The parties specifically disclaim applicability of (i) the United Nations Convention on the Sale of Goods and (ii) any Incoterms.
10.2. Compliance with Laws. The Parties agree to comply with all applicable local, state, national and foreign laws, rules and regulations (including applicable export laws and regulations) while performing under this Agreement and accessing and/or using the Services under this Agreement.

The Service and its related software are subject to the United States Export Administration Regulations. No software or Service may be downloaded, used or exported (i) into or to a national or resident of any country to which the United States has embargoed goods; or (ii) any person or entity on the United States Treasury Department’s list of Specially Designated Nationals or the U.S. Commerce Department’s Denied Persons List or Entity List, or otherwise designated as prohibited from receiving U.S. exports.

10.10. Waiver. Customer agrees not to bring or participate in any class action lawsuit against Abinko or any of its employees or affiliates. Customer agrees not to bring a claim under this Agreement more than two years after the expiration of this Agreement.
