If SWREG determines at any time that You or any of Your Products do not meet or follow all of these conditions and rules or that You are in breach of any provision of this Agreement, SWREG may immediately terminate this Agreement without notice to You and/or cease reselling License Rights to Your Products.

3. WHAT ARE THE GENERAL TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT?

A. Legal Relationship. As a client of SWREG, You will sell License Rights to Your Products to SWREG for resale by SWREG, as the seller and merchant of record, to End Users through the SWREG Site. When an order is placed through the SWREG Site by an End User, You agree to immediately sell the applicable License Rights to SWREG on sale and return terms set forth below, in exchange for the Purchase Price (as further described below), at which time title to the License Rights will pass from You to SWREG, for subsequent transfer by SWREG to the End User. If necessary in order for SWREG to fulfill the End User’s purchase, You will cooperate with Our requests in delivering or providing the License Right and/or Product to the End User (in whatever form You have chosen to use for Your Product). You give SWREG the right to sell License Rights as described in this Agreement, and a limited right to use Your trademarks in connection with SWREG’s sale of License Rights to Your Product through the SWREG Site. For sales to End User located in the United States, title to License Rights will transfer from SWREG to the End User upon initiation of the download of the Product for which License Rights have been sold by SWREG. For sales to End Users located outside of the United States where the transfer originates within the United States, title to License Rights will transfer from SWREG to the End User at the time of entry during transit from the United States to the state, territory, province, or country in which the End User is located.

B. Download Insurance Service. SWREG has the right to also offer Download Insurance Service to End Users. This service provides storage of Your Product on Our server for the End User to re-download their purchase for up to one (1) years from the date of purchase, by providing the End User with a download link. SWREG may elect to offer this service to End Users on sales of License Rights to Product where SWREG fulfills the Product via a digital file downloaded by End Users. SWREG shall set and maintain pricing for, and shall retain all revenues received from End Users on sales of, the Download Insurance Service. If You fail to allow SWREG to offer either the Extended Download Service or the Registration Backup Service where applicable, SWREG reserves the right to suspend Your account.

C. Registration Backup Service. SWREG has the right to also offer Registration Backup Service to End Users instead of the Download Insurance Service where applicable. This service provides storage of Your license keys on Our server for the End User to re-download for up to two (2) years from the date of purchase, by providing the End User with a download link. SWREG may elect to offer this service to End Users where SWREG sells License Rights to End Users and provides the End User with a License Right in the form of a keycode or key generated by a key generator. SWREG shall set and maintain pricing for, and shall retain all revenues received from End Users on sales of, the Registration Backup Service. If You fail to allow SWREG to offer either the Registration Backup Service or the Extended Download Service where applicable, SWREG reserves the right to suspend Your account.

D. Backup CD Option. SWREG has the right to offer the Backup CD Option to End Users. You will be required to upload Your Product, and SWREG will then create a custom CD-ROM for each item of Product. Whenever an End User purchases License Rights to Product, the End User will be given the option to also purchase a CD-ROM containing a copy of the Product. SWREG may elect to offer this option to End Users where SWREG sells License Rights to End Users. SWREG shall set and maintain pricing for, and shall retain all revenues received from End Users on sales of, Backup CDs. If You fail to allow SWREG to offer the Backup CD Option, SWREG reserves the right to suspend Your account.

E. Additional Services. After You enter into this Agreement, through Your online account interface You will be able to indicate which of Our Additional Services You want SWREG to provide to You. SWREG may amend or change the Additional Services SWREG provides at any time upon notice to You, and those changes will be effective for any transactions that take place after the date of the change. If SWREG provides You with any Additional Services, You grant SWREG the right to copy, store and distribute to others, as appropriate for the particular set of Additional Services provided by SWREG, any or all of Your Product license keys or tokens, copies of Your Product in authenticated or un authenticated form and in electronic form for download distribution and/or in physical form (such as CD ROM) for physical distribution.

