Dispute Resolution - Arbitration. The parties will attempt to resolve any claim, dispute, or controversy (whether in contract, tort or otherwise, whether preexisting, present or future, and including statutory, consumer protection, common law, intentional tort and equitable claims) between you and Dell, its agents, employees, principals, successors, assigns, or affiliates (collectively for purposes of this paragraph, "Dell") arising from or relating to the parties' written agreements, their interpretation, or the breach, termination or validity thereof, the relationships which result from the written agreements, the partner direct program, the reseller program, Dell's advertising, or any related purchase (each a "Dispute") through face-to-face negotiation with persons fully authorized to resolve the Dispute or through mediation utilizing a mutually agreeable mediator, rather than through litigation. If the parties are unable to resolve the Dispute through negotiation or mediation within a reasonable time after written notice from one party to the other that a Dispute exists, the Dispute will be settled by binding individual arbitration in accordance with the then current CPR Rules for Non-Administered Arbitration . The Arbitration will be conducted before a single arbitrator mutually agreed to by the parties. If such arbitrator cannot be agreed upon Dell will appoint one (1) arbitrator and you will appoint one (1) arbitrator. The two (2) appointed arbitrators will then select a third arbitrator, who shall be the presiding arbitrator. NEITHER YOU NOR DELL SHALL BE ENTITLED TO JOIN OR CONSOLIDATE CLAIMS BY OR AGAINST OTHER RESELLERS OR PARTNERS, OR ARBITRATE ANY CLAIM AS A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS ACTION OR IN A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL CAPACITY. The individual (non-class) nature of this dispute provision goes to the essence of the parties' arbitration agreement, and if found unenforceable, the entire arbitration provision shall not be enforced. The arbitration hearing shall take place in Austin, Texas, and will be governed by the United States Federal Arbitration Act to the exclusion of any inconsistent state laws. The arbitrators shall base their award on the terms of any written Agreement(s), and will follow the law and judicial precedents that a United States District Judge sitting in the Western District of Texas would apply to the Dispute. (For Canadian entities: the arbitration hearing shall take place in Toronto, Ontario, and will be governed by the Arbitration Act of Ontario and the applicable laws of Ontario and Canada.) The arbitrator shall render its award in writing and will include the findings of fact and conclusion of law upon which their award is based. Judgment upon the arbitration award may be entered by any court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party will have the right to obtain from a court of competent jurisdiction a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, or other equitable relief to preserve the status quo or prevent irreparable harm, although the merits of the underlying Dispute will be resolved in accordance with this paragraph.
  12. Independent Contractors.  No provision of this Agreement will or shall be deemed to create a legal partnership, joint venture, or other combination between Dell and you. You and Dell are independent contractors. Neither party will make any warranties or representations or assume any obligations on the other party's behalf. Neither party is or will claim to be a legal representative, franchisee, agent, or employee of the other party. Each party is responsible for the amounts it incurs arising from this Agreement and for the direction and compensation, and is liable for the actions, of its employees and subcontractors.
  13. Governing Law.  THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THIS AGREEMENT, ANY SALES THEREUNDER, OR ANY CLAIM, DISPUTE, OR CONTROVERSY (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, WHETHER PREEXISTING, PRESENT, OR FUTURE, AND INCLUDING STATUTORY, COMMON LAW, AND EQUITABLE CLAIMS) BETWEEN CUSTOMER AND DELL arising from or relating to this Agreement, its interpretation, or the breach, termination, or validity thereof, the relationships which result from this Agreement, Dell's advertising, or any related purchase SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS (OR FOR CANADIAN ENTITIES, THE PROVINCE OF ONTARIO), WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS-OF-LAWS RULES.
  14. Export.  You acknowledge that the purchased Dell Products and Services licensed or sold under this agreement may include technology and software that are subject to the customs and export control laws and regulations of the United States ("U.S.") or Canada and may also be subject to the customs and export laws and regulations of the country in which Dell Products and Services are manufactured and/or in the case of both Dell Products and Services are received. For any authorized resale under this Agreement, you acknowledge that it is your sole responsibility to comply with those laws and regulations and you agree to fully abide by those laws and regulations. Further, under those laws, Dell Products and Services shipped pursuant to this Agreement may not be sold, leased or otherwise transferred to restricted End-Users (including those on the U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security "Entity List" and other lists of denied parties) or to restricted countries (currently Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, and Syria). In addition, the shipped Dell Products and Services may not be sold, leased or otherwise transferred to, or utilized by an End-User engaged in activities related to weapons of mass destruction, including without limitation, activities related to the design, development, production or use of nuclear weapons, materials, or facilities, missiles or the support of missile projects, and chemical or biological weapons. In addition, you agree to indemnify, defend and hold Dell harmless from any loss, expense, penalty or claim against Dell due to your violation or alleged violation of any such applicable laws and regulations. If purchased Dell Products and Services are resold in violation of the foregoing restrictions, Dell shall not be obligated to provide any warranty service or technical support.
  15. Regulatory Compliance.  Dell has not tested the Products for use in specialized or high-risk applications or hazardous environments, including but not limited to any life-sustaining, chemical, or mission-critical use. DELL WILL NOT HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY DAMAGES ARISING FROM THE USE OF THE PRODUCTS IN ANY HIGH RISK ACTIVITY, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE OPERATION OF NUCLEAR FACILITIES, AIRCRAFT NAVIGATION OR COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS, AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL, MEDICAL SYSTEMS, LIFE SUPPORT, OR WEAPONS SYSTEMS.

