13.1 The Terms constitute the entire agreement between You and Inventu relating

products or services.
13.2 You agree that any material breach of Sections 2, 3, 4, 6, and 9 of the
Terms will result in irreparable harm to Inventu for which damages would be an
inadequate remedy and, therefore, in addition to its rights and remedies
otherwise available at law, Inventu will be entitled to equitable relief, including
both a preliminary and permanent injunction, if such a breach occurs. You waive
any requirement for the posting of a bond or other security if Inventu seeks such an
injunction.
13.3 Massachusetts law and controlling U.S. federal law govern any action
related to the Terms and/or Your use of the Website. Choice of law rules of any

be subject to the U.S. export laws and the export or import laws of other

regulations.
13.5 Rights and obligations under the Terms which by their nature should

Terms will not create a continuing waiver or any expectation of non-enforcement.
If any provision of the Terms is held invalid by any law or regulation of any
government, or by any court or arbitrator, the parties agree that such provision
will be replaced with a new provision that accomplishes the original business
purpose, and the other provisions of the Terms will remain in full force and
effect.
