12.2. No Exclusivity. The Okta Companies do not have any exclusivity obligations under this Agreement.
12.3. Assignment. Neither party may assign their rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party and any attempt to do so without such written consent shall be void.

12.6. Governing Law and Venue. The law that will apply in any dispute or lawsuit arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or its subject matter or formation (including noncontractual disputes or lawsuits) is the laws of the United States. The courts located in San Francisco, California, will have jurisdiction over any such dispute or lawsuit. The parties irrevocably waive all rights they may have to a trial by jury in any judicial proceeding involving any claim relating to or arising under this Agreement.
12.7. Miscellaneous. If any of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable by competent judicial authority, the validity of the remainder of the Agreement shall be unaffected. No failure or delay by either party in exercising any right, power, or remedy under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of any such right, power, or remedy. The parties acknowledge that monetary damages may not be a sufficient remedy for breach of this Agreement and that each party may, without waiving any other rights or remedies, seek injunctive or equitable relief as may be deemed proper by a court of competent jurisdiction, without obligation to post any bond (unless otherwise required by order of the competent court). All remedies, whether under this Agreement, provided by law, or otherwise, shall be cumulative and not alternative. Vendor’s relationship with Buyer will be that of an independent contractor and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as creating or implying a joint venture, partnership, agency, or employment relationship between the parties or their respective employees and contractors, and neither party will have the right to bind the other or incur any obligation on the other’s behalf without the other’s prior written consent. No person who is not a party to this Agreement will have any right to enforce it. The rights of the parties to rescind or vary this Agreement are not subject to the consent of any other person. Each party will be solely responsible for the supervision of its employees and for the fulfillment of all obligations incumbent upon an employer with regard to its employees, including the withholding and payment of income taxes, statutory benefits, and social security taxes, and the provision of health, disability and other benefits or workers’ compensation insurance. This Agreement may only be modified by mutual agreement of authorized representatives of the parties in writing. No modification of or amendment to this Agreement, nor any waiver of any rights under this Agreement, will be effective unless in writing and signed by the authorized representative of the party to be charged. This Agreement (including its exhibits) constitutes the entire agreement between the parties relating to this subject matter and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous oral or written agreements concerning such subject matter, provided that if Vendor has signed a written agreement with Buyer for any Deliverables, that written agreement (and not these terms and conditions) will apply. All POs will be subject to and hereby incorporate the terms of these Purchase Order Terms and Conditions, and no terms or conditions contained in any purchase order or other document issued by Vendor shall form part of any contract between Vendor and any Okta Company. Any “click-wrap” agreement, terms of use, electronic acceptance, order confirmation, or other terms and conditions that a user may be required to acknowledge or accept or that is otherwise displayed or accessible to a user before downloading, receiving, using or otherwise accessing any Deliverables are of no force and effect as between the Okta Companies and Vendor. Any words following the terms ‘including’, ‘include’, ‘in particular’, ‘for example’, ‘i.e.’, ‘other’ and ‘otherwise’ or any similar expression shall be construed as illustrative and shall not limit the sense of the words preceding those terms. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.