F. Display of SWREG as Retailer. You will operate Your Site(s) to promote the sales of License Rights to End Users by SWREG through the SWREG Site. You will prominently display, on Your Site(s) and in other online marketing materials if applicable, the most current SWREG logo (as provided or made available to You by SWREG) and a statement that SWREG is the authorized online retailer from whom End Users may purchase License Rights to Your Product. However, note that credit card provider rules, and trademark law, prohibit You from displaying any credit card logos or insignia on Your Site(s) if based on Your relationship with SWREG, and You may be subject to legal action if You fail to obey those rules. You will be responsible for all costs to create, operate and maintain Your Site(s). SWREG shall have full control over the privacy policy, terms and conditions of sale, and returns policy for the SWREG Site, and “who we are” disclosures on the SWREG Site designed to clearly disclose SWREG as the seller of record with respect to sales of License Rights to End Users, and of the text of pages utilized in connection with the SWREG Site. You will not display, on the Your Site(s) or elsewhere, Your own terms of sale, privacy policy, or returns policy with respect to SWREG’s sale of License Rights (not including a EULA for Your Products which You will provide), unless You have obtained SWREG’s express prior written consent.

G. Export. You agree to provide SWREG with current, up-to-date and specific codes and classifications under any export control laws applicable to any Products (including without limitation provision of appropriate Export Control Classification Numbers ("ECCNs"), U.S. Harmonized Tarrif Schedule codes, and license exception codes), and shall also advise SWREG of any shipment destination for which an export license exception is required with respect to any Product. Such information may be provided by email to orm@SWREG.com. If You are responsible for fulfillment of a Product on SWREG’s behalf, You also agree to comply with any applicable laws, rules and regulations which control, regulate, prohibit or otherwise affect the export or import of Your Products to the country to which the Product will be fulfilled ("Export/Import Control Laws"), including but not limited to obtaining any export licenses, permits or similar required documentation as may be required by Export/Import Control Laws, and the amounts paid to You by SWREG from Your account as described in this Agreement will be Your sole compensation for the same. If You determine that You are unable to fulfill a Product to any particular End User because of Export/Import Control Laws, You must promptly cancel the order through the Your online account interface.

Federal agencies have also banned or regulated trade between U.S. entities and certain organizations, businesses and persons. SWREG retains the right to make its own determination, at its sole discretion, as to whether any proposed sales transaction might put SWREG in violation of these regulations or of Export/Import Control Laws, and may refuse to engage in any such sales transactions without prior notice to You.

H. Support. Please note that SWREG does not provide a Product help-desk or other forms of technical support concerning Your Product. Our support is limited to assistance to End Users with the use of the SWREG Site and its shopping cart to make purchases, as well as concerning any deliveries of Product files, license keys or tokens if You have purchased those Additional Services from SWREG.

I. End User Information. Because SWREG is the seller of License Rights to Your Products to End Users, SWREG is the party with whom the End User is transacting business. As such, the End User is giving his/her/its personally identifiable information to SWREG. As between You and SWREG, neither party will own any End User information provided in connection with a sale by SWREG, but shall have rights to use such information as set forth in this paragraph in accordance with applicable laws, rules and regulations. SWREG will provide You with access to certain End User information (excluding payment account information) in connection with Our reporting of sales of License Rights to You. You agree to only use End User information in compliance with Your publicly displayed privacy policy and all applicable laws and regulations. You acknowledge and agree that SWREG may send marketing communications to End Users in compliance with applicable laws, rules, and regulations.

J. Privacy Policy. The SWREG Site has a Privacy Policy posted at http://usd.swreg.org/privacy.htm and that policy describes how SWREG may store, use and disclose personal information about You and about End Users. You agree to the terms of that Privacy Policy as it is now issued and as it may be amended in the future by SWREG. You agree that You will not do anything to interfere with Our Privacy Policy and how it impacts Your End Users, and agree that SWREG has sole control of the terms and enforcement of Our Privacy Policy. You will ensure that the privacy policy for Your Site(s) clearly discloses that purchases through Your Site(s) will be through an authorized reseller, and that the End User will be providing their information to Your authorized reseller subject to the authorized reseller’s privacy policy.

K. End User License Agreement. Any end user license agreement (“EULA”) You make with an End User is strictly an agreement between You and the End User, and SWREG is not a party to that EULA.

