Seller acknowledges that the information Purchaser makes available to Seller constitutes and satisfies any duty to respond to a Request for an Accounting or Request regarding a Statement of Account that is referenced in § 9-210 of the UCC.
17.2.4The Parties acknowledge that it shall be presumed commercially reasonable and Purchaser shall have no duty to undertake to collect any Account or Purchased Account including those in which Purchaser receives information from an Account Debtor that a Dispute exists. Furthermore, in the event Purchaser undertakes to collect from or enforce an obligation of an Account Debtor or other person obligated on Collateral and ascertains that the possibility of collection is outweighed by the likely costs and expenses that will be incurred, Purchaser may at any such time cease any further collection efforts and such action shall be considered commercially reasonable. Before Seller may, under any circumstances, seek to hold Purchaser responsible for any action (or inaction) Seller believes or alleges is or was not commercially reasonable, Seller shall be required to first notify Purchaser, in writing, of all reasons why Seller believes Purchaser has not acted in a commercially reasonable manner and advise Purchaser of the action that Seller believes Purchaser should take.

Each statement, report, or accounting rendered or issued by Purchaser to Seller and all electronically stored information made available or accessible to Seller through a website shall be deemed conclusively accurate and binding on Seller unless within fifteen (15) days after the date of issuance or, in the case of electronically stored information, the first of each month, Seller notifies Purchaser to the contrary by registered or certified mail, setting forth with specificity the reasons why Seller believes such statement, report, or accounting or electronically stored information is inaccurate, as well as what Seller believes to be correct.
19.Amendment and Waiver. Only a writing signed by all Parties hereto may amend this Agreement. No failure or delay in exercising any right hereunder shall impair any such right that Purchaser may have, nor shall any waiver by Purchaser hereunder be deemed a waiver of any default or breach subsequently occurring. Purchaser’s rights and remedies herein are cumulative and not exclusive of each other or of any rights or remedies that Purchaser would otherwise have.
20.Termination; Effective Date.
20.1The Term of this Agreement will commence on the Closing Date and, unless otherwise terminated in accordance with the terms hereof, shall continue for the Term (a “Termination Date”). Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement or expiration or termination of the Term, the liabilities and obligations of Seller hereunder and the security interests of Purchaser hereunder shall continue in full force and effect until Complete Termination.
20.2But for Seller committing an Event of Default, Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by giving Seller not less than thirty-day’s (30) prior written notice of termination, whereupon this Agreement shall terminate on the earlier date of the date of termination or the end of the then current Term.

20.3Upon any Termination Date:
20.3.1All Obligations owing to Purchaser shall become immediately due and payable, and all Purchased Accounts shall be deemed charged back to Seller, without notice or demand.

20.3.3Regardless of any Termination Date occurring, whether or not due to an Event of Default, Seller shall take no action that would constitute a violation of this Agreement.
21.No Lien Termination without Release. In recognition of the Purchaser’s right to have its attorneys’ fees and other expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement secured by the Collateral, notwithstanding payment in full of all Obligations by Seller, Purchaser shall not be required to record any terminations or satisfactions of any of Purchaser’s liens on the Collateral unless and until Complete Termination has occurred. Seller understands that this provision constitutes a waiver of its rights under §9-513 of the UCC.
22.Conflict. Unless otherwise expressly stated in any other agreement between Purchaser and Seller, if a conflict exists between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of such other agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall control.
23.Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, then such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, and the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

27.Entire Agreement. No promises of any kind have been made by Purchaser or any third party to induce Seller to execute this Agreement. No course of dealing, course of performance or trade usage, and no parole evidence of any nature, shall be used to supplement or modify any terms of this Agreement. Purchase and Seller each acknowledge that there is no provision or subject matter in respect to this Agreement that either believes was negotiated or intended to be included herein, but has been omitted and each agree that by executing this Agreement Purchaser and Seller each waive any right to seek reformation in any form subsequent to the execution of this Agreement.

33.7Seller acknowledges that neither the relationship created by this Agreement nor any subsequent services that Purchaser may offer to Seller shall entitle Seller to assert any form of tort claim, whether in the form of negligence or otherwise, against Purchaser and whether supported by statute, common law, or otherwise. Seller and Purchaser acknowledge that unless the terms of this Agreement create an express duty, the Parties do not intend for any duty to be implied or deemed included within this Agreement except that to the extent that an implied covenant of good faith may exist and in respect thereto, both Purchaser and Seller agree that in respect thereto, such duty, for the purpose of this Agreement, shall be limited so that neither party shall take any action to prevent the other party from performing under this Agreement.
