12.4 Assignment
You shall not assign these Terms or any right, interest or benefit hereunder without the prior written consent of Mapdwell, which may be withheld for any reason or no reason at all. Mapdwell may: (i) assign these Terms to an affiliate; (ii) assign these Terms or any right, interest or benefit hereunder to a third party in connection with a collection proceeding against you; and (iii) assign these Terms in their entirety to its successor in interest pursuant to a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of that party’s business or assets to which these Terms relate. These Terms shall benefit Mapdwell and its successors and assignees.
12.5 Governing Law; Venue
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Massachusetts, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of law. Any action arising out of or relating to these Terms must be filed in the state of Massachusetts, USA, and you hereby consent and submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of these courts for the purposes of litigating any such action.
12.6 Audit
You must keep records relating to the products you and any affiliate participating under a license agreement run. We have the right to audit and verify compliance with any license agreement, at our expense, during the term of the license agreement and any enrollment and for a period of one year thereafter. To do so, we may (or may appoint a nationally recognized certified public accountant or independent auditor to) audit your use of the Services and Mapdwell software ensure it is in compliance with the Terms. Verification will take place upon not fewer than thirty (30) days’ notice, during normal business hours and in a manner that does not interfere unreasonably with your operations. As an alternative, we may require you to accurately complete a self-audit questionnaire relating to the products you and any affiliates participating under a license agreement use. If verification or self-audit reveals unlicensed use of products, you must pay for the full amount of any underpayment revealed by the verification or self-audit. If we undertake such verification and do not find material unlicensed use of products, we will not undertake another verification of the same entity for at least one (1) year. We and our auditors will use the information obtained in compliance verification only to enforce our rights and to determine whether you are in compliance with the terms of the applicable license agreement.”
