7. GENERAL TERMS
|
||||
|
||||
(a) Entire Agreement; Waiver. This Agreement is the entire understanding of the parties, and supersedes any and all
|
||||
prior agreements or understandings between the parties as to its subject matter. It may be amended or modified, or
|
||||
provisions waived, only in a writing signed by both parties. The waiver of a breach of any provision of this Agreement
|
||||
will not operate or be interpreted as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach.
|
||||
|
||||
(b) Acknowledgement. BlockScience acknowledges and agrees that the “behaviour archetypes” and “configuration of the Null
|
||||
Model” referenced in the PSA are considered “Work Product” under the PSA.
|
||||
|
||||
(c) Governing Law. This Agreement will be construed, interpreted and applies in accordance with the internal laws of
|
||||
British Columbia, Canada (excluding its body of law controlling conflicts of law). Any legal action or proceeding
|
||||
arising under or related to this Agreement will be brought exclusively in the federal or provincial courts located in
|
||||
Vancouver, British Columbia, and the parties irrevocably consent to personal jurisdiction and venue there.
|
||||
|
||||
(d) Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, that
|
||||
provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law, and the remaining provisions will continue in full
|
||||
force and effect.
|
||||
|
||||
(e) Miscellaneous. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, with the same effect as if the parties
|
||||
had signed the same document. Each counterpart so executed will be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts
|
||||
will be construed together and will constitute one Agreement. The prevailing party in any action or legal proceeding
|
||||
arising out of this Agreement will be entitled to recover from the other party all reasonable costs and expenses
|
||||
incurred in connection with such action or proceeding, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs. In the
|
||||
event of a direct conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the PSA with respect to the DLI’s rights in and to
|
||||
the Software, the terms of this Agreement will control.

EXHIBIT A
|
||||
|
||||
SOFTWARE
|
||||
|
||||
Software Name: SimCAD tool
|
||||
|
||||
Software Description: SimCAD is a Monte-Carlo based simulation software package for research, validation, and
|
||||
Computer Aided Design of economic systems. An economic system is treated as a state based model and defined
|
||||
through a set of endogenous and exogenous state variables which are updated through mechanisms and
|
||||
environmental processes, respectively. Behavioral models, which may be deterministic or stochastic, provide the
|
||||
evolution of the system within the action space of the mechanisms. Simulations can be run with a range of initial
|
||||
conditions and parameters for states, behaviors, mechanisms, and environmental processes to understand and
|
||||
visualize network behavior under various conditions.
