The Terms in Sections 11, 12, 13, and 14 relating to disclaimer of warranties, limitations of liability, indemnification, and intellectual property shall survive termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the arbitration requirement above, you agree to the jurisdiction of the State and Federal Court in the State of North Carolina, and Lulu Junior has the right to seek additional remedies, including but not limited to injunctive relief, to enforce the aforementioned clauses or any other material provision of this Agreement.
Except for delay in payments due, if anything happens that is beyond the reasonable control of either party, then delays will be expected and performance may be excused. Lulu Junior and its subcontractors or suppliers shall not be liable for any delay caused by the occurrence of such an event beyond their reasonable control.
This Agreement does not designate either party as the agent, employee, legal representative, partner, or joint venturer of the other party for any purpose.
References to businesses in connection with Lulu Junior’s operations refers to organizations with which Lulu Junior has business relationships and does not imply formal legal partnerships.

If any term of this Agreement is found to be invalid or unenforceable, then such term will be deemed amended and interpreted, if possible, in a way that renders it enforceable. If such an interpretation is not possible, then the term will be deemed removed from this Agreement and the rest of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect.
No waiver by either party of any breach or default hereunder shall be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or subsequent breach or default, nor shall any delay or omission on the part of either party to exercise or avail itself of any right or remedy that it has or may have hereunder operate as a waiver of any right or remedy.
