Fees do not include any taxes, levies, duties, or similar governmental assessments of any nature, including, but not limited to, value-added, sales, use, or withholding taxes, assessable by any jurisdiction whatsoever ("Taxes").

- To the maximum extent permitted by law, this Agreement and all Order Forms shall be governed by the laws of Sweden, without reference to conflicts of law principles. Both parties hereby consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the courts in Stockholm, Sweden, in all disputes arising from or relating to the use of the Subscription Service. Use of the Subscription Service is unauthorized in any jurisdiction that does not give effect to all provisions of this Agreement, including without limitation this paragraph.
- If any part of this Agreement or an Order Form is determined to be invalid or unenforceable under applicable law (including without limitation warranty disclaimers and liability limitations set forth above), then: The invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed superseded by a valid, enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision. The remainder of this Agreement shall continue in effect.
- Notices shall be sent to the contact address set forth herein (as such may be changed by notice given to the other Party) and shall be deemed delivered as of the date of actual receipt.

To the fullest extent permitted by Swedish law, the provisions of any foreign commercial codes or uniform acts, including but not limited to the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) and the Uniform Computer Information Transaction Act (UCITA), shall not apply to this Agreement.
If the Customer is located outside of Sweden, the parties agree that the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) shall not govern this Agreement or the rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement.

General
- Force Majeure. Neither Party will be liable for inadequate performance or breach to the extent caused by a condition (including, but not limited to, a natural disaster, act of war or terrorism, riot, labor condition, governmental action, epidemic, pandemic, and Internet disturbance) (each a "Force Majeure Event") that was beyond the Party's reasonable control. The Party risking liability will utilize commercially reasonable efforts to remove or abate the effects of a Force Majeure event as soon as practicable, but if not removed or abated within fifteen (15) days, the other Party may terminate this Agreement and any related Order Form without penalty by written notice. An event of force majeure does not relieve a party from liability for an obligation that arose before the occurrence of that event, nor does that event affect the obligation to pay money promptly, which matured prior to the occurrence of that event.
- No Agency. The Parties are independent contractors, and this Agreement does not create an agency, partnership, or joint venture for any purpose.
- Electronic Transmission. Delivery of an executed copy of this Agreement or Order Form by facsimile, electronic mail in portable document format (.pdf), or any other electronic means intended to preserve the original graphic and pictorial appearance of a document has the same effect as delivery of an executed original of this Agreement or Order Form. In any event of a conflict or inconsistency between the terms herein and the terms of the Order Form, the terms shall prevail. Any additional or conflicting terms in purchase orders issued by Customer regarding the subject matter hereof are hereby explicitly rejected and shall have no force or effect on the terms of this Agreement or any Order Form.
The Parties are independent contractors. This Agreement does not create a partnership, franchise, joint venture, agency, or fiduciary or employment relationship between the Parties. Except for payment obligations, neither I Pair U nor Customer will be liable for inadequate performance to the extent caused by a condition that was beyond the Party's reasonable control (for example, natural disaster, act of war or terrorism, riot, labor condition, governmental action, and Internet disturbance). Except to the extent applicable law requires, there are no third-party beneficiaries under this Agreement.
