11.1 BY TALVISTA. TalVista will defend at its expense any suit brought against you, and will pay any settlement TalVista makes or approves, or any damages finally awarded in such suit, insofar as such suit is based on a claim by any third party alleging that the Service misappropriates any trade secret recognized under the Uniform Trade Secrets Act or infringes any United States copyright.

11.2 BY YOU. You will defend at your expense any suit brought against TalVista and will pay any settlement you make or approve or any damages finally awarded in such suit insofar as such suit is based on a claim by any third party based upon, resulting from or related to any improper or unauthorized use of the Service by you or your Users.

12. TERMINATION.
12.1 TERM. These Terms will commence on the date you register for the Service continue for the longer the Free License Term or the Subscription Term (if applicable), unless terminated earlier by either you or TalVista as set forth below (the “Term”).
12.2 TERMINATION BY TALVISTA. TalVista may at any time terminate these Terms with you if (a) you have breached any provision of these Terms (or have acted in a manner that clearly shows you do not intend to, or are unable to, comply with these Terms); (b) TalVista is required to do so by law (for example, where the provision of the Site or Service to you is, or becomes, unlawful); (c) the provision of the Service to you by TalVista is, in TalVista’s opinion, no longer commercially viable; or (d) TalVista has elected to discontinue the Site or the Service (or any part thereof). Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time during the Free License Term, TalVista may, in its sole discretion and without cause or notice, restrict, limit or block any User or Company from accessing or using the Site or Service.
12.3 EFFECT OF TERMINATION. Termination of your account includes: (a) removal of access to all offerings within the Service; (b) deletion of your password and all related information; and (c) barring of further use of the Service. Upon expiration or termination, you shall promptly discontinue use of the Site and the Service. However, the sections titled IP Ownership, Payment, Customer Content License, Content Loss, Third Party Content, Limited Warranty and Disclaimer, Limitation of Liability, Indemnification, Termination and Miscellaneous of these Terms will survive any termination or expiration of these Terms.
13. MISCELLANEOUS.
13.1 GOVERNING LAW AND VENUE. These Terms and any action related thereto will be governed and interpreted by and under the laws of the State of NEVADA, without giving effect to any conflicts of laws principles that require the application of the law of a different jurisdiction. You hereby expressly consent to the personal jurisdiction and venue in the state and federal courts for the county in which TalVista’s principal place of business is located for any lawsuit filed there against you by TalVista arising from or related to these Terms. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to these Terms.
13.2 COMPLIANCE WITH LAW. TalVista and its suppliers make no representation that the Service is appropriate or available for use in locations other than the United States. If you use the Service from outside the United States, you are solely responsible for compliance with all applicable laws, including without limitation export and import regulations of other countries.

If any provision of these Terms is, for any reason, held to be invalid or unenforceable, the other provisions of these Terms will remain enforceable and the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed modified so that it is valid and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you agree that the section titled Limitation of Liability will remain in effect notwithstanding the unenforceability of any provision in the section titled Limited Warranty and Disclaimer. Any waiver or failure to enforce any provision of these Terms on one occasion will not be deemed a waiver of any other provision or of such provision on any other occasion.
13.4 REMEDIES. The parties acknowledge that any actual or threatened breach of the section titled License Grant and Restrictions will constitute immediate, irreparable harm to the non-breaching party for which monetary damages would be an inadequate remedy, and that injunctive relief is an appropriate remedy for such breach.

13.5 NO ASSIGNMENT. Neither party shall assign or otherwise transfer these Terms, or its rights and obligations herein, without obtaining the prior written consent of the other party, and any attempted assignment, subcontract, delegation, or transfer in violation of the foregoing will be null and void; provided, however, that either party may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, change of control, or similar such transaction, or reorganization or sale of all or substantially all of its assets, or other operation of law (each, a “Change of Control”), without any consent of the other party.
