    20. Severability


    If any provision of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement shaft remain in full force and effect. To the extent any express or implied restrictions are not permitted by applicable laws, these express or implied restrictions shall remain in force and effect to the maximum extent permitted by such applicable laws.


    21. Counterparts


    This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which will be considered an original, but all of which together will constitute the same instrument.


    22. Entire Agreement

    

    This Agreement, together with any applicable Order Forms and Statements of Work, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties regarding the Software Product and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements, understandings, and communication, whether written or oral; provided that any non-disclosure agreement or confidentiality agreement between you and Theia shall survive the execution of this Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the term and conditions of any such non-disclosure or confidentiality agreements and this Agreement, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall govern. This Agreement may be amended only by a written document signed by duly authorized representatives of both parties.
