16. FORCE MAJEURE. Any prevention, delay or stoppage of work or other obligations to be
performed by us that are due to strikes; labor disputes; inability to obtain labor, materials, equipment or reasonable substitutes therefore; acts of nature; governmental restrictions, regulations or controls; judicial orders; enemy or hostile government actions; civil commotion; epidemic, pandemic or wide-spread disease; fire or other casualty or other causes beyond our reasonable control shall excuse performance of the work and our other obligations for a period equal to the duration of that prevention, delay or stoppage.
17. MISCELLANEOUS. Our performance is subject to existing laws and legal process. Any
rights not expressly granted herein are reserved. The rights and obligations arising under the General Terms exist exclusively for the benefit and duty of the Parties hereto and, where expressly stated in the Documents, their respective Related Parties. The General Terms shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors, assigns, heirs and executors of the respective Parties. Any Party’s failure to enforce any provision of the General Terms shall not constitute a waiver of the right to enforce such provision. The provisions of the General Terms may be waived only in a writing executed by the Party intended to be benefited by the provisions, and a waiver by a Party of a breach hereunder by the other Party shall not be construed as a waiver of any succeeding breach of the same or other provisions. Time is expressly made of the essence with respect to the performance of each and every obligation under the General Terms in which time of performance is a factor. The General Terms may be modified in writing only by us. The prevailing Party shall be entitled to be reimbursed by the non-prevailing Party for all costs, including collection, court and attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred by the prevailing Party in any action or defense involving the General Terms. If any portion of the General Terms is held to be unenforceable, any enforceable portion thereof and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. The interpretation and enforcement of the General Terms shall be governed by Utah law without giving effect to those principles of conflict of laws that might otherwise require the application of the laws of another
jurisdiction. If any provision of the General Terms is determined to contravene such governing law, such provision shall be automatically amended to the smallest extent possible to make such provision comply with the applicable governing law and regardless of any such modification, the General Terms shall remain in full force and effect. The General Terms shall be construed as a whole and in accordance with their fair meaning and as though all Parties participated equally in their drafting. No rule of strict construction shall be applied against any Party. There is no agreement, understanding or pending or threatened action or proceeding before any court, governmental agency or arbitrator, at law or in equity, which may materially
and/or adversely affect the ability of the Parties to enter and perform their respective obligations under the Documents or the enforceability of the Documents. No consent or approval of any person or entity, other than the Parties, is required to make the Documents binding upon and enforceable against the Parties. Any reference to any Document shall include such Document both as originally executed and as it may from time to time be modified. Except as expressly stated otherwise in the Documents, each Party shall bear its own costs, including attorneys’ fees and taxes, in connection with the preparation, processing, and performance or its obligations, and receipt of any benefits under the Documents. The Parties shall
cooperate together, take such additional actions, sign such additional documentation, and provide such additional information as reasonably necessary to accomplish and enforce the objectives set forth in the Documents. The Documents shall be deemed to have been executed and shall be performed in the city in Salt Lake City, Utah. In the event that any legal action is instituted by you in connection with the Documents, the same shall be brought and tried in Salt Lake City, Utah. You hereby consent to that jurisdiction. The Parties shall perform their respective obligations under the Documents in compliance with all Applicable Laws. No Party shall have the authority to create any obligation for another Party except to the extent
expressly stated in the Documents. No legal relationship of any kind exists among the Parties as a result of the Documents, other than the covenants expressly contained therein. Nothing in the Documents shall be construed to create any partnership, joint venture, or fiduciary relationship between the Parties and no Party shall be liable for the debts, obligations or liabilities of the other Party, or have the authority to make any representations on behalf of the other Party. You hereby represent and warrant that you are duly authorized to enter into the Documents and that the Documents constitute your legal, valid, binding, and enforceable obligations. The provisions of the Documents which give the Parties rights beyond the
termination or expiration of the Documents, and any provisions which are expressly stated to survive termination of the Documents, including the terms in this Section and all indemnifications, releases,representations, warranties, confidentiality covenants and limitations upon liability in the Documents, shall survive the termination of the Documents for any reason. These General Terms, together with the documents referred to herein, set forth the only and entire agreement between the Parties respecting the subject matter set forth herein; and all prior agreements, whether oral or written, shall be deemed terminated and of no further force and effect.
