If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such finding shall not affect the remainder of this Agreement which shall remain in full force and effect as if the provision(s) determined to be invalid or unenforceable had not been a part of this Agreement.  In the event of such finding of invalidity or unenforceability, the parties will substitute forthwith the invalid, or unenforceable provision(s) by such effective provision(s) as will most closely correspond with the original intention of the provision(s) so voided. No delay or failure of either party to enforce any right or provision under this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of such right or of or any other right under this Agreement. Licensee agrees that XMOS shall, on 5 business days’ notice, be entitled to carry out an audit of Licensee’s and any Users compliance with the terms of this Agreement and Licensee agrees to reasonably cooperate (and procure that all Users reasonably cooperate) with XMOS during such audits.
