If the impediment is temporary, the performance of the obligation shall be suspended until the Party invoking the force majeure is no longer prevented by the force majeure event. The Party invoking force majeure shall keep the other Party informed and shall use its best efforts to limit the duration of the suspension. In the event that the suspension continues beyond a period of three (3) months, either Party shall have the option of terminating the Subscription without compensation by notifying the other Party of its decision by registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt.

SECTION 18: ENTIRE AGREEMENT CLAUSE

The Subscription as well as the hereby Terms express the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to its subject matter, and prevail all prior agreements, whether oral or written, between the Parties (and the companies to whose rights they come) with respect to the representation in the Territory of the Products and Services.

Finally, by express agreement between the Parties, the provisions of Article 1195 of the French Civil Code shall not apply to the contract between the Parties. The Parties intend to continue the performance of the contract under the conditions initially agreed notwithstanding the occurrence of any change in circumstances unforeseeable at the time of the conclusion of the contract and which would make its performance excessively onerous for one of the Parties. The Parties therefore expressly agree to bear the risk.

ARTICLE 19. PARTIAL INVALIDITY

The possible invalidity of one or more clauses of the hereby Terms shall not affect its other stipulations which shall continue to have full and complete effect.

In the event that the execution of one or more of the clauses of the hreby Terms would be made impossible because of its cancellation, the Parties will try to come closer in order to establish a new clause whose spirit and letter will be as close as possible to the old clause, the other stipulations remaining in force.

ARTICLE 20: TITLES

In case of difficulty of interpretation between the title and the chapter of any of the articles and any of the clauses, the titles shall be deemed not to have been written.

ARTICLE 21: NON-WAIVER

The fact that one of the Parties to these Terms has not required the application of any clause, whether permanently or temporarily, shall in no case be considered as a waiver of the rights of that Party arising from the said clause.

ARTICLE 22. GOVERNING LAW

By express agreement between the Parties, the hereby Terms are subject to French law.

The Terms are written in French language. In the event that they are translated into one or more languages, only the French text will be deemed legally binding in the event of a dispute.

ARTICLE 23. LITIGATION

In order to find a solution to any dispute that may arise in the execution of the hereby Terms, the Parties agree to meet within thirty (30) days from the sending of a registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt, notified by one of the two Parties.

This settlement procedure constitutes a mandatory prerequisite to the initiation of legal proceedings between the Parties. Any legal action brought in violation of this clause shall be declared inadmissible.

However, if at the end of a period of thirty (30) days, the Parties are unable to agree on a agreement or a solution, the dispute shall be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the jurisdiction of the Company's registered office.

ARTICLE 24: ADDRESSES FOR SERVICE

For the performance of the present contract as well as its consequences, the Parties respectively state as their addresses for service at their registered offices or addresses indicated at the head of the hereby contract. Any change in the registered office or address of one of the Parties shall not be binding on the other Party until it has been duly notified by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt.
