In the event of any conflict between the provisions of the above paragraphs of Article VIII and other provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of the above paragraphs of Article VIII of this Agreement shall prevail.
IX. Sanctions and export controls
The “software”(if any) contained in the Service together with its relevant technologies, materials and services, and any purchase, licensing, download, installation and use thereof may be subject to economic sanctions and export control laws and regulations (collectively, “Trade Control Laws and Regulations”) imposed by China and other countries and regions. The “software” shall not be used for any purpose prohibited by relevant Trade Control Laws and Regulations, including but not limited to the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, such as nuclear, chemical or biological weapons, and terrorist activities. The “software” shall not, under certain circumstances, be exported, re-exported, transferred or resold to entities, organizations or individuals that are prohibited or restricted from participating in trade activities by applicable Trade Control Laws and Regulations, or entities, organizations directly or indirectly, individually or jointly owned by such entities, organizations or individuals by more than 50% of the shares and the destination under sanction. By purchasing, downloading, installing and/or using the Service, you agree to all of the above terms, and you hereby state and warrant: 1) You will comply with all applicable Trade Control Laws and Regulations; 2) you are not any entity, organization or individual that is prohibited or restricted by any trade control law from participating in trade activities or any entity or organization that is directly or indirectly, individually or jointly held by such entity, organization or individual by 50% or more of the shares; 3) you are not located or residing in the sanctioned destination specified by Trade Control Laws and Regulations; 4) you will not use the Service for any purpose prohibited by all applicable Trade Control Laws and Regulations. Otherwise, the Service provided to you by WPS Office will automatically terminate upon your breach of any of the above statements or warranties, and you shall immediately notify WPS Office and stop using the Service. WPS Office has the right to discontinue services to you without any liability, refund or compensation, and to hold you fully responsible and indemnify WPS Office for any and all losses and damages it suffered as a result of your breach of any of the foregoing statements or warranties.
X. Notice
All notices to you and/or the organization you represent (if any) can be sent via email or regular in-site letters or portal announcements.
The notice shall be deemed to have been delivered to the addressee on the date of sending or announcement. WPS Office will not be held responsible for any failure to receive notifications sent by WPS Office due to special reasons (including but not limited to: the contact email provided by you is invalid, or is equipped with email filtering and email blocking functions).
XI. Governing law and dispute resolution
This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, without regard to or application of the conflict of law rules or principles, and shall not apply the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sales of Goods (CISG) either.
You and we agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating in any way to this Agreement, shall be submitted to the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (HKIAC) for arbitration which shall be conducted in accordance with the HKIAC's arbitration rules in effect at the time of applying for arbitration.
Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, allows for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. You agree that, by agreeing to this Agreement, you and we are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of this Agreement and the termination of your licenses. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of this Agreement. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including issues relating to the scope and enforceability of this arbitration agreement.
YOU AND WE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and we agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims with your claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual claim.
XII. Miscellaneous
The English version is the official version of this Agreement, and other language versions (if any) of this Agreement are provided for your reference only. Should there be any discrepancy between the English version and version of any other language, the English version shall prevail.
You may not assign or transfer this Agreement or any rights granted hereunder, by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of WPS Office, and any attempt by you to do so, without such consent, will be void.
Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under this Agreement will be without prejudice to its other remedies under this Agreement or otherwise.
The failure by either party to enforce any provision hereof will not constitute a waiver of future enforcement of that or any other provision.
If any provision of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable or invalid, it will be executed to the fullest extent possible, whilst the other provisions shall remain in effect.
With respect to term “you” and “organization you represent”, when you represent an organization, difference between plural verb or singular verb used regarding the “you” and “organization you represent” shall be overlooked, also the term “you”, whether used together with “organization you represent” or not, shall includes “organization you represent”.
By now, you confirm that you have read and understood this Agreement and agree to use the Service subject to the terms and conditions.
