The Customer shall not, and shall not permit any third parties to, directly or indirectly, export, reexport, or release any Regulated Products to any jurisdiction or country to which, or any party to whom, the export, reexport, or release of any Regulated Products is prohibited by applicable federal or foreign law, regulation, or rule. The Customer shall be responsible for any breach of this Section by its, and its successors' and permitted assigns', parent, affiliates, employees, officers, directors, customers, agents, distributors, resellers, or vendors.

The Customer shall provide prior written notice of the need to comply with such laws and regulations to any person, firm, or entity which it has reason to believe is obtaining any such Regulated Products from the Customer with the intent to export or reexport.
14. US GOVERNMENT RIGHTS. The PAR Products are "commercial items" as that term is defined at 48 C.F.R. § 2.101, consisting of "commercial computer software" and "commercial computer software documentation" as such terms are used in 48 C.F.R. § 12.212, and were developed exclusively at private expense.

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 15 to the contrary, if the Customer is a U.S. Government Customer, this Agreement, and the choice of forum and venue for adjudication of any dispute or action arising out of or in connection herewith, shall be governed by Federal law.

17.1. Force Majeure. PAR shall not be liable or responsible to Customer, nor be deemed to have defaulted under or breached this Agreement, for any failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any term of this Agreement, when and to the extent such failure or delay is caused by or results from acts beyond PAR’s reasonable control, including, without limitation: (a) acts of God; (b) flood, fire, earthquake, or explosion; (c) war, invasion, hostilities (whether war is declared or not), terrorist threats or acts, riot, or other civil unrest; (d) government order or law; (e) actions, embargoes, or blockades in effect on or after the date of this Agreement; (f) action by any governmental authority; (g) national or regional emergency; (h) epidemic, pandemic, or other public health emergency; (i) strikes, labor stoppages or slowdowns, or other industrial disturbances; and (j) shortage of adequate power or transportation facilities (each, a “Force Majeure Event”).

17.2. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with each Sales Order and with the PAR Policies, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties, and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous negotiations, agreements and representations, whether oral or written, with respect to this subject matter. Any terms or conditions contained in any Customer purchase order or similar document shall be without effect.
17.3. Waivers. The failure of either party to enforce any provision of this Agreement, unless waived in writing by such party, will not constitute a waiver of that party’s right to enforce that provision or any other provision of this Agreement.

17.6. Remedies Cumulative. The enumeration herein of specific remedies shall not be exclusive of any other remedies unless otherwise expressly stated herein. Any delay or failure by any party to this Agreement to exercise any right, power, remedy or privilege herein contained, or now or hereafter existing under any applicable statute or law, shall not be construed to be a waiver of such right, power, remedy or privilege, nor to limit the exercise of such right, power, remedy, or privilege, nor shall it preclude the further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, remedy or privilege.
17.7. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held by a court of law to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable, the legality, validity, and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement will not be affected or impaired thereby and the illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision will be deemed modified such that it is legal, valid, and enforceable and accomplishes the intention of the parties to the fullest extent possible.
