Failure to commence the claim within this time period shall constitute an absolute bar to any proceedings and a waiver of all such claims.
  14. Force Majeure. Neither party shall be liable or responsible to the other party, or be deemed to have defaulted under or breached this EULA for any failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any obligation (except with respect to the payment of fees), when and to the extent such failure or delay is caused by circumstances beyond such party’s reasonable control, including without limitation acts of God, flood, fire, terrorism, invasion, strikes (except with respect to a party’s own labor force), pandemic, epidemic, shortages, lockouts, riots, civil unrest, acts of war, earthquake, fire, explosions, natural disasters, refusal of license by any governmental agency, or power or connectivity interruptions.

The election of any one or more remedies by either party shall not constitute a waiver of the right to pursue any other available remedies. Licensee acknowledges that any actual or threatened breach of this EULA will constitute immediate, irreparable harm to Licensor for which monetary damages alone would be an inadequate remedy and that equitable or injunctive relief is an appropriate remedy in addition to any other remedies that may be available to Licensor.