  20. Purchases by Affiliates.  Unless otherwise agreed in writing, any Affiliate who submits an order to Dell shall have thereby agreed to abide by the terms of this Agreement.

You consent to Dell's use of this Agreement, as well as Product invoices, as financing statements for protecting this security interest and appoint Dell as your agent for service of process.

The process to complete such transfer is located at www.support.dell.com, which process may change from time to time.

  32. Your Resale of Dell Services. 
    1. Dell Terms & Conditions Applicable to End-Users.  You will only resell Services, including support services sold with Products, to End-Users who agree to be bound to Dell's Customer Master Services Agreement set forth at www.dell.com/servicecontracts ("CMSA"), including terms and conditions incorporated by reference therein. You will incorporate in an enforceable manner the CMSA into your own agreement with End-Users ("End-User Reseller Agreement"), or where required by Dell, enable the CMSA to be presented directly to End-Users prior to their use of Services. Where Dell requires the CMSA to be presented directly to End-Users, the specific implementation and presentation of such terms will be mutually agreed, but at a minimum shall include i) direct links to the CMSA in an enforceable manner; ii) consent/accept provisions; and iii) continued accessibility by End-Users to the CMSA. You will immediately notify Dell if you become aware of any End-User's violation of the CMSA and any actions you have taken or will take in connection with the violation. At Dell's request, you will promptly discontinue further sales and suspend or terminate End-User's access to the Services in response to a violation of the CMSA. You acknowledge and agree that Dell is a third party beneficiary of the agreement used to engage the End User with respect to the Services and that you shall require the End User to acknowledge and agree as to such in the End-User Reseller Agreement. For avoidance of doubt, to ensure compliance with this Section, you shall provide the following provision in your End-User Reseller Agreement (or such other agreement you have with the End User as it relates to the Services):

      "Services being provided to you pursuant to this agreement that are provided by Dell Marketing, L.P. or one of its worldwide affiliates ("Dell"), are being provided to you in accordance with the terms and conditions of Dell's Customer Master Services Agreement and any and all applicable Service Descriptions set forth at www.dell.com/servicecontracts. You hereby acknowledge and agree to be bound by the terms set forth therein and that Dell is a third party beneficiary to this agreement."

      To ensure compliance with the terms of this Agreement, Dell reserves the right to audit your agreements with the End Users. Such audit shall take place during normal business hours upon seven days prior written notice.

    2. Internal Use by Reseller.  If you use or otherwise are the recipient of Services, including support services sold with Products, in any manner in connection with your resale of Services, such as serving as a managed service provider or participating in the delivery or deployment of Services to your customers, such use shall be governed by the CMSA.
    3. Updates.  Dell reserves the right to update the CMSA at any time and from time-to-time, effective upon posting of an updated version to the Dell website available at www.dell.com/servicecontracts. You are responsible for regularly reviewing the CMSA. You should closely monitor the revision date on the CMSA and any change of its posted date shall be deemed notice to you that the CMSA has been changed or amended. Continued resale or use of Services after any such changes shall constitute your consent to such changes.
    4. Dell Enforcement.  Dell reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to suspend or terminate any End-User in response to a violation or suspected violation of the CMSA or terms and conditions incorporated by reference therein.
    5. Dell Access to End-User Usage Data.  "End-User Usage Data" means data or information collected or received by Dell relating to an End-User's use of the Service, including preferences, images, files and documents. Dell reserves the right to access, preserve, or disclose End-User Usage Data if required to do so by law or in a good faith belief that such access, preservation or disclosure is reasonably necessary to: (i) comply with legal process; (ii) enforce Dell's CMSA; (iii) respond to claims that any End-User Usage Data violates the rights of third parties; (iv) respond to your or your End Users' requests for technical support; or (v) protect the rights, property or personal safety of Dell, its users and the public.
