2. Entire Agreement. Any quotation or price information made available by Monotype is without obligation and subject to change without notice unless an offer has been designated as binding. Oral understandings between you and Monotype will require written confirmation by Monotype and a contract between you and Monotype will only become valid when it has been accepted in writing by Monotype (e.g., confirmation of order, which will be final) or when the order is performed (e.g., delivery, download or connection by you of or to the software). As permitted by law, Monotype reserves the right to correct errors in its offers, invoices and communications such as spelling or arithmetical errors. You and Monotype each owe a duty to each other co-operate in order to give full effect to your agreement.
3. Assignment. Unless specifically set forth in a written agreement between you and Monotype, your obligations to Monotype may not be sublicensed or assigned to any third party (with a change in control of you constituting an assignment).

7. Warranty. Unless specifically set forth in a written agreement between you and Monotype or as required by law, the goods and services purchased by you are provided “as is” without any representation or warranty of any kind, including without limitation, any warranty of non-infringement or fitness for a particular purpose.
8. Partial Nullity. In the event that any provision of these Terms and Conditions is unenforceable or invalid, such unenforceability or invalidity shall not render these Terms and Conditions unenforceable or invalid as a whole, and, in such event, such provision shall be changed and interpreted so as to best accomplish the objectives of such unenforceable or invalid provision within the limits of applicable law or court decisions.
9. Export. You agree that the software licensed to you by Monotype will not be shipped, transferred or exported into any country or used in any manner prohibited by the United States Export Administration or any applicable export laws, restrictions or regulations.

11. Terminated or Expired Contracts. If an existing license agreement between you and Monotype expires at the conclusion of its then-current term without being renewed by either party or is terminated by either party for any reason, and you request to reinstate such agreement, Monotype may, in its sole discretion, agree to allow such reinstatement.
