    10.6. Force Majeure. In no event will either Party be liable for any delay or failure to perform its obligations hereunder where such delay or failure is caused by act of God, disease, pandemic, fire, terrorist act, natural calamity, war, act or order of government, political sanctions, labor dispute or other events beyond their reasonable control to prevent or mitigate (each, a “Force Majeure Event”).

    10.7. Relationship of Parties. Xyte is an independent contractor, and nothing herein will be construed to the contrary. Neither Party will assume or create any obligations or responsibilities express or implied, on behalf of or in the name of the other Party or bind the other Party in any manner or thing whatsoever without such Party’s prior written consent. Xyte will use Xyte’s own tools and instruments in providing the Service. Except for those resources that Partner expressly agrees to provide in an Order Form, Xyte will provide all personnel, software and other resources as may be necessary to perform the Service in accordance with this Agreement. Xyte will be solely responsible for the direction and control of Xyte’s employees, representatives and subcontractors, including decisions regarding hiring, firing, supervision, assignment and the setting of wages and working conditions. Partner will neither have nor exercise disciplinary control or authority over Xyte or Xyte’s employees, representatives or subcontractors. No agent, employee, representative or subcontractor of Xyte will be or be deemed to be the employee, agent, representative or subcontractor of the Partner. None of the employer-paid benefits provided by Partner to its own employees, including but not limited to workers’ compensation insurance and unemployment insurance, are available from Partner to Xyte or to Xyte’s employees, agents, representatives or subcontractors.

    10.8. Headings. The captions and headings used in this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and will not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

During the Term, Xyte may use the trademarks, service marks, trade names, service names, logos or other brand designations of Partner in any promotional material or other public announcement or disclosure to identify Partner as a partner of Xyte or user of the Service, on Xyte’s website, marketing materials, presentations or otherwise. Upon Partner’s written request Xyte will remove such reference.

    10.10. Modifications. Xyte reserves the right, at its discretion, to change the terms of this Agreement at any time. Such a change will be effective 10 days following Xyte sending a notice thereof to Partner or posting the revised Agreement on Xyte’s website or platform, and Partner’s continued use of the Service thereafter means that Partner has accepted those changes.

    10.11. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including all addenda, Schedules, Exhibits, Order Forms and attachments attached hereto, and other documents referred to in this Agreement and any documents referenced herein and therein, are hereby incorporated in and made a part of this Agreement and contain the complete understanding and agreement of the Parties and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements or understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter herein. In the event of any inconsistencies between this Agreement and the terms of any duly executed Order Form signed by Xyte, the terms of the Agreement shall prevail except where the Order Form specifically indicates otherwise, in which case the terms of the Order Form will prevail for that Order Form only.
