out of this EULA will be Berlin, Germany. A material breach
of this EULA adversely affecting our proprietary rights may
cause irreparable harm to us, for which a remedy at law
would be inadequate; we will be entitled to injunctive relief
in addition to any remedy we may have under this EULA or
at law.
14. COMPLETE AND BINDING EULA
Subject to any specific terms of an order for Content
incorporating this EULA, this EULA constitutes the
complete and exclusive understanding between the Parties
relating to its subject matter. It supersedes all prior and
contemporaneous representations, correspondence,
proposals, or licensing agreements, whether oral or
written. If any provision is determined to be invalid or
unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this EULA will
continue to be valid and enforceable. Our failure to enforce
any of the provisions in this EULA will not constitute a
waiver of our right to do so.
