21. ENTIRE AGREEMENT AND AMENDMENT

21.1. The Agreement contains the entire agreement and understanding of the Parties, and, with the exception of any currently existing and valid Legacy Agreement, supersedes all prior agreements and understandings between the Parties, whether oral or written, regarding the subject matter hereof. The Parties acknowledge that the terms of any other agreement that the Marketing Partner or its Affiliate may have in place with an Affiliate of Epsilon shall not apply to the Agreement.

21.2. Epsilon reserves the right, at its discretion, to modify, add, or remove any of the terms of this GSA, at any time by posting a revised GSA on its website for at least 14 days before it becomes effective. Marketing Partner’s and/or its Affiliate’s continued use of the Services after the effective date of such change shall be deemed acceptance by the Marketing Partner of the revised GSA.

22. BINDING EFFECT

The Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Each Party agrees that it has had the opportunity to review the Agreement and neither Party shall be considered the drafter.

In the event of a dispute (a) Epsilon and Marketing Partner irrevocably submit and consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts set out in the relevant Service Order or IO, as applicable, and hereby agree that such courts shall be the exclusive proper forum for determination of any dispute arising in connection with the Agreement and (b) the Agreement will be governed by the laws of the jurisdiction set out in the relevant Service Order or IO, as applicable. In the event, that the relevant Service Order or IO does not specify governing law and jurisdiction, the Agreement and any dispute, controversy, proceeding or claim of whatsoever nature (including non-contractual disputes and claims) arising out of or in connection with it or its subject matter or its formation shall be governed by and construed in accordance with English Law and each party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of English courts with venue in London, England in relation to any dispute, controversy, proceeding or claim (including non-contractual disputes or claims), arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or its subject matter or formation.
