11. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms and any dispute arising from or relating to them shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Republic of India, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or in connection with these Terms — including any question regarding their existence, validity, or termination — shall first be attempted to be resolved amicably through good-faith negotiations between the parties within thirty (30) days of written notice from either party.

If the dispute cannot be resolved amicably, it shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration in accordance with the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996. The arbitration shall be conducted by a sole arbitrator mutually appointed by the parties. The seat of arbitration shall be Pune, Maharashtra, and the language shall be English. The arbitral award shall be final and binding on both parties.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sicora shall be entitled to seek injunctive or other equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction in Pune, Maharashtra, to protect its intellectual property rights or confidential information. Subject to the arbitration provision above, the courts in Pune, Maharashtra shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any matter arising from these Terms.

12. Force Majeure

Sicora shall not be liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under these Terms if such failure or delay arises from causes beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, war, terrorism, civil unrest, governmental orders or regulatory changes, pandemics, fire, flood, earthquake, internet or telecommunications failures, denial-of-service attacks, or any other event of force majeure.

13. Severability and Waiver

If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be severed, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. The invalid provision shall be replaced by a valid provision that most closely approximates the economic and legal intent of the original.

No failure or delay by Sicora in exercising any right, power, or remedy under these Terms shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise preclude any further exercise. A waiver of any breach shall not constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach.

14. Assignment

You may not assign, transfer, or sublicense any of your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent. Sicora may assign its rights and obligations under these Terms, in whole or in part, without your consent, to any successor entity in the event of a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets.
