NoTraffic reserves the right to limit, throttle or cap data use to ensure the applicable Subscription Scope is not exceeded.
2.4. Restrictions. As a condition to the Subscription, Customer shall not (and shall not permit or encourage others to ), in whole or in part: (a) copy, “frame” or “mirror” the NoTraffic Materials; (b) sell, assign, transfer, lease, rent, sublicense, or otherwise distribute or make available the NoTraffic Materials to any third party (such as offering it as part of a time-sharing, outsourcing or service bureau environment); (c) publicly perform, display or communicate the NoTraffic Materials; (d) modify, alter, adapt, arrange, or translate the NoTraffic Materials; (e) decompile, disassemble, decrypt, reverse engineer, extract, or otherwise attempt to discover the source code or non-literal aspects (such as the underlying structure, sequence, organization, file formats, non-public APIs, ideas, or algorithms) of, the NoTraffic Materials; (f) remove, alter, or conceal any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary rights notices displayed on or in the NoTraffic Materials; (g) circumvent, disable or otherwise interfere with security-related or technical features or protocols of the NoTraffic Materials; (h) make a derivative work of the NoTraffic Materials, or use them to develop any service or product that is the same as (or substantially similar to) it; (i) store or transmit any robot, malware, Trojan horse, spyware, or similar malicious item intended (or that has the potential) to damage or disrupt the NoTraffic Materials; (j) employ any hardware, software, device, or technique to pool connections, devices or users that directly access or use the NoTraffic Materials (sometimes referred to as ‘virtualisation’, ‘multiplexing’ or ‘pooling’) in order to circumvent any limitations or conditions on the scope of the Subscription; (k) forge or manipulate identifiers in order to disguise the origin of any data or content inputted or uploaded to, or transmitted through, the NoTraffic Materials by Customer; or (l) take any action that imposes or may impose (as determined in NoTraffic’s reasonable discretion) an unreasonable or disproportionately large load on the servers, network, bandwidth, or other cloud infrastructure which operate or support the NoTraffic Materials, or otherwise systematically abuse or disrupt the integrity of such servers, network, bandwidth, or infrastructure.
2.5. Reservation of Rights. Any rights not expressly granted herein are hereby reserved by NoTraffic and its licensors and suppliers, and, except for the Subscription, Customer is granted no other right or license to the NoTraffic Materials, whether by implied license, estoppel, exhaustion, operation of law, or otherwise. NoTraffic shall be entitled, from time to time and without notice, to modify and replace the Features (but not material functionalities, unless it improves the material functionality) and user interface of the Service. Customer acknowledges and agrees that its Subscription, as well as any purchases hereunder, is not contingent on the delivery of any future Feature, or dependent on any oral or written statements made by or on behalf of NoTraffic regarding future Features.
2.6. Suspension. NoTraffic reserve the right to temporarily suspend provision of the Service: (a) if Customer is seven (7) days or more overdue on a payment; (b) if NoTraffic deems such suspension necessary as a result of Customer breach of the Subscription (such as a breach under Section 2.4 (Restrictions)); (c) if NoTraffic reasonably determines suspension is necessary to avoid material harm to NoTraffic, to its other customers, or to the Service (for example, if the cloud infrastructure is experiencing denial of service attacks or other attacks or disruptions outside of NoTraffic’s control); and/or (d) as required by Law or at the request of governmental entities.
2.7. Hosting and Availability. The Service (as well as all Customer Content) will be hosted by a third party hosting services provider selected by NoTraffic (“Hosting Provider“), and accordingly the availability of the Service shall be in accordance with the Hosting Provider’s then-current uptime commitments. NoTraffic shall endeavor to promptly notify Customer in writing if NoTraffic engages a new Hosting Provider under this Agreement. In the event NoTraffic decides to host the Service internally on NoTraffic’s own servers under this Agreement, then, at the written request of Customer, the parties agree to negotiate in good faith an addendum to this Agreement to address Service uptime availability.