L. Subscription-Based Products. You understand and acknowledge with respect to any License Rights which require automatic rebilling (including without limitation renewing subscription-based products), SWREG shall only process such renewal billing provided that each End User has clearly and unambiguously consented to automatic periodic billing of its subscription by SWREG in the manner required by SWREG (which may, in SWREG’s sole discretion, include without limitation “opt-in” consent through the SWREG Site), and is permitted by and in compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, including card association and payment processor rules and regulations (collectively, “CC Requirements”), as reasonably interpreted by SWREG. In connection with subscription-based products, You will provide each End User with the ability to terminate his/her subscription in a clear and unambiguous manner as required by CC Requirements and in a manner acceptable to SWREG, and that you will comply with SWREG’s subscription practices best policy as made available to you through the SWREG online account interface and/or provided to You in writing or by email from time to time. You agree to immediately provide SWREG with information regarding a subscription cancellation immediately following Your receipt of such cancellation by an End User.

You also understand and acknowledge that based on card association and payment processor rules, SWREG may be restricted or prohibited from assuming the automatic rebilling of subscriptions previously processed by a different entity, and from transferring End User information (including without limitation credit card information) to You or any other third party.

4. HOW DOES SWREG HANDLE THE MONEY?

A. Sale of License Rights. For each sale of a License Right by SWREG, SWREG will purchase the License Right from You for the Purchase Price, as further described below. All amounts which SWREG owes You for the sale of License Rights shall be placed in an in-house account maintained by SWREG, and SWREG will pay You from that account as described below.

B. Additional Services Pricing. If SWREG provides Additional Services to You that require payment of additional fees to SWREG, those fees will be described to You once You activate Your account and logon in Your online account interface. You will have an opportunity to accept those fees when choosing to use the Additional Service. As SWREG provides Additional Services to You, SWREG will deduct the fees owed to SWREG for such Additional Services from Your account. In the event You cease offering one or more of the value added services required in this Agreement, You will be notified and Your account will be suspended.

C. Taxes. In addition to charging the End Users Your stated price, SWREG will collect and remit to the proper authorities, where SWREG is legally required to do so, any sales tax, value added-tax (VAT), or similar tax or similar government fees that are based on the sale of License Rights to Your Products (collectively "Sales Taxes"). Any collected Sales Taxes will not be placed into Your account but shall instead be paid by SWREG to the appropriate government authority.

You will be solely responsible for the collection and payment of any and all applicable sales or use, value added and/or other similar consumption- based taxes imposed on Your sale of License Rights to SWREG (or Your income derived therefrom). The Purchase Price for a License Right shall be inclusive of all required sales or use, value added and/or other consumption-based taxes. You shall provide to SWREG all data reasonably necessary for SWREG to support any taxes included in the purchase price of a License Right. For the avoidance of doubt, under no circumstances shall SWREG be deemed to be providing tax advice or consulting services to You. You shall be solely responsible for, and shall hold SWREG harmless from and against, the calculation of taxes due from SWREG on Your sale of License Rights to SWREG, and any failure to collect taxes from SWREG on Your sale of License Rights to SWREG at the time of sale to SWREG (including without limitation interest and penalties that result from any failure). If SWREG determines that the sale of License Rights or the fulfillment of a Product into any particular place will put SWREG in violation of local tax laws, and if resolving that problem will cost SWREG an unreasonable amount of time, effort or money, SWREG may choose to refuse to make sales to End Users in those locations.

D. Refunds. SWREG’s policy is to provide End Users with a thirty (30) day right to return License Rights for a refund of the purchase price paid by the End User (unless a longer period is required by law in which case End Users may return License Rights as permitted by applicable law), provided the End User has electronically certified to SWREG that they have destroyed any copies of the related Product in their possession. As the seller and merchant of record, SWREG is responsible for setting and applying the returns policy applicable to the SWREG Site. You shall accept for return any License Rights returned to SWREG by an End User which return is either (a) in compliance with SWREG’s returns policy, and/or (b) required by applicable law, provided that You shall not be required to accept any License Rights returned more than thirty (30) calendar days from the date of purchase (regardless of SWREG’s returns policy) where such return is not required by applicable law. If SWREG processes any refunds to End Users who have purchased License Rights to Your Product from SWREG, SWREG will deduct the amount of the refund from Your account, together with an additional amount equal to Three Percent (3%) of the Total Sales Price as a returns processing fee which You agree may be kept by SWREG. SWREG will be entitled to keep its margin earned on the sale to the End User, even if the End User makes a return or such sale becomes subject to chargeback as described below.

