16. INJUNCTIVE RELIEF.

You acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding any other provisions of the TOS, your breach or threatened breach of the TOS shall cause Blueclone irreparable damage for which recovery of money damages would be inadequate and that Blueclone, therefore, may obtain timely injunctive relief to protect its rights under this TOS in addition to any and all other remedies available by law or in equity.

17. TERMINATION.

Blueclone has the right to terminate your account, your registration, the Blueclone Service, and/or access to the Blueclone Service for any reason, including, without limitation, if it, in its sole discretion, considers your use to be unacceptable, or in the event of any breach by you of the TOS (either directly or through breach of any other terms and conditions or operating rules applicable to you), with or without notice.

18. ELECTRONIC DELIVERY POLICY.

Blueclone, as a “Green” company, transacts with its users electronically when possible. WHEN YOU SIGN UP OR REGISTER FOR ANY BLUECLONE SERVICE, YOU CONSENT TO RECEIVE ELECTRONICALLY FROM BLUECLONE ANY PRIVACY OR OTHER NOTICES, AGREEMENTS, DISCLOSURES, REPORTS, DOCUMENTS, COMMUNICATIONS, OR OTHER RECORDS (COLLECTIVELY, “NOTICES”). You agree that Blueclone generally can send you electronic Notices in any of the following ways: (1) to the email address that you provided to Blueclone during registration, (2) to any secondary email account you provided to Blueclone, (3) via software alerts and remote management agents, or (4) Blueclone may post Notices on a welcoming screen or initial pages of the relevant Blueclone Service. You must check your designated email address regularly for Notices. You must have a computer or server connected to a communications source (telephone, wireless or broadband), a Linux or Windows-based operating system with an Internet browser and Internet email software in order to access electronic communications. You will need a printer attached to your business or personal computer to print any Notices or encryption keys. The delivery of any Notice from Blueclone is effective when sent by Blueclone, regardless of whether you read the Notice when you receive it or whether you actually receive delivery. Blueclone strongly recommends adding the blueclone.com domain to the “allow” and/or “White list” of every firewall, anti-spam system, anti-virus system and junk mail filters that may process email before reaching your email client. Your only method of withdrawing consent to receive Notices electronically is to terminate any subscriptions, Blueclone Service or other products provided under these TOS.

19. CHOICE OF LAW AND LOCATION FOR RESOLVING DISPUTES.

You agree that the law of the State of New Jersey, U.S.A. governs this contract and any claim or dispute that you may have against Blueclone, without regard to New Jersey’s conflict of laws rules, and that the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall have no applicability. You further agree that any disputes or claims that you may have against Blueclone will be resolved by a court located in the State of New Jersey, County of Mercer.
PLEASE NOTE THAT BY AGREEING TO THESE TOS, YOU ARE: (1) WAIVING CLAIMS THAT YOU MIGHT OTHERWISE HAVE AGAINST BLUECLONE BASED ON THE LAWS OF OTHER JURISDICTIONS, INCLUDING YOUR OWN; (2) IRREVOCABLY CONSENTING TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF, AND VENUE IN, STATE OR FEDERAL COURTS IN THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY OVER ANY DISPUTES OR CLAIMS YOU HAVE WITH BLUECLONE; AND (3) SUBMITTING YOURSELF TO THE PERSONAL JURISDICTION OF COURTS LOCATED IN THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY FOR THE PURPOSE OF RESOLVING ANY SUCH DISPUTES OR CLAIMS.

20. MISCELLANEOUS.

The TOS and any operating rules for any areas of functionality of the Blueclone Service established by Blueclone constitute the entire agreement between Blueclone and You regarding the subject matter of the TOS, and supersede all previous written or oral agreements. In the event of any inconsistency between these TOS and any such other terms of service or operating rules of a specific Blueclone Service, these TOS will supersede such other terms of service, terms of use, or operating rules. If any part of these Terms of Service is held invalid or unenforceable, that part shall be construed to reflect the parties’ original intent, and the remaining portions remain in full force and effect, or Blueclone may at its option instead terminate the TOS. The controlling language of the TOS is English. If you have received a translation into another language, it has been provided for your convenience only. No waiver by either party of any breach or default hereunder shall be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or subsequent breach or default. The section headings used herein are for convenience only and shall not be given any legal import. You may not assign or otherwise transfer by operation of law or otherwise this agreement or any rights or obligations herein. Blueclone has the right to assign it to any entity in its sole discretion. This agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors and permitted assigns. Neither party shall be in default or be liable for any delay, failure in performance (excepting the obligation to pay) or interruption of service resulting directly or indirectly from any cause beyond its reasonable control.

21. USERS OUTSIDE THE UNITES STATES.

If you are using the Blueclone Service outside of the United States, then the provisions of this Section shall apply: (i) Les parties aux présentés confirment leur volonté que cette convention de même que tous les documents y compris tout avis qui s’y rattaché, soient redigés en langue anglaise. (translation: “The parties confirm that this Agreement and all related documentation is and will be in the English language.”); (ii) you are responsible for complying with any local laws in your jurisdiction which might impact your right to import, export or use the Blueclone Service, and you represent that you have complied with any regulations or registration procedures required by applicable law to make this license enforceable; and (iii) if the laws applicable to your use of the Blueclone Service would prohibit the enforceability of this Agreement, or impose any additional burdens on Blueclone, or confer any rights to you that are materially different from the terms and conditions of this Agreement, then you are not authorized to use the Blueclone Service and you agree to stop using it and should software be installed on your computers or servers, you will remove it immediately.