2.8. Third Party Integrations. Customer may be able to integrate its Account with third party applications that the Service supports (a “Third Party Application“). As part of such integration, the Third Party Application may provide NoTraffic with access to certain information that Customer has provided to such Third Party Application. The type of such information provided to NoTraffic, as well as the manner in which the Third Party Application uses, stores, and discloses such information, is governed solely by the policies of the third party operating the Third Party Application, and NoTraffic shall have no liability or responsibility for the privacy practices or other actions of such third parties. NoTraffic enable such integrations merely as a convenience, and the availability of such integrations does not (and shall not be construed to) in any way imply, suggest, or constitute any sponsorship, endorsement, or approval by NoTraffic of such Third Party Application or third party, nor any affiliation between NoTraffic and such third party. NoTraffic shall have no obligation or liability of any kind whatsoever for a Third Party Application or for the third party’s policies, practices, actions, or omissions.
3.1. Lease. The Systems are only leased (and not sold) to Customer. Customer shall ensure that the Systems remain within its custody and control at all times. Title to the Systems remain with NoTraffic (or its supplier) at all times. For the duration of the Systems remaining in Customer’s possession or control, Customer shall be solely responsible for the safe keeping, supervision, custody and insurance of such items. On termination of this Agreement for any reason, NoTraffic and its Affiliates (as well as their respective contractors) shall have the right (but not the obligation) to: (A) remove the Systems from the applicable Intersections, and (B) otherwise re-possess and secure the return to NoTraffic or its Affiliates of all Systems, and Customer shall fully cooperate in such efforts.
3.2. Delivery. NoTraffic shall make commercially reasonable efforts to meet any System delivery date(s) stated in the Order Form; however, Customer acknowledges that delivery is dependent on third parties outside NoTraffic’s control. Furthermore, and unless expressly stated otherwise in the Order Form, delivery time is not of the essence. Unless specified otherwise in the Order Form, delivery of the Systems shall be prepaid, and will be made Ex Works (Incoterms 2010) at NoTraffic’s (or, if applicable, its fulfillment provider’s) designated facility (at which time risk of loss of, loss of use of, or damage to, the Systems shall pass to Customer). NoTraffic shall cooperate with Customer (or its designated freight carrier) to facilitate shipping.
4.1. Support Services. Subject to Customer remaining current on all payments under the Order Form, NoTraffic (and/or its Affiliates) shall provide Customer the Support Services. NoTraffic may subcontract Support Services (in whole or in part) to a third party service provider, and NoTraffic shall remain primarily responsible for such contractor’s performance of the Support Services.
4.2. Professional Services. Subject to any payment applicable therefor specified in the Order Form, NoTraffic (and/or its Affiliates) shall provide Customer with any Professional Services specified in the Order Form (“Initial Professional Services“). Any additional Professional Services (“Additional Professional Services“) shall be subject to mutual agreement of the parties and shall be set out in sequential Statements of Work that reference this Agreement and are executed by both parties (each, an “SOW“). Additional Professional Services shall be charged in accordance with the corresponding SOWs. Each SOW is hereby deemed incorporated into this Agreement by reference. To the extent of any conflict between the main body of this Agreement and an SOW, the former shall prevail, unless and to the extent that the SOW expressly states otherwise. As part of any Professional Services, Customer shall cooperate with, and provide and obtain all access, approvals, consents and licenses needed by, NoTraffic to perform the Professional Services. In respect of any Professional Services provided at any non-NoTraffic location, then unless otherwise specified in the SOW, Customer will reimburse NoTraffic for its reasonable travel, lodging and meal expenses incurred in connection therewith. NoTraffic may subcontract Professional Services (in whole or in part) to a third party contractor, and NoTraffic shall remain primarily responsible for such contractor’s performance of the Professional Services.
5.1. Fees. Customer agrees to pay all fees and other charges stated in the Order Form (“Fees“), and in accordance with such Order Form’s payment terms. Customer authorizes NoTraffic (either directly or through third parties) to request and collect payment (or otherwise charge, refund or take any other billing actions) from NoTraffic’s payment provider or Customer’s designated banking account, and to make any inquiries NoTraffic deems necessary to validate Customer’s designated payment account or financial information, in order to ensure prompt payment (including for the purpose of receiving updated payment details from Customer’s payment, credit card or banking account provider – such as, updated expiry date or card number as may be provided to NoTraffic by Customer’s credit card company).