If requested by You and agreed to by SWREG, SWREG will appoint You as SWREG’s agent for processing returns on SWREG’s behalf, in accordance with the SWREG returns policy. You will be responsible for contacting an End User within two (2) business days of initial contact by the End User in order to confirm whether the End User’s return will be accepted; if You authorize the return based on the SWREG returns policy, You will indicate that a return has been authorized through the SWREG client interface. In the event You fail to properly and timely manage returns on behalf of SWREG, SWREG may revoke Your ability to manage returns on SWREG’s behalf.

E. Chargebacks, Fraud and Suppressed Orders. A "Chargeback" is another form of refund that happens when a credit card processor or acquiring bank unilaterally revokes a prior transaction, which may be done under the rules of the credit card banking system for such reasons as fraud or suspected fraud, End User complaint, or other reasons determined at the sole discretion of the credit card processors and/or banks. While SWREG will make reasonable efforts to avoid Chargebacks where possible, SWREG makes no promises as to whether or how credit card processors and/or banks will interpret their rules or rights concerning Chargebacks. You acknowledge that credit card transactions over the SWREG shopping cart are ‘non-swiped’ and have no physical signature from an End user, and thus are subject to a higher level of Chargeback activity compared to physical credit card transactions with wet-ink signatures. SWREG may deduct from Your account any amounts attributable to Chargebacks. The amount which may be deducted from Your account may include the original amount of the transaction together with an additional amount equal to Five Percent (5%) of the Total Sales Price as a chargeback processing fee which You agree may be kept by SWREG.

Further, SWREG is also not obligated to pay You any amounts in Your account that are connected (a) with any activities that are deemed to be fraudulent or criminal, and (b) with orders which are fulfilled upon receipt of a valid payment authorization that is subsequently rejected or cancelled prior to settlement by SWREG, the merchant bank or the payment processor. The existence or possibility of fraud or criminal activity will be determined by SWREG in its reasonable discretion, and SWREG may make any inquiries and investigations it deems appropriate.

F. Payment Method and Frequency. At the end of each pay cycle (as defined below), SWREG will send You a payment in the form You select in Your account settings for the accrued amounts in Your account. However, SWREG’s obligation to pay You is subject to the following:

1. Standard pay cycles are on a monthly basis unless otherwise specified and unless You are due less than the monthly minimums. Payments will be sent on or shortly after the 15th of the month for orders placed during the preceding month. Example: Proceeds of orders filled in February will be paid in March. If SWREG, in its sole discretion, deems You to be in good standing after doing business with SWREG for 4 months, You may request weekly payments, which are typically made on Tuesdays for an additional surcharge equal to One Percent (1%) of each payment to You.

2. Payment options available are ACH (For US Publishers, only), BACS (For UK Publishers only), Paypal, International Wire and Check/Bank Draft. Direct Wires may be processed at Your request for a fee of Twenty Dollars ($20) per wire. Corporate checks/bank drafts are also available for a fee of Four Dollars ($4) per draft.

3. SWREG may determine to holdback some or all of the money that is in Your account if SWREG believes that it might be necessary to cover future refunds, charges against Your account, or other liabilities You may owe to SWREG. SWREG may also holdback some or all of the money if SWREG believes that the funds represent fraudulent transactions or involve other kinds of illegal activities. SWREG will only holdback those amounts which SWREG determines are reasonable under the circumstances. Our statements or other communication from SWREG will note how much SWREG is holding back. SWREG will keep any held-back amounts only for a reasonable time as determined in Our sole discretion, and will promptly pay over to You any remaining held back amounts after that reasonable time has passed. Regardless of any holdback SWREG may choose to keep, You agree to pay SWREG, upon demand, for any shortfall owed to SWREG due to refunds, Chargebacks, fraud, or fees for services rendered if they cannot be offset from Your account within ninety (90) days of the date SWREG first seeks to offset such charges. If SWREG actually keeps (or sets off) against Your account with SWREG any of the funds SWREG has held back, SWREG will do so in a manner that SWREG believes fairly reflects Your liability owed to SWREG, and SWREG will note the setoff and an explanation of the setoff on Your next statement that SWREG issues to You.

4. If the total amount SWREG owes to You at the end of a monthly pay cycle will be less than Fifty Dollars ($50), SWREG will withhold payment until a later pay cycle when the total amount owed is greater than this minimum amount.

