9. Intellectual Property and Modifications

18. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

This Agreement is governed by the laws of Ireland without regard to conflict of law principles.

• Disputes €25,000+ EUR: Shall be finally settled by arbitration administered by the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) under its Rules of Arbitration. One arbitrator, Dublin location, English language.

Nothing herein prevents Licensor from seeking injunctive or equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect its Intellectual Property rights or prevent irreparable harm.
