  21. REMEDIES. You agree that your obligations herein are necessary and reasonable in order to protect MD EMR Systems and its business interests, and you expressly agrees that monetary damages alone may be inadequate to compensate MD EMR Systems for any breach by you of your covenants and agreements set forth herein.

For such purposes, the parties hereto agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal and state courts found within the State of Texas, and they do agree that venue shall be proper in the County of Travis in the State of Texas.

  22. ARBITRATION. Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, including, without limitation, the making, performance, or interpretation of this Agreement, shall be settled by binding arbitration in Travis County, Texas, except any action for injunctive relief that may be brought pursuant to the terms of this Section 18. Unless otherwise agreed, the arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the then current Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitration shall be held before three arbitrators, one arbitrator chosen by each of the parties and the third arbitrator chosen by the two arbitrators. Each of the arbitrators shall be chosen from a panel of attorneys knowledgeable in the field of business law in accordance with the then current Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. The parties agree that the arbitrators shall have no jurisdiction to consider evidence with respect to or render an award or judgment for punitive damages (or any other amount awarded for the purpose of imposing a penalty) or any other damages inconsistent with the terms and provisions of this Agreement. The parties agree that all facts and other information relating to any arbitration arising under this Agreement shall be kept confidential to the fullest extent permitted by law. Any ruling rendered by the arbitrators shall be final and non-appealable and shall be enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction.
  23. ATTORNEY FEES.

This Agreement is a binding contract and constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of the parties, whether oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof; is intended as the parties’ final expression and complete and exclusive statement of the terms hereof, superseding all prior or contemporaneous agreements, representations, communications, and understandings, whether written or oral; and may be amended or modified only by an instrument in writing by MD EMR Systems by posting an amended agreement to your MD EMR Systems Service Dashboard with prior notice of the effectiveness thereof.
  25. NON-WAIVER. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of any other provision, whether or not similar, nor shall any waiver constitute a continuing waiver. Failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall not operate as a waiver of such provision or any other provision or of the right to enforce such provision or any other provision.
  26. NO THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARIES. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer on any person, other than the parties to this Agreement, any right or remedy of any nature whatsoever.
  27. SEVERABILITY; BINDING EFFECT. If any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid or unenforceable in any respect for any reason, the validity and enforceability of any such provision in any other respect and of the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not be in any way impaired. This Agreement shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the parties and their heirs, personal representatives, successors, and, to the extent permitted by Section 6.
  28. FORCE MAJEURE. MD EMR Systems will not be liable for, or be considered to be in breach of or default under this Agreement on account of, any delay or failure to perform as required by this Agreement as a result of any cause or condition beyond MD EMR Systems’s reasonable control, so long as MD EMR Systems uses all commercially reasonable efforts to avoid or remove such causes of non-performance.
  29. RELATIONSHIP OF PARTIES. Both parties agree that they are independent entities. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to create a partnership, joint venture, or agency relationship between the parties.
