You submit to the personal jurisdiction of those courts and waive all objections to that jurisdiction and venue for those disputes. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (1980) is specifically excluded from and will not apply to this Agreement. You agree that Cyderes will be entitled to injunctive relief, without the necessity of proving irreparable harm or posting a bond, from any court with jurisdiction (not only Missouri courts) if you breach this Agreement and that injunctive relief is in addition to all remedies available to Cyderes at law, in equity, and under this Agreement.

19. NONWAIVER. Any failure by Cyderes to insist upon or enforce strict performance by you of any of the provisions of this EULA or to exercise any of Cyderes’ rights or remedies under this EULA or otherwise by law will not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment to any extent of Cyderes’ right to assert or rely upon any such provision, right, or remedy in that or any other instance; rather the same will be and remain in full force and effect.
