  16. Notices.  All official or legal notices to be given by You to ART under this Agreement will be made in writing and will either be via: (1) hand-delivery; (2) Federal Express (or a comparable overnight mail service); (3) facsimile transmission (provided that an original copy of a transmission will be delivered by some other means permitted by this Section 15); or (4) certified mail, return receipt requested, to the other party at its respective addresses or telephone/fax number set forth above.  All official or legal notices to be given by ART to You may be made via any of the methods stated in the previous sentence or additionally via posting to the AnzuMedical or via email to the current email address on file for You.  All notices will be effective upon receipt (or when delivery is refused) or 3 business days after being deposited in the mail as required above, whichever occurs sooner.  Either party may change its address for notice by giving notice of the new address to the other party. 
  17. Governing Law.  The interpretation of the rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement, including, to the extent applicable, any negotiations, arbitrations or other proceedings hereunder, will be governed in all respects exclusively by the laws of the State of Arizona, U.S.A. as such laws apply to contracts between Arizona residents performed entirely within Arizona.  Each party agrees that it will only bring any action or proceeding arising from or relating to this Agreement exclusively in a federal court in the District of Arizona, U.S.A. or in state court in Phoenix, Arizona U.S.A., and You irrevocably submit to the personal jurisdiction and venue of any such court in any such action or proceeding or in any action or proceeding brought in such courts by ART.

  19. General.  This Agreement is the complete and exclusive understanding and agreement regarding the AnzuMedical and all Services, and supersedes any oral or written proposal, agreement or other communication between ART and You, regarding Your access to and use of the AnzuMedical and the Services.  Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, this Agreement may be amended or modified only by a writing signed by both parties.  All waivers under this Agreement must be in writing.  Any waiver or failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement on one occasion will not be deemed a waiver of any other provision or of such provision on any other occasion.  If any provision of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable, that provision will be removed to the extent necessary to comply with the law, replaced by a provision that most closely approximates the original intent and economic effect of the original to the extent consistent with the law, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force.  The prevailing party in any lawsuit, arbitration or proceeding arising from or related to this Agreement will be entitled to receive its costs, expert witness fees and reasonable attorneys’ fees, including costs and fees on appeal.  Neither this Agreement nor any rights or obligations of You hereunder may be assigned or transferred by You (in whole or in part and including by sale, merger or operation of law) without the prior written approval of ART.  Any assignment in violation of the foregoing will be null and void.  ART may freely assign this Agreement or any of its rights hereunder.  The parties hereto are independent parties, not agents, employees or employers of the other or joint venturers, and neither acquires hereunder any right or ability to bind or enter into any obligation on behalf of the other.  This Agreement is the complete and exclusive statement of the agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, and this Agreement supersedes any proposal or prior agreement, oral or written, and any other communications between the parties in relation to the subject matter of this Agreement.
