<p>6.1 This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of
Hungary excluding its conflicts of law provisions. Under certain circumstances, the
governing law in this section might be superseded by the United Nations Convention on
Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (“UN Convention”) and the parties intend
to avoid the application of the UN Convention to this Agreement and, thus, exclude the
application of the UN Convention in its entirety to this Agreement.</p>
<p>6.2 This Agreement sets out the entire agreement between You and Us for Your
Contributions to Us and overrides all other agreements or understandings.</p>
<p>6.3 If You or We assign the rights or obligations received through this Agreement to

to abide by all the rights and obligations in the Agreement.</p>
<p>6.4 The failure of either party to require performance by the other party of any
provision of this Agreement in one situation shall not affect the right of a party to
require such performance at any time in the future. A waiver of performance under a
provision in one situation shall not be considered a waiver of the performance of the
provision in the future or a waiver of the provision in its entirety.</p>
<p>6.5 If any provision of this Agreement is found void and unenforceable, such provision
will be replaced to the extent possible with a provision that comes closest to the
meaning of the original provision and which is enforceable. The terms and conditions
set forth in this Agreement shall apply notwithstanding any failure of essential
purpose of this Agreement or any limited remedy to the maximum extent possible under
law.</p>
