19.6. A waiver of any right or remedy under these Conditions or at law is only effective if given in writing and shall not be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach or default. No failure or delay by a party to exercise any right or remedy provided under these Conditions or by law shall constitute a waiver of that or any other right or remedy, nor shall it prevent or restrict the further exercise of that or any other right or remedy. No single or partial exercise of such right or remedy shall prevent or restrict the further exercise of that or any other right or remedy.
19.7. Except as expressly provided herein, these Conditions do not and are not intended to confer any rights or remedies upon any person or entity except for Accu and the Buyer.
19.8. All matters arising out of or relating to these Conditions and/or the Contract shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Indiana without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than those of the State of Indiana. THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE, CONTROVERSIES OR CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF THESE CONDITIONS OR THE CONTRACT SHALL BE HEARD IN THE STATE OR FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN MARION COUNTY, INDIANA AND THE BUYER WAIVES ANY OBJECTION TO THE JURISDICTION OF THESE COURTS, WHETHER BASED ON CONVENIENCE OR OTHERWISE.
