  1. Irreparable Harm
Licensee acknowledges that its breach of any provision of this Agreement will cause irreparable harm that is not readily calculable.  Accordingly, ITW Fastex shall be entitled to all available remedies at law or in equity, including injunctive relief, and will not be obligated to post any bonds or prove any monetary damages to pursue such relief.

  1. Miscellaneous
14.1 The relationship between ITW Fastex and Licensee established by this Agreement is that of independent contractors. No joint venture or partnership is established by this Agreement. Neither Party is the agent, broker, partner, employee, or legal representative of the other for any purpose. 14.2 All notices, requests, consents, claims, demands, waivers and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given: (a) when delivered by hand (with written confirmation of receipt); (b) when received by the addressee if sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier (receipt requested); (c) on the date sent by facsimile or e-mail of a PDF document if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, and on the next business day if sent after normal business hours of the recipient; or (d) on the third day after the date mailed, by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid. Such communications must be sent to the respective Parties at the addresses as may be designated by a Party from time to time. 14.3 This Agreement, together with all schedules attached hereto constitutes the sole and entire agreement between Licensee and ITW Fastex with respect to the subject matter contained herein, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations and warranties, both written and oral, with respect to such subject matter. 14.4 Licensee shall not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights, or delegate or otherwise transfer any of its obligations or performance, under this Agreement, in each case whether voluntarily, involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, without ITW Fastex’s prior written consent, which consent ITW Fastex may give or withhold in its sole discretion. For purposes of the preceding sentence, and without limiting its generality, any merger, consolidation or reorganization involving Licensee (regardless of whether Licensee is a surviving or disappearing entity) will be deemed to be a transfer of rights, obligations or performance under this Agreement for which ITW Fastex’s prior written consent is required. No delegation or other transfer will relieve Licensee of any of its obligations or performance under this Agreement. Any purported assignment, delegation or transfer in violation of this Section is void. ITW Fastex may freely assign or otherwise transfer all or any of its rights, or delegate or otherwise transfer all or any of its obligations or performance, under this Agreement without Licensee’s consent. This Agreement is binding upon and inures to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns. 14.5 This Agreement is for the sole benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer on any other Person any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement. 14.6 This Agreement may only be amended, modified or supplemented by an agreement in writing signed by each Party hereto. No waiver by any Party of any of the provisions hereof shall be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and signed by the Party so waiving. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, no failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege arising from this Agreement shall operate or be construed as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. 14.7 If any portion of this Agreement shall be determined to be in violation of or contrary to any controlling law, rule, or regulation by a court of competent jurisdiction, then that portion shall be unenforceable and deleted from the Agreement, but all other terms of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect so long as deletion of that portion does not materially affect the nature of the Agreement or render the Agreement as a whole as counter to the Parties’ intentions with respect to execution thereof. 14.8 This Agreement shall be construed without regard to any presumption or rule requiring construction or interpretation against the Party drafting an instrument or causing any instrument to be drafted. All schedules referred to herein shall be construed with, and as an integral part of, this Agreement to the same extent as if they were set forth verbatim herein. 14.9 This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument.  This Agreement may be executed by the execution of facsimiles, and the Parties agree that the facsimiles that bear facsimiles of the signatures of both Parties shall constitute originals of the Agreement. 14.10 The Agreement is to be construed under and governed by the laws of New Zealand, excepting any conflict of law provisions, and any judicial remedy sought relative to this Agreement, as well as Licensee’s use of the ITW Fastex Documents and Licensee’s use of the ITW Fastex Website, are subject to the laws of New Zealand and  shall be brought only in a court of appropriate jurisdiction in New Zealand. 14.11 Entire Understanding.  This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding of the Parties with respect to its subject matter, and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof.  Any amendment or modification of this Agreement shall be in writing and executed by duly authorized representatives of the Parties.  Further relationships, if any, must be defined by separate written agreements.
