(6) Miscellaneous

6.1 This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the
laws of Finland 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circumstances, the governing law in this section might be superseded by the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

must agree in writing to abide by all the rights and obligations in the
Agreement.

6.5 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.

6.6 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.
