any dispute regarding any right or obligation under this Agreement, the aggrieved party shall notify the other party in a writing describing the dispute (“Notice of Dispute”). Upon receipt of the Notice of Dispute, the parties shall arrange a meeting between their representatives. Over a period not to exceed 10 business days after receipt of Notice of Dispute (“Period”), the parties shall engage in good faith negotiations to resolve such dispute. If the parties’ representatives are unable to resolve the dispute at such meetings during the Period, then each party may seek any remedies available to it in law or equity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek injunctive relief at any time. Each party hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement.

14.7 Governing Law. This Agreement will be interpreted, construed, and enforced in all respects in accordance with the local laws of the State of Washington, U.S.A., without reference to its choice of law rules to the contrary. The provisions of the 1980 U.N. Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods are expressly excluded and do not apply to this Agreement. Any legal action by Subscriber arising under this Agreement must be initiated within two years after the cause of action arises.

14.8 Waiver. The waiver by either party of any breach of any provision of this Agreement does not waive any other breach. The failure of any party to insist on strict performance of any covenant or obligation in accordance with this Agreement will not be a waiver of such party’s right to demand strict compliance in the future, nor will the same be construed as a novation of this Agreement.

14.9 Severability. If any part of this Agreement is found to be illegal, unenforceable, or invalid, the remaining portions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect. If any material limitation or restriction on the grant of any license to Subscriber under this Agreement is found to be illegal, unenforceable, or invalid, the license will immediately terminate.

14.10 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of identical counterparts, notwithstanding that the parties have not signed the same counterpart, with the same effect as if the parties had signed the same document. All counterparts will be construed as and constitute the same agreement.

14.11 Entire Agreement. This Agreement is the final and complete expression of the agreement between these parties regarding the DocuSign Products. This Agreement supersedes, and the terms of this Agreement govern, all previous oral and written communications regarding these matters. This Agreement may be changed only by a written agreement signed by an authorized agent of both parties.
