TA may assign its rights, obligations, or duties under this Agreement at any time upon written notice to Affiliate, including in a sale or transfer of all or substantially all of TA’s assets, in a sale or transfer of TA’s accounts, or in a merger of TA with another company.

13. Choice of Laws. You agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or in relation to his Agreement, or the applicability, breach, termination, validity, enforcement, or interpretation thereof, will be settled by binding individual arbitration. If there is a dispute about whether this arbitration clause can be enforced or applies to the dispute between you and TA, the Parties agree that the arbitrator will decide that issue. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you and TA each agree that any claim related to actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights will not be subject to this arbitration clause or arbitration. However, all claims related to actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or intellectual property rights will be interpreted under Delaware law and will be heard exclusively in the state and federal courts located in or with jurisdiction over Dover, Delaware. You and TA agree that the Federal Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration provision. The arbitration will be administered under American Arbitration Association’s most recent Commercial Arbitration Rules then in effect except whereas modified herein. The arbitration will be conducted in Dover, Delaware and will be decided by a single arbitrator randomly selected from a list of neutral arbitrators maintained by the American Arbitration Association. Judgment on any award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction and shall be enforceable consistent with the Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards, commonly referred to as the 1958 New York Convention. The arbitrator will be provided with the right to award costs and attorneys’ fees to the prevailing Party. This arbitration will be held in Dover, Delaware and both parties hereby submit to exclusive personal jurisdiction in Delaware. The arbitrator will apply the laws of the State of Delaware and the federal laws of the United States in deciding any controversy or claim pursuant to this arbitration clause. ANY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER IN ARBITRATION OR OTHERWISE, SHALL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, AND YOU AND TA EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT CLASS ACTION AND REPRESENTATIVE ACTION PROCEDURES SHALL NOT BE ASSERTED IN NOR APPLY TO ANY ARBITRATION PURSUANT TO THESE TERMS.

14. Waiver. The waiver by either party of a breach of or a default under any provision of this Agreement, must be in writing and shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach of or default under the same or any other provision of this Agreement, nor shall any delay or omission on the part of either party to exercise or avail itself of any right or remedy that it has or may have hereunder operate as a waiver of any right or remedy.

15. Relationship of the Parties. Nothing in this Agreement will be deemed or construed as creating a joint venture, partnership, employment, or fiduciary relationship between the parties. Neither party has any authority of any kind to bind the other party. The relationship of the parties is, and at all times shall continue to be, that of independent contractors.

16. Force Majeure. Except for the payment of monies due hereunder, neither party shall be responsible or have any liability for any delay or failure to perform to the extent due to unforeseen circumstances or causes beyond its reasonable control, including, without limitation, acts of God, earthquake, fire, flood, embargoes, labor disputes and strikes, riots, war, Internet or other network “brownouts” or failures, power failures, and acts of civil and military authorities; provided that such party gives the other party prompt written notice of the failure to perform and the reason therefore and uses its reasonable efforts to limit the resulting delay in its performance. To the extent that a force majeure has continued for ten (10) business days, Affiliate or TA may terminate the Agreement, excluding payment obligations, without penalty.

17. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, with the same effect as if the parties had signed the same document. Signed counterparts of this Agreement transmitted via email, fax, or electronically are equivalent to a signed original of this Agreement.

18. Integration. This Agreement, including any exhibit(s), addendum (addenda) or rider(s) attached hereto, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties concerning the subject matter hereof, and supersedes (i) all prior or contemporaneous representations, discussions, proposals, negotiations, conditions, agreements, and communications, whether oral or written, between the parties relating to the subject matter, and (ii) all past courses of dealing and industry custom. No amendment or modification of any provision of this Agreement, exhibit, addendum or rider shall be effective unless in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of each party.