5.2. General. Unless expressly stated otherwise in an Order Form: (a) all Fees are stated, and are to be paid, in US Dollars; (b) all Fees are payable in advance; (c) all payments under this Agreement are non-refundable, and are without any right of set-off or cancellation; and (d) any amount not paid when due will accrue interest on a daily basis until paid in full, at the lesser of the rate of one and a half percent (1.5%) per month and the highest amount permitted by Applicable Law. Amounts payable under this Agreement are exclusive of all applicable sales, use, consumption, VAT, GST, and other taxes, duties or governmental charges, except for taxes based upon NoTraffic’s net income. In the event that Customer is required by any Applicable Law to withhold or deduct taxes for any payment under this Agreement, then the amounts due to NoTraffic shall be increased by the amount necessary so that NoTraffic receives and retains, free from liability for any deduction or withholding, an amount equal to the amount it would have received had Customer not made any such withholding or deduction.
5.3. Customer PO. If a purchase order (or purchase order number) is required by Customer in order for an invoice to be paid, then Customer must promptly provide such purchase order (or number) to NoTraffic. Any terms or conditions (whether printed, hyperlinked, or otherwise) in a purchase order or related correspondence, which purport to modify or supplement this Agreement (or the corresponding Order Form), shall be void and of no effect.
5.4. Purchasing via Third Party. If Customer is purchasing the Subscription and/or the System through a Distributor, then: (a) instead of paying NoTraffic, Customer will pay the applicable amounts to the third party, as agreed between Customer and the third party, and NoTraffic may suspend or terminate Customer’s Subscription if NoTraffic does not receive the corresponding payment from the third party; (b) Customer’s Subscription and related order details will be as stated in the Order Form placed with NoTraffic by the third party on Customer’s behalf, and the third party is responsible for the accuracy of any such Order Form as communicated to NoTraffic; (c) if Customer is entitled to a refund under the terms and conditions of this Agreement, then, unless NoTraffic specifies otherwise, NoTraffic will refund any applicable fees to the third party, and the third party alone will be responsible for refunding the appropriate amounts to Customer; and (d) the third party is not authorized to modify any of these terms and conditions, or make any promises or commitments on NoTraffic’s behalf, and NoTraffic is not bound by any obligations to Customer other than as set forth in this Agreement.
5.5. Reporting. NoTraffic may issue Subscription- and Fee-related reporting and billing notices via email to the applicable Customer contact email address specified in the Order Form (or associated with your Account), as well as via a functionality of the Service.
As between Customer and NoTraffic, Customer is solely responsible and liable for all Customer Content. Customer hereby represents and warrants that: (a) its Customer Content, as well as any Customer use of other NoTraffic Content (such as raw road video footage), does not, and will not, violate any third party rights or any Applicable Law (including privacy and data protection laws); (b) it has obtained, and will maintain, any and all licenses, permissions, consents, approvals, and authorizations required in connection with Customer Content.
As between Customer and NoTraffic, NoTraffic is, and shall be, the sole and exclusive owner of all right, title and interest (including without limitation all Intellectual Property Rights) in and to: (a) all NoTraffic Materials; (b) any non-Customer-identifying information, data, reporting, analyses, and/or intelligence relating to the operation or support of, and/or Customer’s use of or interaction with, any NoTraffic Materials (such as metadata, aggregated data, analytics, security findings or discoveries, etc.); and (c) any and all improvements, derivative works, modifications or customizations of or to any NoTraffic Materials, regardless of inventorship or authorship. Except as otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties, Customer grants NoTraffic a non-exclusive, fully paid and royalty-free, transferable, sub-licensable, worldwide license without any restrictions to use, reproduce, modify, perform, display, distribute, and otherwise disclose any and all suggestions, feedback, modifications, solutions or anonymized data that Customer provides to NoTraffic in regard to the NoTraffic Materials, and Customer waives any rights in the NoTraffic Materials in response thereto.
