14.    Waivers

14.1 None of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been waived by any act or acquiescence on the part of either Party, unless such waiver is done in writing and signed by an officer of the waiving party.

15.    Void or Unenforceable Provisions

15.1 Should any provision of this Agreement be void or unenforceable, the other provisions will not be affected by this and remain in full force and effect. In this case Parties, within the limits of the applicable law, will draft a new provision that meets the objectives intended by the void or unenforceable provision, and include this as an appendix to this Agreement.

16.    Force Majeure

16.1 Neither Party shall be liable for non-performance or delay in performance of any obligation under this Agreement if such non-performance or delay is caused by an event of force majeure or other circumstance that was reasonably unforeseeable, and which prevents a Party from performing the Agreement. On the occurrence of such event, the affected Party shall immediately inform the other Party of the event, and the reasons why it is not able to perform any or all of its obligations under the Agreement. If within a period of forty five (45) days, the event continues and the Parties are unable to identify a workable alternative, either Party may terminate this Agreement.

17.    Governing law and jurisdiction

17.1 Given the link with the General License Terms entered into with the User, all disputes concerning the validity, interpretation, enforcement, performance and termination of the Agreement with the Viewer shall equally be governed by and construed in accordance with Belgian law. No effect shall be given to any other choice-of-law or conflict-of- laws rules or provisions that would cause the laws of any other jurisdiction to be applicable.
17.2 For the same reason, the competent courts in Antwerp (Belgium) will have exclusive jurisdiction to decide upon any matter in relation to the General License Terms and this Agreement that is linked to the General License Terms. Parties hereby waive any claim of forum non conveniens. By way of exception, in the event of a need for provisional measures, a Party may at its discretion turn to the court in the jurisdiction in which the provisional measures should be implemented.

Before instituting proceedings before the Court, Parties will, however, attempt to negotiate in good faith in order to reach an out-of-court settlement.

We reserve our right to amend our Processor Policy from time to time, if legislation or our internal practices so require.
When entrusting us with User Personal Data in the context of the CrewLounge AERO software suite or any module thereof (the "Tool"), and by using specific functionalities of the Tool, you determine the specific processing operations that you want the Tool to perform with the User Personal Data. You also determine the privacy settings. It is your initiative to use these functionalities and to use these in relation to specific User Personal Data, for purposes that are determined by you. Hence, you, the User, are the controller of the processing. If you provide us with Personal Data of other persons, such as your family, friends and/or colleagues, that will be using any part of the Tool, you must obtain prior consent from these persons. You must inform these persons of our Processor Policy before entrusting us with their Personal Data.
This Privacy Policy - Part II only treats processing operations under AVIOVISION's control, in especially for which AVIOVISION acts as processor. Please revert to our Privacy Policy - Part I (as Controller) above, in relation to processing operations we perform for our own purposes, in especially as controller.
