1.3   Purchase and Use of Credits. As an alternative to using ClickHouse Cloud on a “pay as you go” basis as set forth in Section 1.2 above, you may purchase Credits in advance. Except as set forth in Section 1.5 below, orders for Credits may be placed by Customer through (i) the execution of Order Forms with ClickHouse or (ii) issuance by Customer of a Qualifying PO, which will be deemed to constitute, for the purposes of this Agreement, the execution by Customer of the Order Form referenced in the applicable Qualifying PO. Customer’s use of ClickHouse Cloud will be charged against available Credits that have been purchased by Customer.

1.4   Affiliates. The parties agree that their respective Affiliates may also conduct business under this Agreement by entering into Order Forms, which in some cases may be subject to such additional and/or alternative terms and conditions to those contained in this Agreement as may be mutually agreed in the Order Form or as may be set forth in a participation agreement, executed by the applicable parties which incorporates the terms and conditions of this Agreement, as amended by the terms of the Order Form or the participation agreement, as applicable.

Accordingly, Customer agrees that it is purchasing ClickHouse Cloud based solely upon features and functions that are currently available as of the Effective Date, and not in expectation of any future feature or function.

12.9   Governing Law, Jurisdiction and Venue. This Agreement will be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of laws principles, and all suits hereunder will be brought solely in Federal Court for the District of Delaware, or if that court lacks subject matter jurisdiction, in any Delaware State Court located in New Castle County, Delaware. This Agreement shall not be governed by the 1980 UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. The parties hereby irrevocably waive any and all claims and defenses either might otherwise have in any action or proceeding in any of the applicable courts set forth in (a) or (b) above, based upon any alleged lack of personal jurisdiction, improper venue, forum non conveniens, or any similar claim or defense. A breach or threatened breach, by either party of Section 7 may cause irreparable harm for which damages at law may not provide adequate relief, and therefore the non-breaching party shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief without being required to post a bond.

12.10   Non-waiver. Any failure of either party to insist upon or enforce performance by the other party of any of the provisions of this Agreement or to exercise any rights or remedies under this Agreement will not be interpreted or construed as a waiver or relinquishment of such party's right to assert or rely upon such provision, right or remedy in that or any other instance.

12.11   Notices. Any notice or other communication under this Agreement given by either party to the other will be deemed to be properly given if given in writing and delivered in person or by e-mail to the e-mail address provided at the time of opening your Account, or if mailed, properly addressed and stamped with the required postage, to the intended recipient at its address specified on an applicable Order Form. Notices to ClickHouse may also be sent to [email protected]. Either party may from time to time change its address for notices under this Section by giving the other party notice of the change in accordance with this Section.

12.12   Relationship of the Parties. The relationship of the parties hereunder shall be that of independent contractors, and nothing herein shall be deemed or construed to create any employment, agency or fiduciary relationship between the parties. Each party shall be solely responsible for the supervision, direction, control and payment of its personnel, including, without limitation, for taxes, deductions and withholdings, compensation and benefits, and nothing herein will be deemed to result in either party having an employer-employee relationship with the personnel of the other party.

12.13   Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining portions will remain in full force and effect and such provision will be enforced to the maximum extent possible so as to give effect the intent of the parties and will be reformed to the extent necessary to make such provision valid and enforceable.

12.14   Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement and the Support Services Policy and the DPA where applicable, each of which is hereby incorporated herein by this reference, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties concerning the subject matter hereof, and it supersedes, and its terms govern, all prior proposals, agreements, or other communications between the parties, oral or written, regarding such subject matter. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, and all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Execution of a scanned copy will have the same force and effect as execution of an original, and a scanned signature will be deemed an original and valid signature. In the event of any conflict between the terms and conditions of any of the foregoing documents, the conflict shall be resolved based on the following order of precedence: (i) an applicable DPA, (ii) an applicable Order Form (but only for the transaction thereunder), (iii) this Agreement, and (iv) the Support Services Policy. By entering into this Agreement, whether prior to or following receipt of any Customer purchase order or similar document, the parties are hereby expressly showing their intention not to be contractually bound by the contents of any such purchase order or similar document, which are hereby deemed rejected and extraneous to this Agreement, and ClickHouse's performance of this Agreement shall not amount to: (i) an acceptance by conduct of any terms set out or referred to in the purchase order or similar document; (ii) an amendment of this Agreement, nor (iii) an agreement to amend this Agreement. This Agreement shall not be modified except by a subsequently dated, written amendment that expressly amends this Agreement and which is signed on behalf of ClickHouse and Customer by their duly authorized representatives. The parties agree that the terms and conditions of this Agreement are a result of mutual negotiations. Therefore, the rule of construction that any ambiguity shall apply against the drafter is not applicable and will not apply to this Agreement. Any ambiguity shall be reasonably construed as to its fair meaning and not strictly for or against one party regardless of who authored the ambiguous language.
