Each party shall use its reasonable endeavours to prevent the unauthorised disclosure of any such information.
12. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS
The Customer acknowledges its responsibility to comply with all applicable laws and regulations in connection with use of the Product, including, without limitation, all export and import laws.
13. TERM AND TERMINATION
These T&C run for an unlimited term. In case of the predefined end date the agreement will extend for the same period unless the Customer informs the Kleos Group in writing of its wish to terminate the agreement on thirty (30) days’ notice with the post stamp being the reference date or by email where the email date is the reference date.
Upon the Kleos Group’s request, the Customer will provide reasonable assurances to the Kleos Group that the Customer’s use of the Product is consistent with these T&C. The Kleos Group may terminate these T&C with immediate effect by notice to the Customer in writing if the Customer breaches any term of these T&C. In this case, the Customer will have no claim to any remedy or refund of license fees paid. If the Customer uses any Product in an unauthorized manner or otherwise violate these T&C, the Kleos Group may, at its option, select any one or more of the following remedies in addition to any remedy available at law:

• charge the Customer for reasonable inspection and enforcement costs.
Upon termination, the Customer will delete all Products and provide evidence of its deletion to the Kleos Group. All provisions of these T&C that by their nature contemplate performance after termination will survive termination of these T&C.
14. APPLICABLE LAW AND VENUE
Applicable law shall be where the Customer’s primary place of business is located whether in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, the United States or England and Wales (“Primary Location”) excluding conflict of laws principles and the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Applicable law in any primary place of business not in one of the Primary Locations shall be the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg (“Non-Primary Location”). The exclusive jurisdiction and venue for any disputes arising out of these T&C will be based upon the Primary or Non-Primary
location as it relates to the Customer’s primary place of business. A material breach of these T&C adversely affecting the Kleos Group’s proprietary rights may cause irreparable harm to the Kleos Group, for which a remedy at law would be inadequate; the Kleos Group will be entitled to injunctive relief in addition to any remedy it may have under these T&C or at law.
15. COMPLETE AND BINDING T&C
Subject to any specific terms of an Order of the Product incorporating these T&C, these T&C constitute the complete and exclusive understanding between the Parties relating to its subject matter. It supersedes all prior and contemporaneous representations, correspondence, proposals, or licensing agreements, whether oral or written. If any provision is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of these T&C will continue to be valid and enforceable. The Kleos Group’s failure to enforce any of the provisions in these T&C will not constitute a waiver of its right to do so. In the event of a conflict between the Order and the T&C, the terms of the T&C shall prevail.