Customer acknowledges that the raw road video footage will be stored on the System for three (3) days, following which it will be automatically erased from the System. Any additional memory storage will be subject to payment by Customer of additional charges.
Each party and/or its Affiliates (the “Recipient“) may have access to certain non-public or proprietary information and materials of the other party and/or its Affiliates (the “Discloser“), whether in tangible or intangible form (“Confidential Information“). Confidential Information shall not include information and material which: (a) at the time of disclosure by Discloser to Recipient hereunder, was in the public domain; (b) after disclosure by Discloser to Recipient hereunder, becomes part of the public domain through no fault of the Recipient; (c) was rightfully in the Recipient’s possession at the time of disclosure by the Discloser hereunder, and which is not subject to prior continuing obligations of confidentiality; (d) is rightfully disclosed to the Recipient by a third party having the lawful right to do so; or (e) independently developed by the Recipient without use of, or reliance upon, Confidential Information received from the Discloser. The Recipient shall not disclose the Discloser’s Confidential Information to any third party, except to its employees, advisers, agents and investors, subject to substantially similar written confidentiality undertakings. Recipient shall take commercially reasonable measures, at a level at least as protective as those taken to protect its own Confidential Information of like nature, to protect the Discloser’s Confidential Information within its possession or control, from disclosure to a third party. The Recipient shall use the Discloser’s Confidential Information solely for the purposes of performing under this Agreement. In the event that Recipient is required to disclose Confidential Information of the Discloser pursuant to any Applicable Law (e.g., subpoena), the Recipient will, if lawfully permitted to do so, notify the Discloser within a reasonable time prior to disclosure and to allow the Discloser a reasonable opportunity to seek appropriate protective measures or other remedies prior to disclosure. If Discloser does not seek or obtain such protective measures or other remedies, the Recipient may disclose only the portion of Discloser’s Confidential Information required by Applicable Law and exercise reasonable efforts to obtain confidential treatment of that information. Upon termination of this Agreement, or otherwise upon reasonable written request by the Discloser, the Recipient shall promptly return to Discloser its Confidential Information (or if embodied electronically, permanently erase it, and if requested, certify such erasure in a signed writing).
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Customer shall not disclose any of the Order Form’s pricing or payment terms to any third party, without NoTraffic’s prior express written consent.
Customer shall maintain in the ordinary course of business appropriate records in connection with this Agreement throughout the Term of this Agreement and for at least two (2) years thereafter. Customer agrees that NoTraffic may audit (both on-premise and remotely) such records to determine Customer’s compliance with this Agreement and its payment obligations. Any such audit shall be at NoTraffic’s expense, require reasonable written notice, and be performed during Customer’s normal business hours. If an audit reveals underpayments of fees due pursuant to this Agreement, then Customer shall immediately pay NoTraffic such underpayments, as well as reimburse NoTraffic for the expense incurred by NoTraffic in performing the audit.
THE NOTRAFFIC MATERIALS AND ALL OTHER ITEMS PROVIDED BY NOTRAFFIC ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS, WITH ALL FAULTS, AND WITHOUT ANY REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY, GUARANTEE OR CONDITION OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, QUIET POSSESSION, NON-INFRINGEMENT, TITLE, OR THAT OTHERWISE ARISE FROM A COURSE OF PERFORMANCE OR DEALING, OR USAGE OF TRADE, ALL OF WHICH ARE HEREBY DISCLAIMED BY NOTRAFFIC AND ITS SUPPLIERS AND LICENSORS.
