This Policy and its schedules represent the entire agreement between the parties regarding this subject. This Policy supersedes all previous oral or written communications between the parties regarding the subject, and it may not be modified or waived except in writing and signed by an officer or other authorized representative of each party. Neither party will be liable to the other for any delay or failure to perform if that delay or failure results from a cause beyond its reasonable control. If any provision is held invalid, all other provisions shall remain valid, unless such invalidity would frustrate the purpose of this Agreement. Mexican law governs this Agreement without consideration of that body of law referred to as “conflicts of laws”. PULSE EDGE and AFFILIATE will attempt to settle any claim or controversy arising out of it through consultation and negotiation in good faith and a spirit of mutual cooperation. Any dispute which cannot be resolved through negotiation or mediation may be submitted to the courts of appropriate jurisdiction.
