Either party may terminate this Agreement as set forth elsewhere herein or based upon a breach of this Agreement by <br />the other Party which is not cured within 30 days of written notice thereof. This Section 17 shall not limit the relief, remedies, and <br />damages to which the non-breaching party may be entitled.

Decommissioning of the PDS can be very extensive. Customer must contact PDC at least 90 days before <br />Customer plans to use an alternative dispatch product. At that point, PDC shall provide Customer with more detailed information <br />regarding the decommission process. Part of the Decommission process will involve collecting all PDC intellectual Property and <br />exporting PDS data in a format that will give Customer access to historical records. In order to successfully decommission the PDS, <br />Customer understands that PDC will come on site at their location and Customer must provide a dedicated person (generally an I.T. <br />person) to PDC to allow for the successful decommissioning of the PDS. After the decommission process, any PDC products, <br />intellectual property, or materials found shall be immediately forwarded to PDC. <br />19. Disputes. <br /> (a) United States. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Utah, without <br />regard to the conflict of law’s provisions thereof. This Agreement will not be governed by the United Nations Convention of Contracts <br />for the International Sale of Goods, the application of which is hereby expressly excluded. Venue for all disputes arising out of or <br />relating to this Agreement shall lie exclusively with the state and federal courts sitting in Salt Lake County, Utah, and Customer hereby <br />consents and waives any objection to the jurisdiction of such courts for such disputes and waives personal service of any summons, <br />complaint or other process and agrees that the service thereof may be made by certified or registered mail directed to it at the address <br />listed in the Quote.

If Customer is located outside the United States of America (including territories), this Agreement shall <br />be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Utah, United States of America. Any dispute or difference of any kind <br />whatsoever arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, including any questions in connection with the existence, construction, <br />interpretation, validity, termination, or implementation of this Agreement, shall be referred to and finally settled in accordance with the <br />Rules of Conciliation and Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce then in effect.

Any award made by the arbitration tribunal shall be final and <br />binding on the Parties and shall be enforceable in any country which is a signatory to the 1958 New York Convention. No arbitration of <br />any dispute or difference shall commence unless the Parties have attempted in good faith to settle the same amicably within sixty (60) <br />days after the date of a written notice of arbitration by one Party hereto to the other Party, which notice shall describe generally the <br />nature of the dispute. The costs of arbitration shall be borne by the losing Party. The prevailing Party in any dispute arising out of or <br />relating to this Agreement will be entitled to receive all reasonable expenses of litigation or dispute, including, without limitation, <br />attorney fees.