5. Your first payment will not be due to You any earlier than the pay cycle that follows the verification of Your account, which may include (at SWREG's discretion) a waiting period not to exceed sixty (60) calendar days. All subsequent payments shall be on the pay schedule You select.

6. Any and all fees, payments, compensation, consideration, and other money amounts shall be expressed and payable in Your store currency (USD, Euro, or GBP) unless otherwise requested by You. In the event SWREG receives funds in connection with a transaction in a currency other than Your store currency, SWREG will convert such receivables to Your store currency using industry-accepted bank conversion rates adjusted by SWREG for volatility and liquidity risk. Amounts in Your account with us will not accrue interest while in Our possession.

7. SWREG may change the fees set forth in this Agreement at any time, but SWREG will give You at least thirty (30) calendar days notice prior to the effective date of any such change.

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL SWREG’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ARISING OUT OF OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, REGARDLESS OF HOW THE LIABILITY ARISES, EXCEED THE NET AMOUNT ACTUALLY REALIZED BY SWREG UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. SWREG SHALL NOT HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO YOU OR TO ANY OTHER PERSON OR ORGANIZATION FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR SPECIAL DAMAGES OF ANY DESCRIPTION (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOST PROFITS OR LOSS OR INTERRUPTION OF BUSINESS), WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, TORT, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES AND IRRESPECTIVE OF THE NUMBER OR NATURE OF CLAIMS. THE LIMITATIONS UPON DAMAGES AND CLAIMS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT ARE INTENDED TO APPLY WITHOUT REGARD TO WHETHER OTHER PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT HAVE BEEN BREACHED OR HAVE BEEN HELD TO BE INVALID OR INEFFECTIVE AND NOTWITHSTANDING THE FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY PROVIDED HEREIN, AND FORM A FUNDAMENTAL PART OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN THEM.

9. HOW LONG DOES THIS AGREEMENT LAST?
This Agreement starts on the date You acknowledge Your acceptance of this Agreement, and will last until either You or SWREG terminates this Agreement (with or without cause) by providing the other with thirty (30) calendar days prior notice of its decision to terminate. In the event You are in breach of this Agreement or have failed to comply with Your obligations under this Agreement, SWREG may terminate this Agreement without any obligation to give You prior notice of termination or opportunity to cure. Neither You nor SWREG is obligated to continue under this Agreement for any period of time, and You should not rely upon whether or not we will continue to resell License Rights to Your Products for any period of time.

Once this Agreement has been terminated: (a) You will immediately cease any use of SWREG’s name, logos or Trademarks, and remove any hyperlinks to the SWREG Site that deal with the sale of Your License Rights or the distribution of Your Products; (b) SWREG will promptly halt any sale of Your License Rights; (c) SWREG will continue to make payments to You out of Your account, on the regular pay cycle dates, until the time that Your account has reached a zero balance. Our holdback rights, as described above, survive past the termination date of the Agreement. Your obligation to pay SWREG for any shortfall in Your account survives the termination of the Agreement; (d) SWREG may holdback funds and charge against those funds any amounts which SWREG is entitled to under this Agreement; and (e) You will continue to be responsible for any liability that might arise out of Chargebacks, any infringement of intellectual property rights, any violation of laws, rules or regulations that may have occurred as a result of Your License Rights and/or Products being distributed via the SWREG Site, and any breach by You of the terms of this Agreement. SWREG is entitled to set off against any funds SWREG may be holding any amount needed to reimburse SWREG for Our costs or expenses of defending against any claims against SWREG related to Your breach of any promise to SWREG in this Agreement, including an amount to pay any attorneys’ fees SWREG incurs associated with any such claims.

The provisions of this Agreement which, by their terms, require performance after the termination of this Agreement, or have application to events that may occur after the termination of this Agreement, shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

10. ANYTHING ELSE WE AGREE UPON?

A. No Exclusivity. Neither You nor SWREG is obligated to deal exclusively with the other. You may use other means or companies to sell License Rights to Your Products, and SWREG may sell License Rights and/or Products provided by others that may be similar to or competitive with Your Products.

B. Notices. If You are obligated under this Agreement to tell SWREG something or You wish to give SWREG legal notice of any kind, You must do so in writing and deliver it by certified mail, postage pre-paid and return receipt requested OR by nationally recognized overnight courier which provides a written proof of delivery, to the following address: SWREG, Inc., Attn: General Counsel, 9625 76th Street, Eden Prairie, MN 55344.

