Article 13. Miscellaneous:
-
- Buyer agrees that failure to comply with any provision of the Agreement may result in Crocs terminating or suspending delivery of part or all of the Purchase Order, whether or not the Buyer is in default due to force majeure.
- The terms and conditions hereof and any subsequent correspondence relating to the Products, including, without limitation, pricing and any conflicts arising between the parties are confidential and Buyer hereby undertakes not to disclose the same unless required by law.

- Buyer agrees that it will not knowingly sell or transfer the Products, directly or indirectly, to any person on either of the U.S. Export Controls and the U.S. Consolidated Screening List, or to any person who may be prohibited by law from receiving goods from the country from which the Product is exported.
- If any provision of the Agreement is for any reason held invalid or illegal in any respect, such invalidity or illegality will not affect the validity of the Agreement and Crocs will substitute for the affected provision, a valid and enforceable provision which most closely approximates the intent and economic effect. If such provision cannot be amended so as to be valid and enforceable, then such provision is severable from the Agreement and the remaining provisions of the Agreement remain valid and enforceable.
- Buyer is not entitled to assign, transfer or novate its rights and obligations pursuant to the Agreement to any third party. Buyer is not entitled to set off any amounts due by Crocs against any amounts due by Buyer.
- This Agreement shall be governed by and be interpreted exclusively in accordance with the laws of Colorado and the United States, without reference to rules concerning choice of laws principles that would require the application of the laws of another jurisdiction. Except as set forth below, any dispute arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, including any question regarding its existence, validity or termination, shall be referred to and finally be resolved by arbitration in accordance with the International Centre for Dispute Resolution’s (“ICDR”) then-current rule for international dispute resolution of commercial disputes (the “Rules”). The place of such arbitration will be in Denver, Colorado, United States. The award rendered by the arbitrator will be final, non-appealable (to the extent not inconsistent with applicable law) and binding upon the parties, and judgment may be entered upon the arbitral award in any court of competent jurisdiction. Buyer waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in any action, proceeding, or litigation directly or indirectly arising out of, under or in connection with this agreement, including any amounts that may be owed hereunder.
