This Grant of License and Agreement is effective upon your acceptance as provided above and below.  You may terminate the Grant of License by destroying the Software including any and all copies that have been made.  This Grant of License will also terminate if you fail to comply with any terms hereof.  Upon termination of this Grant of License, in addition to DWDURKEE enforcing its respective legal rights, you must then promptly destroy the Software including any and all copies in your possession or control.  All remaining terms of this Agreement will survive any termination of the Grant of License.

Governing Law

  This Agreement  is governed by the federal laws of the United States of America and the laws of the State of Minnesota, without regard to conflict of law provisions. Any failure on the part of DWDURKEE to enforce any provision of this Agreement will not be considered a waiver of DWDURKEE’s right to enforce such provision.   You agree that any cause of action related to or arising out of your relationship with DWDURKEE must commence within six (6) months after the cause of action accrues.  Otherwise, such cause of action is permanently barred.

To the extent possible, if any provision of this Agreement is deemed unenforceable, it will be automatically reformed to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable. If the provision cannot be reformed, it will be severed from this Agreement without affecting the enforceability of the remaining terms and conditions. 

Severability

In the event that any section hereof is declared or found to be illegal by any court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction, such section will be null and void with respect to the jurisdiction of that court or tribunal and all the remaining provisions hereof will remain in full force and effect.
