11.6 If any provision of this Licence or the Software thereof is declared void, illegal, or unenforceable, the remainder of this Licence will be valid and enforceable to the extent permitted by applicable law. In such event, the parties agree to use their best efforts to replace the invalid or unenforceable provision by a provision that, to the extent permitted by the applicable law, achieves the purposes intended under the invalid or unenforceable provision.

Neither the Licensor nor the Licensee shall have any liability to the other in respect of such termination as a result of an Event of Force Majeure.
11.9 This Licence (i) constitutes the entire agreement and understanding between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, oral and written, made with respect to the subject matter hereof, and (ii) cannot be altered except by agreement in writing executed by an authorised representative of each party. No purchase order and/or standard terms of purchase provided by the Licensee shall supersede this Licence. Each of the parties acknowledges that in entering into this Licence on the terms set out herein, it has not relied on, or been induced to enter into this Licence by any representation, warranty, undertaking, promise or assurance made or given by any other party or any other person, whether or not in writing, at any time prior to the execution of this Licence, other than those expressly set out in this Licence.
