12. Integration: Rocketclips reserves the right to pursue any
claim or controversy relating to intellectual property rights,
not by arbitration, but by a court located in the State of California.

us to go to court, or the matter involves copyright, Licensee
agrees to fully reimburse Rocketclips for its reasonable legal
fees, costs, and disbursements if Rocketclips is successful in
the suit. We both designate the United States District Court for

for State suits. Rocketclips reserves the right to seek an injunction
to prevent breach of Licensee's obligation to Rocketclips' intellectual
property rights.
13. General Provisions: If any provision of this Agreement is
found illegal or unenforceable, the legality and enforceability
of the other provisions of the Agreement will not be affected.
Licensee's use of the Stock File(s) must be in compliance with
all applicable law, including but not limited to, laws and regulations
relating to export, currency, and the law of moral rights. This
license will expressly not be governed by the United Nations Convention
on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. No license for
usage of Rocketclips' Products is granted until payment in full
for the Product has been received by Rocketclips. No failure of
either party to exercise or enforce any of its rights hereunder
will serve as a waiver of such rights. This Agreement shall be
governed in all respects by the laws of the State of California,
excluding its' body of law relating to conflicts of law, and excluding
the issue of copyright, including its validity, interpretation,
performance, breach, or other matter. Any and all disputes arising
under this agreement, with the above exceptions, shall be settled
by arbitration pursuant to the rules of the American Arbitration
Association. Judgment upon any arbitration award may be entered
in the highest court having jurisdiction as provided herein. Rocketclips
reserves the right to withdraw Stock Files from use at any time,
for any reason, and Licensee agrees to destroy any such file and
discontinue the use of any Stock Files, Clips, and/or images that
