The parties agree that any breach of such Sections would cause the other party substantial and irreparable damage and therefore, in the event of any such breach, in addition to other remedies which may be available, the non-breaching party shall have the right to seek specific performance and other injunctive and equitable relief in a court of law.

LANSA reserves the right to gather data on Licence usage by Customer for each item of Licenced Software, including Licence Key numbers, server IP addresses, email addresses of users, domain counts and other information deemed relevant, to ensure that the Licenced Software is being used in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. LANSA expressly prohibits domain count overrides without prior written approval. Customer hereby consents to LANSA gathering and processing such usage information and agrees not to block, electronically or otherwise, the transmission of data required for compliance with this Agreement. Any unauthorized use of the Licenced Software by Customer or other use by Customer in violation of the restrictions contained herein shall be deemed a material breach of this Agreement. In addition to the foregoing, within ten (10) business days of Customer’s receipt of LANSA’s written request, Customer shall provide to LANSA a written report certifying to LANSA the number of Licences for Licenced Software installed, used or accessed by Customer, the identity of the applicable servers, hardware or computers upon which such Licences are installed and, to the extent applicable, the installation location and location and number of users accessing such Licences, together with such other information as may be requested by LANSA and necessary to confirm Customer’s compliance with the terms of this Agreement. The auditing, reporting and certification rights and obligations set forth in this Section 13 shall survive termination of this Agreement for a period of eighteen months.
- ENFORCEABILITY - If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of this Agreement, or portion thereof, to be unenforceable, void, invalid or illegal, that provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent permissible so as to effect the intent of the parties, and the remainder of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.

EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT, AS A CONVENIENCE TO CUSTOMER AND ONLY FOR CUSTOMER’S INTERNAL ACCOUNTING PROCEDURES, CUSTOMER MAY DELIVER TO LANSA A CUSTOMER INVOICE OR CUSTOMER PURCHASE ORDER OR OTHER SIMILAR DOCUMENT FOR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER AND THAT NO ACTION BY LANSA, INCLUDING LANSA’S DELIVERY OF ANY LICENCED MATERIALS OR ACCEPTANCE OF PAYMENT, SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE ACCEPTANCE OF ANY OF THE TERMS OR CONDITIONS CONTAINED IN SUCH CUSTOMER INVOICE OR CUSTOMER PURCHASE ORDER OR OTHER SIMILAR INSTRUMENT AND SUCH TERMS AND CONDITIONS SHALL BE VOID AND OF NO FORCE OR EFFECT, UNLESS ACCEPTED BY LANSA PURSUANT TO A WRITTEN INSTRUMENT SIGNED BY BOTH PARTIES.
