11.9 Severability.

11.10 Dispute Resolution; Governing Law. These Standard Terms, any Quotation or Purchase Order, and all disputes between the Parties arising out of or related thereto shall be governed by the laws of the State of Michigan except for its choice of law rules; the United Nations Convention on the International Sale of Goods shall not apply. Bosch and Company acknowledge that these Standard Terms, the Quotation, and/or Purchase Order evidence a transaction involving interstate commerce. Bosch and Company shall first endeavor to resolve through good faith negotiations any dispute arising under or related to these Standard Terms or with respect to the Products, the Software or the Services. If a dispute cannot be resolved through good faith negotiations within 30 days, either Party may request non-binding mediation by a mediator approved by both Parties. If mediation fails to resolve the dispute within thirty (30) days after the first mediation session, then, upon notice by either Party to the other, any and all disputes, controversies, differences, or claims arising out of or relating to these Standard Terms (including the formation, existence, validity, interpretation (including of this Arbitration clause), breach or termination thereof) or the Products, the Software or the Services shall be resolved exclusively through binding arbitration, except that either Party shall have the right, at its option, to seek injunctive relief, under seal to maintain confidentiality to the extent permitted by Law, (i) in either the Michigan Circuit Court for the County of Oakland or the United States Court for the Eastern District of Michigan, or (ii) pursuant to the American Arbitration Association Optional Rules for Emergency Measures of Protection. A request by a Party to a court of competent jurisdiction for such interim measures shall not be deemed incompatible with, or a waiver of, this agreement to arbitrate. The Parties agree that any ruling by the arbitration tribunal on interim measures shall be deemed to be a final award for purposes of enforcement. The arbitration proceedings shall be conducted in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA including application of the Optional Rules for Emergency Measures of Protection as amended from time to time, except as modified by this clause or by mutual agreement of the Parties, and shall be governed by the United States Federal Arbitration Act. Within 14 days after the commencement of arbitration, each party shall select one person to act as arbitrator and the two selected shall select a third arbitrator within 10 days of their appointment. If the arbitrators selected by the Parties are unable or fail to agree upon the third arbitrator, the third arbitrator shall be selected by the AAA. The arbitration shall be conducted in Detroit, Michigan, and the language of the arbitration shall be English. The arbitrators’ award shall be final and binding. The arbitrators shall issue a written opinion setting forth the basis for the arbitrators’ decision. The written opinion may be issued separately from the award by the arbitrators where necessary to preserve confidentiality. Each Party shall bear its own fees and costs, and each Party shall bear one half the cost of the arbitration hearing fees, and the cost of the arbitrator, unless the arbitrators find the claims to have been frivolous or harassing. Either Party may apply to have the arbitration award confirmed and a court judgment entered upon it. Venue for confirmation of or any challenge to the Arbitration Award shall be in either the Michigan Circuit Court for the County of Oakland or the United States Court for the Eastern District of Michigan and shall be done under seal to maintain confidentiality to the maximum extent permitted by law. The arbitrators shall have no authority to award punitive damages or any other damages excluded herein, to the maximum extent permitted by law. Except as may be required by Law, neither a Party, its counsel, nor an arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of both Parties.

11.11 Limitation Period. Except as provided in this Section 11.11, all claims must be made within the period specified by applicable Law. If the law allows the Parties to specify a shorter period for bringing claims, or the law does not provide a time at all, the claims must be made within eighteen (18) months after the cause of action accrues.

11.12 Export Control. Activities undertaken by either Party pursuant to these Standard Terms shall at all times be consistent with all import and export and national security laws or regulations of the United States and any applicable foreign agency or authority. Neither Party shall import, export or re-export, or authorize the export or re-export of any product, technology, or information that it obtains or learns hereunder, or any copy or direct product thereof, in violation of any of such laws or regulations without the required license or approvals required thereunder.

11.13 Government Contracts. If Products, the Software and/or Services are purchased under a government contract or sub-contract, Customer shall promptly notify Bosch of the provisions of any government procurement laws and regulations which are required to be included in the contract covering the Products, the Software and/or Services ordered. If compliance with such provisions increases Bosch's costs or liability, or encumbers any Bosch Intellectual Property Rights, Bosch shall be entitled, at its option, to adjust the prices accordingly, request separate payment of the additional costs, or terminate the applicable Purchase Order, in which case Customer shall be responsible for all costs incurred by Bosch prior to such termination.

11.14 Entire Agreement. These Standard Terms and all other agreements incorporating these Standard Terms constitute the entire agreement between Bosch and Company with respect to the matters contained herein/therein and supersede all prior or contemporaneous oral or written agreements, representations and/or communications.