NOTRAFFIC DOES NOT MAKE ANY REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY, GUARANTEE OR CONDITION, AND SHALL HAVE NO RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY FOR ANY DAMAGE, LOSS, COST OR EXPENSE WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION DEATH, PERSONAL INJURY, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE) REGARDING:
(A) THE EFFECTIVENESS, USEFULNESS, RELIABILITY, COMPLETENESS, ACCURACY, OR QUALITY OF ANY NOTRAFFIC MATERIALS OR OTHER CONTENT, OR THAT THE USE THEREOF WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE;
(B) THE OPERATION OF ANY CELLULAR NETWORKS, THE PASSING OR TRANSMISSION OF CONTENT VIA ANY NETWORKS OR THE CLOUD, OR ANY OTHER CELLULAR OR DATA CONNECTIVITY PROBLEMS;
(C) CONTENT RECEIVED FROM OR SHARED WITH ANY THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE APPLICATIONS OR APIs, OR TRANSMISSION OF CONTENT VIA OTHER COMMUNICATION METHODS (SUCH AS V2X); AND/OR
(D) THE SATISFACTION OF, OR COMPLIANCE WITH, ANY GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS OR STANDARDS.
11.1. EXCEPT FOR BREACHES OF CONFIDENTIALITY UNDER SECTION 8 (CONFIDENTIALITY), A BREACH OF THE SUBSCRIPTION (SUCH AS A BREACH OF THE RESTRICTIONS IN SECTION 2.4), AND/OR GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY, ITS AFFILIATES, OR ITS SUPPLIERS OR LICENSORS BE LIABLE UNDER, OR OTHERWISE IN CONNECTION WITH, THIS AGREEMENT, FOR:
(A) ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES;
(B) ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF BUSINESS, LOSS OF REVENUE, OR LOSS OF ANTICIPATED SAVINGS;
(C) ANY LOSS OF, OR DAMAGE OR INTERRUPTION TO, DATA, NETWORKS, HARDWARE, REPUTATION, OR GOODWILL; AND/OR
(D) THE COST OF PROCURING ANY SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES.
11.2. THE COMBINED AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF NOTRAFFIC AND ALL NOTRAFFIC AFFILIATES UNDER, OR OTHERWISE IN CONNECTION WITH, THIS AGREEMENT SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT ACTUALLY PAID BY CUSTOMER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE DATE GIVING RISE TO LIABILITY.
11.3. THE FOREGOING EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS SHALL APPLY: (A) TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW; (B) EVEN IF A PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED, OR SHOULD HAVE BEEN AWARE, OF THE POSSIBILITY OF LOSSES, DAMAGES, OR COSTS; (C) EVEN IF ANY REMEDY IN THIS AGREEMENT FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE; AND (D) REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OR BASIS OF LIABILITY, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION BREACH OF WARRANTY, NEGLIGENCE, MISREPRESENTATION, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHER CONTRACT, TORT OR STATUTORY LIABILITY.
12. INDEMNIFICATION. In the event a third party makes or institutes any claim, action, or proceeding against Customer alleging that Customer’s use of the Service in accordance with this Agreement infringes such third party’s copyright or patent (an “Infringement Claim“), NoTraffic shall:
(a) defend Customer against the Infringement Claim; and
(b) indemnify and hold harmless Customer for any amount finally awarded against or imposed upon Customer (or otherwise agreed in settlement) under the Infringement Claim.
As a condition to such defense and indemnification, Customer agrees: (A) to provide NoTraffic with prompt written notice of the Infringement Claim; (B) to cede to NoTraffic full control of the defense and settlement of the Infringement Claim (except that any non-monetary obligation imposed on Customer under a settlement shall require Customer’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); (C) to provide NoTraffic with all information and assistance reasonably requested by NoTraffic; and (D) not to admit any liability under (or otherwise compromise) the Infringement Claim. Any participation by Customer in the defense of the Infringement Claim shall be at Customer’s own cost and expense.
NoTraffic will have no liability under this Section (Indemnification) to the extent that the Infringement Claim is based on or results from: (i) a modification to the Service not made by NoTraffic; (ii) the combination of the Service with any third party product or service; and/or (iii) any Customer instructions or specifications.
Should the Service (in whole or in part) become, or in NoTraffic’s opinion be likely to become, the subject of an Infringement Claim, then Customer permits NoTraffic, at NoTraffic’s option and expense, to either: (x) obtain for Customer the right to continue using the Service (or part thereof); or (y) replace or modify the Service (or part thereof) so that it’s use hereunder becomes non-infringing; provided, however, that if (x) and (y) are not, in NoTraffic’s opinion, commercially feasible, NoTraffic may terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Customer, and Customer shall be entitled to receive a pro-rated refund of any pre-paid and unutilized Fees (that are attributable to the Subscription) hereunder based on the remaining period of the Term.
