Together, these documents form the entire agreement and replace any previous agreement between you and us in relation to its subject matter. Except as expressly mentioned, this Agreement does not apply or give rights to anyone else (‘no third-party beneficiaries’). No purchase order, Customer terms, or other document that purports to modify or supplement this Agreement will vary the terms of this Agreement unless signed by Customer and JetBrains.

Such use is subject to the JetBrains EAP User Agreement (available at https://www.jetbrains.com/legal/docs/toolbox/user_eap.html), and by using the EAP Version Customer accepts these terms and conditions. If Customer ceases to use an EAP Version but continues to use Product, such use will continue to be governed by this Agreement. Your use of an EAP Version does not entitle you to any Subscription refund and does not relieve you of your payment obligations under this Agreement.

13.5. Opportunity to Review. Customer declares that it has had sufficient opportunity to review this Agreement, understand the content of all of its sections, negotiate its terms, and seek independent professional legal advice before entering into it. Consequently, any statutory “form contract” (“adhesion contract”) regulations shall not be applicable to this Agreement.
13.6. Severability. If a particular term of this Agreement is not enforceable, the unenforceability of that term will not affect any other terms of this Agreement.
13.7. Interpretation. Headings and titles are for convenience only and do not affect the interpretation of this Agreement. Terms such as “including” are not exhaustive.
13.8. No Waiver. Our failure to enforce or exercise any part of this Agreement is not a waiver of that section.
13.9. Notice. JetBrains may deliver any notice to Customer via electronic mail to an email address provided by Customer, or via Customer’s JetBrains Account, registered mail, personal delivery, or reputable express courier (such as DHL, FedEx, or UPS). Any such notice will be deemed to be effective (i) on the day the notice is sent to Customer via email, (ii) upon being uploaded to Customer’s JetBrains Account (irrespective of when Customer actually receives it), (iii) upon personal delivery, (iv) one (1) day after deposit with an express courier, or (v) five (5) days after deposit in the mail, whichever occurs first.

13.11. Dispute Resolution. Should the Parties to this Agreement fail to settle a Dispute amicably, the Dispute will be excluded from the jurisdiction of general courts and such Dispute will be finally decided by the Arbitration Court attached to the Czech Chamber of Commerce and the Agricultural Chamber of the Czech Republic by three arbitrators in accordance with the Rules of that Arbitration Court, and the language of the proceedings will be English; if you are a consumer, we both agree that any Dispute-related litigation may only be brought in, and shall be subject to the jurisdiction of, any competent court of the Czech Republic, unless provided otherwise by applicable consumer law. Consumer Disputes can also be settled out of court through the Czech Trade Inspection Authority (www.coi.cz) or the European Commission online platform for dispute resolution (ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr).
13.12. Data Privacy. By accepting this Agreement, Customer acknowledges that JetBrains will process personal data in accordance with JetBrains’ Privacy Notice (available at https://www.jetbrains.com/company/privacy.html).

13.13. Force Majeure. Neither Party shall be in breach of this Agreement, or otherwise liable to the other, by reason of any delay in performance, or non-performance, of any of its obligations under this Agreement (except payment obligations), arising directly from an act of God, fire, flood, natural disaster, act of terrorism, strike, lock-out, labor dispute, public health emergency, civil commotion, riot, or act of war.
