9.2. Force Majeure. In no event shall we be liable to you, or be deemed to have breached the Agreement, for any failure or delay in performing our obligations under the Agreement, if and to the extent such failure or delay is caused by any circumstance beyond our reasonable control, including, but not limited to: flood, fire, hurricane, earthquake, pandemic, other acts of God or of nature, civil unrest, terrorism, war, third-party criminal or willful cyber-related acts, any action taken by a government authority or other public authority (such as imposing an embargo), or international, national, or regional shortage of adequate power, telecommunications capacity, or transportation (each a “Force Majeure Event”).

However, if we can no longer reasonably provide the Subscription Services to you under the terms prior to modification (for example, if the modifications are required by law or result from general product changes), then the Agreement and/or affected Subscription Services will terminate upon our notice to you and we will promptly refund any applicable prepaid but unused Fees.
9.5. Assignment. Neither party shall assign any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other party; provided, however, we may assign our rights or delegate our obligations, in whole or in part and without such consent, to an entity that acquires all or substantially all of our business or assets, whether by merger, reorganization, acquisition, sale, or otherwise.

The parties agree the Agreement will not be construed in favor of or against either party by reason of authorship.
9.7. Governing Law. The Agreement is governed solely by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the state of Oregon without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law principle that would apply the laws of any other jurisdiction to the parties’ rights and duties.
