  1. General Legal Terms. The following provisions shall be added to the Terms of Use after 21.5:

 

“21.6 Relationship of the Parties

The relationship between the parties is that of independent contractors.

Except as specified in the Agreement, the Agreement does not create, confer or purport to confer any benefit or right enforceable by any person or entity not a party to it except that a person or entity who is a permitted successor to or assignee of the rights of a party to the Agreement is deemed to be a party to the Agreement.

 

21.8 Entire Agreement

The Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings between the parties with respect to such matters, whether oral or written. No terms stated in any other Customer purchase order, privacy agreement, vendor agreement or other Customer form agreement will be incorporated into or form any part of the Agreement, unless such document is signed by an officer of Hexagon, explicitly references that Agreement, and states that it is intended to modify the Agreement.

 

21.9 Interpretation

The headings used in the Agreement are used for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting the Agreement. The parties agree that the terms and conditions of the Agreement are the result of negotiations between the parties and that the Agreement will not be construed in favor of or against any party by reason of the extent to which any party or its professional advisors participated in the preparation of the Agreement. For purposes of the Agreement, unless the context requires otherwise: (a) the words “include,” “includes,” “in particular,” and “including” are deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”, and (b) the words “herein,” “hereof,” “hereby,” “hereto,” and “hereunder” refer to the Agreement as a whole.”

If the arbitration Section is found inapplicable to Customer’s dispute with Hexagon, this class waiver will continue to apply in litigation. Customer agrees that this class waiver is an essential element of the agreement between Customer and Hexagon and that this class waiver may not be severed. In the event that this class waiver is deemed invalid or unenforceable, then the entire agreement to arbitrate in this Section 23 of the Terms of Use will be null and void.
