If any term or provision of this Agreement is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction.

Any purported assignment or delegation in violation of this Section shall be null and void. No assignment or delegation shall relieve the Client of any of its obligations under this Agreement. DRC may assign any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations to any affiliate or to any person acquiring all or substantially all of DRC's assets without Client's consent.

This Agreement is binding on and inures to the benefit of the Parties to this Agreement and their respective permitted successors and permitted assigns.

This Agreement benefits solely the Parties to this Agreement and their respective permitted successors and assigns and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, confers on any other person any legal or equitable right, benefit, or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

The relationship between the Parties is that of independent contractors. The details of the method and manner for performance of the Services by DRC shall be under its own control, Client being interested only in the results thereof. DRC shall be solely responsible for supervising, controlling and directing the details and manner of the completion of the Services. Nothing in this Agreement shall give the Client the right to instruct, supervise, control, or direct the details and manner of the completion of the Services. The Services must meet the Client’s final approval and shall be subject to the Client’s general right of inspection throughout the performance of the Services and to secure satisfactory final completion. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as creating any agency, partnership, joint venture, employer-employee or other form of joint enterprise, employment or fiduciary relationship between the Parties, and neither party shall have authority to contract for or bind the other party in any manner whatsoever.

This Agreement and all related documents including all exhibits attached hereto, and all matters arising out of or relating to this Agreement, whether sounding in contract, tort, or statute are governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, without giving effect to the conflict of law’s provisions thereof to the extent such principles or rules would require or permit the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than those of Puerto Rico.

Each Party irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that it will not commence any action, litigation or proceeding of any kind whatsoever against the other Party in any way arising from or relating to this Agreement, including all exhibits, schedules, attachments and appendices attached to this Agreement, and all contemplated transactions, including contract, equity, tort, fraud and statutory claims, in any forum other than U.S. District Court for the District of Puerto Rico or, if such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, the courts of Puerto Rico sitting in San Juan, and any appellate court from any thereof. Each Party irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts and agrees to bring any such action, litigation or proceeding only in U.S. District Court for the District of Puerto Rico or, if such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, the courts of Puerto Rico sitting in San Juan. Each Party agrees that a final judgment in any such action, litigation, or proceeding is conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY THAT MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING EXHIBITS, SCHEDULES, ATTACHMENTS, AND APPENDICES ATTACHED TO THIS AGREEMENT, IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES AND, THEREFORE, EACH SUCH PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LEGAL ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING ANY EXHIBITS, SCHEDULES, ATTACHMENTS OR APPENDICES ATTACHED TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

The DRC shall not be liable or responsible to Client, nor be deemed to have defaulted or breached this Agreement, for any failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any term of this Agreement when and to the extent such failure or delay is caused by or results from acts or circumstances beyond the reasonable control of DRC including, without limitation, acts of God, flood, fire, earthquake, explosion, governmental actions, war, invasion or hostilities (whether war is declared or not), terrorist threats or acts, riot, or other civil unrest, national emergency, revolution, insurrection, epidemic, lock-outs, strikes or other labor disputes (whether or not relating to either party's workforce), or restraints or delays affecting carriers or inability or delay in obtaining supplies of adequate or suitable materials, materials or telecommunication breakdown or power outage, provided that, if the event in question continues for a continuous period in excess of 90 days, Client shall be entitled to give notice in writing to DRC to terminate this Agreement.

Both Parties agree that during the Term, and for two (2) years following the termination of this Agreement or the maximum time period permitted by applicable law, regardless of cause, that neither Party shall directly or indirectly solicit, or cause others to solicit, the employment of any employee of the other Party without the other Party’s expressed prior written consent, and that neither Party shall interfere with the other Party’s relationship with, or endeavor to entice away from the other Party, any person who, on the date of the termination of this Agreement and/or at any time during the one (1) year period prior to the termination of the Term, was a customer of the other Party or otherwise had a material business relationship with the other Party. Nothing herein shall preclude either Party from hiring employees or contractors of the other Party (or its subsidiaries) to the extent such employees or contractors respond, without any solicitation by or on behalf of the hiring party, to advertisements or job openings published or otherwise made generally available to the public by the hiring party.

Each Party shall deliver all notices, requests, consents, claims, demands, waivers, and other communications under this Agreement (each, a "Notice") in writing and addressed to the other Party at the addresses set forth on the Order Form (or to such other address that the receiving Party may designate from time to time in accordance with this section). Each Party shall deliver all Notices by personal delivery, nationally recognized overnight courier (with all fees prepaid), facsimile or email (with confirmation of transmission), or certified or registered mail (in each case, return receipt requested, postage prepaid). Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, a Notice is (a) upon receipt by the receiving party and (b) if the party giving the Notice has complied with the requirements of this Section.

This Agreement may be executed electronically and in counterparts, each of which is deemed an original, but all of which together are deemed to be one and the same agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 11, a signed copy of this Agreement delivered by facsimile, email, or other means of electronic transmission is deemed to have the same legal effect as delivery of an original signed copy of this Agreement.

Client shall be solely responsible to verify the rules and regulations for using the Service in accordance with their state and federal laws, including HIPAA and other privacy regulations. Client should make its own independent and informed decision for when and how the Services are utilized and hereby agrees to defend and indemnify DRC for any and all claims, fines, and damages arising out of Services rendered in accordance with this Agreement.
