This Agreement constitutes the complete and exclusive statement of the agreement between Provider and Client in connection with the parties’ business relationship related to the subject matter hereof, and all previous representations, discussions, and writings (including any confidentiality agreements) are merged in and superseded by this Agreement and the parties disclaim any reliance on any such representations, discussions and writings. This Agreement may be modified only by a writing signed by both parties. This Agreement shall prevail over any additional, conflicting, or inconsistent terms and conditions which may appear on any purchase order furnished by one party to the other, and any additional terms and conditions in any such purchase order shall have no force and effect, notwithstanding the non-furnishing party’s acceptance or execution of such purchase order. Unless the context requires otherwise, wherever used herein the singular shall include the plural and vice versa.

15.12. Assignment. Neither party may assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder, whether by operation of law or otherwise, without the other party’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld); provided, however, either party may assign this Agreement in its entirety (together with all Order Forms), without the other party’s consent to its Affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a party is acquired by, sells substantially all of its assets to, or undergoes a change of control in favour of, a direct competitor of the other party, then such other party may terminate this Agreement upon written notice. In the event of such a termination, Provider will refund to Client any prepaid fees allocable to the remainder of the term of all Platform subscriptions for the period after the effective date of such termination. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their respective successors and permitted assigns.

The following order of precedence shall be applied in the event of conflict or inconsistency between the components of this Agreement: (i) the Order Form; (ii) the schedules, Service Description, exhibits and appendices included with or referenced by the Order Form; (iii) and this Master Services Agreement.

15.14. Independent Contractors. The parties are independent contractors, and no partnership, franchise, joint venture, agency, fiduciary or employment relationship between the parties is created hereby. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall create or confer (whether expressly or by implication) any rights or other benefits whether pursuant to the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 or otherwise in favour of any person not a party hereto.
