A PARTY WHO IMPROPERLY DISCLOSES CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION WILL BE SUBJECT TO SANCTIONS. THE ARBITRATOR AND FORUM MAY DISCLOSE CASE FILINGS, CASE DISPOSITIONS, AND OTHER CASE INFORMATION AS REQUIRED BY A COURT ORDER OF PROPER JURISDICTION.

- General. If any provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. You and Webmethod intend that the provisions of this Agreement be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. Accordingly, you and Webmethod agree that if any provision is deemed unenforceable, where possible, it will be modified to the extent necessary to make it enforceable, which may include its deletion. The Webmethod may assign this Agreement, in whole or in part, at any time with or without notice to you. You may not assign this Agreement or assign, transfer, or sublicense your rights, if any, to access or use the Services and Reports, and any attempt by you to do so is void. The Webmethod’s failure to act with respect to a breach by you or others does not waive its right to act with respect to subsequent or similar breaches. A waiver will only be binding on Webmethod if it is in a written document signed by Webmethod. This Agreement (including any incorporated terms) constitutes the entire agreement between you and Webmethod with respect to the Services. Both you and Webmethod warrant to each other that, in entering into this Agreement, neither Webmethod nor you have relied on or will have any right or remedy based upon any statement, representation, warranty, or assurance other than those expressly stated in this Agreement. The preceding sentence will not limit or exclude any liability that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable law. No one other than you and Webmethod, or Webmethod’s successors and assigns, will have any right to enforce any of this Agreement. Neither this Agreement nor the Services create a partnership, joint venture, employment, or other agency relationship between us. You may not enter into any contract on our behalf or bind us in any way.
