16.    Captions. The captions and headings of this Agreement are for convenience only and shall in no way limit or otherwise affect any of the terms or provisions contained herein. This Agreement shall be construed without regard to any presumption or other rule requiring construction hereof against the party drafting this Agreement.

17.    Force Majeure. Neither party shall be liable for failure to perform as required by any provisions of this Agreement where such failure results from a cause beyond such party’s reasonable control such as acts of God, regulation or other acts of civil or military authority, required approval(s) of government bodies, fires, strikes, floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, riot, delays in transportation and inabilities to obtain necessary labor, materials, or manufacturing facilities.

If any provision in this Agreement shall be found or held to be invalid or unenforceable, then the meaning of that provision shall be construed, to the extent feasible, to render the provision enforceable. However, if no feasible interpretation would save such provision, it shall be severed from the remainder of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect unless the provisions that are invalid or unenforceable substantially impair the value of the entire Agreement to either party. In such event, the parties shall use their respective reasonable efforts to negotiate a substitute, valid, and enforceable provision which most nearly effects the parties’ intent in entering into this Agreement.

Acutus shall provide Biotectix with the evidence Acutus has regarding the condition of the Coating Materials to enable Biotectix to determine whether the Coating Materials were nonconforming.
