The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not govern this agreement. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its reasonable legal costs including attorney fees relating to that aspect of its claim or defense on which it prevails, and any opposing costs awards shall be offset. Notwithstanding the foregoing, RunPixie shall have the right to commence and prosecute any legal or equitable action or proceeding before any court of competent jurisdiction to obtain injunctive or other relief against you in the event that, in the opinion of RunPixie, such action is necessary or desirable to protect its intellectual property rights. The parties agree that, notwithstanding any otherwise applicable statute(s) of limitation, any arbitration proceeding shall be commenced within two years of the acts, events or occurrences giving rise to the claim.

Severability.

8.9 RELEASE OF COMMISSIONS TO SELLERS

For the granting the license to uploaded content, Sellers receive discounts for photo packages downloaded from RunPixie, as specified on the website. Said discount shall be considered as full payment for the Content Licenses sold by the Seller.

If the Seller has not requested release of accumulated Commissions within twenty-four (24) months from the date of sale of the Content License(s), or if the Seller within the same period has failed to provide valid Payment Data enabling Run Pixie, sp. z o. o. to release accumulated Commissions, such Commissions will be forfeited by the Seller and will accrue to Run Pixie, sp. z o. o.
