13.2      Government End Users.  All software and any data relating thereto or derived therefrom are "commercial items" as defined in 48 C.F.R. 2.101, consisting of "commercial computer software" and "commercial computer software documentation" as such terms are used in 48 C.F.R. 12.212.

 

13.3      Injunctive Relief.  Customer agrees that its breach of this Agreement will cause Wind River irreparable harm for which recovery of money damages would be inadequate, and that Wind River shall therefore be entitled to obtain timely injunctive relief to protect Wind River's rights in addition to any and all remedies available at law.

13.6      Use of Customer's Name.  Wind River may use Customer's name and may disclose that Customer is a licensee of Wind River products or services.  Such public disclosures shall not indicate that Customer endorses Wind River products without prior written permission from Customer.  Upon Customer's public announcement of product designed with or containing Wind River products or services, Wind River may publicly disclose the nature of the Wind River involvement in said product.

13.8      Miscellaneous.  This Agreement shall not create any agency, employment relationship, partnership or other form of joint enterprise between the parties.  Failure to require performance shall not preclude a party from requiring performance in the future.  This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between Customer and Wind River and supersedes all prior oral or written agreements between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.  The terms and conditions of any purchase order or other instrument issued by Customer in connection with this Agreement shall be of no force or effect.  This Agreement may only be amended by a writing signed by the parties that refers explicitly to this Agreement.  If a provision of this Agreement is unenforceable or invalid, the provision shall be revised so as to best accomplish the objectives of the parties.  This Agreement is in the English language only, which language shall be controlling in all respects, and all versions of this Agreement in any other language shall be for accommodation only and shall not be binding on the parties to this Agreement.