This Section (Indemnification) represents NoTraffic’s sole and exclusive obligation and liability, and Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy, for Infringement Claims.

Following the initial Subscription term (“Initial Term“), the Parties may, by way of a mutually signed written instrument, renew the Subscription for one or more additional terms (each, a “Renewal Term“, and together with the Initial Term, the “Term“). For Indirect Customers, payments for a Renewal Term will be made either to NoTraffic or the applicable Distributor, as decided in writing between the parties.
13.2. Termination for Breach.

Sections 7 (IP Ownership) through 16 (Miscellaneous) shall survive termination of this Agreement, as shall any right, obligation or provision that is expressly stated to so survive or that ought by its nature to survive.

This Agreement (including its validity) shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, USA without regard to any conflicts of laws rules or principles.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, NoTraffic reserves the right to seek equitable relief in any court worldwide of competent jurisdiction. Furthermore, the parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waive the right to litigate such Disputes in court before a jury.

Any claims or damages that Customer may have against NoTraffic shall only be enforceable against NoTraffic, and not any other entity or NoTraffic’s officers, directors, representatives, or agents. Customer acknowledges and agrees that it may bring claims against NoTraffic only in its individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, representative, or private attorney general action or capacity.
16.1. Entire Agreement. This Agreement represents the entire agreement between NoTraffic and Customer with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes and replaces any and all prior and contemporaneous oral and/or written agreements, understandings and statements between Customer and NoTraffic with respect to such subject matter. Customer acknowledges and agrees that in entering into this Agreement it has not relied on any statement or representation (whether negligently or innocently made) not expressly set out in this Agreement, such as statements and explanations in any FAQs, summaries or explanatory guides regarding this Agreement, or other marketing material on the NoTraffic website. To the extent of any conflict or inconsistency between these terms and conditions on the one hand, and the Order Form (if any) on the other hand, the former shall prevail (unless the Order Form expressly overrides a provision herein). The language of this Agreement is expressly agreed to be the English language. By entering into the Agreement Customer hereby irrevocably waives, to the maximum extent legally permitted, any Applicable Law requiring that the Agreement be localized to meet Customer’s language (as well as any other localization requirements), or requiring an original (non-electronic) signature or delivery or retention of non-electronic records. Les parties aux présentes confirment leur volonté que cette convention, de même que tous les documents, y compris tout avis, qui s’y rattachent, soient rédigés en langue anglaise. The Section headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reading only, and shall not to be used or relied upon for interpretive purposes.
16.2. Modifications to Agreement. NoTraffic may, from time to time and in its sole discretion, modify or supplement the terms and conditions of this Agreement, by providing written notice (which notice may be via email and/or via Customer’s Account) to Customer of such amendments. The amended Agreement shall be deemed accepted and take effect thirty (30) days after the date such notice is given, unless Customer informs NoTraffic in writing that Customer does not accept such amendments within such thirty (30) day period. In the event Customer so informs NoTraffic, the proposed amendments will not take effect (and the existing terms and conditions will continue to apply) until the next Renewal Term (if any).

At NoTraffic’s sole discretion, any NoTraffic obligation hereunder may be performed (in whole or in part), and any NoTraffic right or remedy may be exercised (in whole or in part), by a NoTraffic Affiliate. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, NoTraffic may assign its right to invoice and receive payments under this Agreement to an NoTraffic Affiliate.
16.4. Assignment. NoTraffic may assign this Agreement (or any of its rights and/or obligations hereunder) without Customer’s consent, and without notice or obligation to Customer.

In the event such court does not exercise the power granted to it as aforesaid, then such provision will be ineffective solely as to such jurisdiction (and only to the extent and for the duration of such illegality, invalidity or unenforceability), and will be substituted (in respect of such jurisdiction) with a valid, legal and enforceable provision that most closely approximates the original legal intent and economic impact of such provision.
