This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all prior negotiations, understandings or agreements (oral or written), between the parties about the subject matter of this Agreement. Terms set forth in Licensee's purchase order (or any similar document) that are in addition to or at variance with the terms of this Agreement are specifically waived by Licensee. All such terms are considered to be proposed material alterations of this Agreement and are hereby rejected. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, no waiver, consent or modification of this Agreement shall bind either party unless in writing and signed by the party against which enforcement is sought.

This Agreement is in English only, which shall be controlling in all respects. No version of this Agreement in another language shall be binding or of any effect.

8.4 Dispute Resolution. Except that ToneStone may seek an injunction or other equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction pursuant to Section 8.4, all disputes between the parties arising out of or related to this Agreement shall be settled by binding arbitration in accordance with the JAMS streamlined arbitration rules and procedures then in force, by one neutral arbitrator appointed in accordance with the rules. The arbitration shall take place in Boston, Massachusetts, USA. The proceedings shall be in English, all evidence shall be in English (or translated into English) and the governing law shall be as set forth herein. The arbitrator's decision shall be in writing and shall comply with all terms and conditions in the applicable version of this Agreement. The decision and award rendered shall be final and binding on both parties. The parties acknowledge and agree that this Agreement and any award rendered pursuant hereto shall be governed by the UN Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. LICENSEE UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES THAT BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, EACH PARTY IS WAIVING THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.
8.5 Remedies. Unless specifically provided otherwise, each right and remedy in this Agreement is in addition to any other right or remedy, at law or in equity. Licensee agrees that, in the event of any breach or threatened breach of Section 4, ToneStone will suffer irreparable damage for which there is no adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, in addition to any other remedy, ToneStone shall be entitled to injunctive and other equitable remedies to prevent or restrain such breach or threatened breach, without the necessity of proving actual damages or posting any bond or surety.
8.6 Notices.
