This Agreement does not in any way create the relationship of principal and agent, franchisor and franchisee, partners or employer and employee between the parties, and in no circumstances shall either party, or Otuvy Employees, Client Employees, or similar persons, be considered the agents or employees of the other party. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Client shall be responsible for the management and control of Client’s business, including, without limitation, directing the daily operations of its business, determining the specific means of achieving performance guidelines, directing and managing Client’s employees, paying all costs and expenses associated with Client’s business (including all of its own employee wages, fees, benefits, taxes, debts and other obligations), purchasing all necessary supplies, samples, inventory, products, materials and other items, obtaining necessary financing and other matters.

In addition, Client acknowledges and agrees that the relationship created between Otuvy and Sales Contractors is that of independent contractors. Any agreement entered into between Otuvy and Sales Contractors does not in any way create the relationship of principal and agent, franchisor and franchisee, partners, or employer and employee between Otuvy and Sales Contractors, and in no circumstances shall Otuvy or Sales Contractors be considered the agents or employees of the other party. Sales Contractors are not authorized officers of Otuvy and do not have authority to enter into agreements with Client in behalf of Otuvy, including this Agreement. Client should not rely on any oral or written representations made by Sales Contractors regarding information relating to this Agreement or otherwise.
7.2 Franchise and Business Opportunity Status. This Agreement does not in any way infer or contemplate that Otuvy is offering a franchise, business opportunity, or sales or marketing program to Client. Otuvy and Sales Contractors each act as independent contractors as specified herein, and there are no representations, assurances or guarantees of any profits made by Otuvy or Sales Contractors to Client pursuant to this Agreement or that Client will make enough to exceed what it may pay under this Agreement. Client agrees that Otuvy and Sales Contractors are not exercising and do not have authority to exercise significant control over Client’s method of operation, business organization, promotional activities, management, marketing plan or business affairs, and that Otuvy and Sales Contractors are not providing and will not provide significant assistance to Client in Client’s method of operation, business organization, promotional activities, management, marketing plan or business affairs.

7.4 Dispute Resolution. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, except as otherwise provided in Subsection (3) below, the parties to this Agreement agree that it is in their best interest to resolve disputes between them in an orderly fashion and in a consistent manner, and that the provisions of this Section 7.4 shall survive termination of this Agreement. The parties agree as follows:
(1) The parties shall use their best efforts to resolve and settle by direct, private negotiation of any disputes, controversies or claims between them, their affiliates, owners, shareholders, members, officers, directors, managers, employees and agents arising out of, relating to or pertaining to this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement, any breach of this Agreement or the provisions therein, enforcement of this Agreement or the provisions therein, or the relationship of the parties created by this Agreement (hereinafter “Dispute”). Both parties may seek the advice and assistance of legal counsel in connection with any such negotiation.
(2) If the parties cannot resolve and settle a Dispute by private negotiations as referred to in Subsection (1) above within sixty (60) days after one party gives the other written notice that a Dispute exists, the parties mutually agree to submit the Dispute to arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association in Salt Lake City, Utah in the United States under its Commercial Arbitration Rules on demand of either or both parties. The Dispute shall be referred to a single arbitrator, if the parties agree upon one, or otherwise to three (3) arbitrators, one to be appointed by each party and a third arbitrator to be appointed by the first named arbitrators for each. The award or determination of the matter shall be made by the arbitrator(s) and shall be conclusive, final and binding upon the parties. Each party waives any right to contest the validity or enforceability of such award. The parties agree to be bound by the provisions of any limitation on the period of time by which claims must be brought. The parties agree that, in connection with any such arbitration proceeding, each will submit or file any claims which would constitute a compulsory counterclaim (as defined by Rule 13 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, as amended or any successor provisions thereto) within the same proceedings as the claim to which it relates. The arbitrator or arbitrators shall apply Utah law and applicable federal law without regard to Utah conflicts of law provisions and shall make their award in accordance with and based upon the provisions of this Agreement and applicable law. The parties further agree that arbitration shall be conducted on an individual, and not a class-wide, basis. The arbitrator shall have the right to award or include in the award any relief which the arbitrator deems appropriate pursuant to this Agreement and applicable law in the circumstances, including, without limitation, money damages, specific performance, injunctive relief, and attorneys’ fees and costs, except that the arbitrator shall not award punitive or exemplary damages. The parties understand that they are waiving their right to a jury trial with respect to the arbitration. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) shall be in writing and may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
(3) In the event of a Dispute relating to Sections 2.1 (relating to the license or Use of the Otuvy QM Subscription Services, use of the Documentation and/or use of other services and/or products provided by Otuvy or its designees, directly or indirectly), 4.7 or 4.8 (relating to confidentiality), or 4.9 (relating to intellectual property and confidentiality rights) of this Agreement, the provisions of Subsections (1) and (2) above shall have no application to Otuvy and Otuvy may pursue actions in court or elsewhere as permitted by law, subject to the jurisdiction, venue, governing law, remedy and other provisions of this Agreement relating to the same.
7.5 Attorneys' Fees. Each party shall pay their own attorneys’ fees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Otuvy incurs attorneys’ fees or costs in order to enforce the terms and conditions in Sections 2.1, 4.7, 4.8 or 4.9 of this Agreement, Otuvy shall be entitled to reimbursement of such attorneys' fees and costs from Client, in addition to all other rights and remedies Otuvy may have at law or in equity.
These are Standard Agreement Closing Terms

7.7 Force Majeure. Neither party shall incur any liability to the other party on account of any loss or damage resulting from any delay or failure to perform all or any part of this Agreement if such delay or failure is caused, in whole or in part, by events, occurrences, or causes wholly beyond the control and without the negligence of said party. Such events, occurrences or causes shall include, without limitation, acts of nature, strikes, lockouts, riots, acts of war, earthquakes, fire and explosions, but the delay or failure to meet financial or payment obligations under this Agreement is expressly excluded.

7.9 Waiver. The failure of either party to take any action under this Agreement, or the waiver of a breach of this Agreement, shall not affect that party's rights to require performance hereunder or constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach.
7.10 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is found to be invalid or unenforceable by a court or tribunal, or by arbitration, whether due to particular time limits, unreasonableness or otherwise, it is agreed that the provision in question shall be reduced or otherwise modified by such court or tribunal, or arbitration, but only to the extent necessary to permit its enforcement and only in such court's jurisdiction. If the particular provision cannot be reduced or modified to make it enforceable, that provision shall then be severed from this Agreement and the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect giving maximum validity and enforceability to this Agreement.