If SWREG is obligated under this Agreement to tell You something or SWREG wishes to give You legal notice of any kind, SWREG may do so by use of any of the addresses You gave to SWREG through the SWREG online account interface, including postal mail or e-mail. If any such notice fails to reach You because You gave SWREG inaccurate address information, SWREG’s notice shall nonetheless be deemed to have been delivered to You.

C. Changes to this Agreement. SWREG reserves the right to amend this Agreement. In the event of an amendment, SWREG will post the new version of the Agreement on the SWREG Site and will provide You with notice of such amendment. Each time You log-in to the SWREG online account interface or use the SWREG system, You will be asked to accept the then- current terms of the new Agreement by clicking on the I HAVE READ THE PUBLISHER AGREEMENT AND I ACCEPT THE TERMS button. If You do not click on the button, You will not be able to use SWREG. Sale of Your Products or License Rights to SWREG, and/or use of the SWREG online account interface, constitutes Your acceptance of the then-current version of this Agreement.

D. Waiver; Severability. No waiver of this Agreement or the breach of any provision of this Agreement (a) shall be effective unless made in writing, or (b) shall operate as or be construed to be a continuing waiver of such provision or breach. Any failure by SWREG to enforce any of its rights under this Agreement or any applicable laws shall not constitute a waiver of such right. The invalidity of non-enforceability of any provision of this Agreement, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, shall not affect the other provisions hereof, and in any such occasion this Agreement shall be construed in all respects as if such invalid or non- enforceable provisions were omitted, and the invalid or non-enforceable provision of this Agreement shall automatically be construed as replaced with a valid and enforceable provision which most closely meets or approximates the intent and economic effect of the invalid or non- enforceable provision.

E. Governing Law; Venue. This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted under the laws of the State of Minnesota, United States of America, without respect to or application of its conflicts-of-laws provisions. The parties specifically disclaim application of (i) the United Nations Convention on the International Sale of Goods, and (ii) of Article 2 of the Uniform Commercial Code as codified. If there are any disputes or conflicts related to or arising out of this Agreement, You and we shall use reasonable means to resolve the conflict prior to starting any lawsuits or other litigation, including negotiation between management personnel capable of resolving the conflicts. However, in the event either You or we should start any litigation arising out of this Agreement, You expressly agree that the litigation will take place exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Hennepin County, Minnesota, USA, and You expressly agree that any such court has personal jurisdiction over You. You waive all defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction and forum non-conveniens. Process may be served on either party in the manner authorized by applicable law or court rule.

F. Entire Agreement; Assignment. This Agreement sets forth the entire understanding between You and SWREG with respect to its subject matter, and supersedes any and all prior or contemporaneous proposals, communications, agreements, understandings, negotiations, and representations, whether written or oral, related thereto, which shall have no effect as of the date this Agreement becomes effective. You may not assign this Agreement, or any of Your rights or obligations under this Agreement (whether directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise) without RegNow’s express prior written permission to do so, and any attempt to assign in violation of the preceding shall constitute an incurable material breach of this Agreement and shall, at SWREG’s option, render this Agreement null and void. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their permitted successors and assigns.

G. Relationship of the Parties. This Agreement shall not in any respect whatsoever be deemed to create a partnership, joint venture, or other business combination between You and SWREG. Neither You nor we shall be obligated by any agreement, representation or warranty made by the other, nor shall You or we be obligated for damages to any person or organization for personal injuries or property damage directly or indirectly arising out of the conduct of the other party’s business or caused by the other party’s negligence, willful act, or failure to act. There are no third-party beneficiaries through You under this Agreement.

H. Other. SWREG is relieved of any obligation to perform under this Agreement if we are unable to perform as a result of any reasons or conditions beyond SWREG’s reasonable control. Notwithstanding any applicable statute of limitations, You and SWREG agree that any claims for breach of this Agreement shall be brought within two (2) years of the date that party first learns of such breach. No provisions in Your purchase orders or other business forms (including by way of example but not limitation, any Statement of Work or Change Order Form) shall modify, supersede or otherwise alter the terms of this Agreement. SWREG may engage the services of subcontractors or agents to assist SWREG in the performance of its obligations, and SWREG will be responsible for the acts and omissions of such subcontractors and agents.
