10.11 Consent to Jurisdiction.
10.11.1 Each of the parties irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its properties and assets, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in the State of California, in the County of San Francisco or the United States of America for the Northern District of California and any appellate court therefrom (collectively, the “California Courts”), in any proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment relating thereto, and each of the parties irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such proceeding shall be heard and determined in the California Courts.

10.12.1 The parties to this Agreement expressly waive and forgo any right to recover punitive, exemplary or similar damages in any arbitration, lawsuit, litigation or proceeding arising out of or resulting from any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.
10.12.2 Each party acknowledges and agrees that any controversy which may arise under this Agreement is likely to involve complicated and difficult issues, and therefore, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, it hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any litigation directly or indirectly arising out of or relating to this agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising on the part of any Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.
10.14 No Limitation on Competitive Activities. Nothing in this Agreement shall, or shall be construed to, limit in any way Remedent’s right and ability to manufacture, market, distribute, license and sell any other product, other than the GlamSmile Veneer Products or services in the Territory, regardless of whether such other products or services compete with the GlamSmile Veneer Products.
10.15 No Partnership or Joint Venture. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as (a) giving any Party any rights as a partner in or owner of the business of the other Parties, (b) entitling a Party to control in any manner the conduct of the other Parties’ business, or (c) making any Party a joint venturer, joint employer, principal, agent, or employee of the other Parties. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement or in any of the agreement or instruments contemplated hereby, no Party shall have, nor shall it represent itself as having, the power to make any contracts or commitments in the name of or binding upon any of the other Parties.
10.16 Specific Performance. Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that, in the event of any breach of this Agreement, the non-breaching Party would be irreparably and immediately harmed and could not be made whole by monetary damages. It is accordingly agreed that the Parties (a) shall be entitled, in addition to any other remedy to which they may be entitled at law or in equity, to compel specific performance of this Agreement; and (b) shall waive, in any action for specific performance, the defense of the adequacy of a remedy at law.
