15. GENERAL.
(a) Save where the Software forms part of a Product, this EULA (including any SSL addendum or amendment to this EULA which is included with the Software and the licenses referenced in Section 2) constitutes the entire agreement between Licensee and SSL relating to the Software and the support services (if any), and they supersede all prior or contemporaneous oral or written communications, proposals and representations with respect to the Software or any other subject matter covered by this EULA. To the extent the terms of any SSL policies or programs for support services conflict with the terms of this EULA, the terms of this EULA shall prevail over such conflicting provisions.
(b) This EULA is binding on Licensee and SSL and on any respective successors and assigns.
(c) SSL may transfer, assign, charge, sub-contract or otherwise dispose of this EULA, or any of its rights or obligations arising under it, at any time.
(d) If any provision of this EULA is held by a competent authority to be illegal, invalid, void or unenforceable under the laws of any jurisdiction, such term, condition or provision will to that extent be severed from the remaining terms, conditions and provisions which will continue to be valid to the fullest extent permitted by law.
(e) If SSL fails, at any time during the term of this EULA to insist upon strict performance of any of Licensee’s obligations under this EULA, or if it fails to exercise any of the rights or remedies to which it is entitled under this EULA, this shall not constitute a waiver of such rights or remedies and shall not relieve Licensee from compliance with such obligations. A waiver by SSL of any default shall not constitute a waiver of any subsequent default. No waiver by SSL of any of these terms and conditions shall be effective unless it is expressly stated to be a waiver and is communicated to Licensee in writing.
(f) SSL will not be liable or responsible for any failure to perform, or delay in performance of, any of its obligations under this EULA that are caused by an event outside of its reasonable control.
(g) All notices, requests, consents, claims, demands, waivers, and other communications hereunder given by You to SSL must be given to SSL, 25 Spring Hill Rd, Begbroke, Kidlington, OX5 1RU, UNITED KINGDOM. SSL may give notice to You at your most recent address (be it physical or e-mail) known to SSL, and/or through a notice posted on SSL’s website. Notice will be deemed received and properly served (i) when delivered by hand (with written confirmation of receipt); (ii) when received by the addressee if sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier (receipt requested); (iii) on the next business day if sent by e-mail; (iv) three days after the date mailed, by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid; or (v) 24 hours after posting on SSL’s website.
(h) This licence shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales. Subject to SSL being entitled to enforce the terms of this EULA in any court or jurisdiction that it sees fit, any dispute arising from or related to this EULA shall be subject to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales. Where You use the Software outside of England and Wales, the local law may impose greater restrictions on You that You must comply with.
(i) SSL reserves the right to revise, update, modify, add to, delete from, or supplement this EULA, in its sole discretion, at any time, and such changes will be effective when posted through the Software or on SSL’s website for the Software or the Products, or when SSL notifies You by other means. Your continued use of the Software after the EULA has been so changed indicates Your agreement to the changes.
