In the event Leap is the prevailing party in any Dispute, subject to any exceptions in this paragraph, you shall pay to Leap all reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred by Leap in connection with any Dispute.

‍This Agreement contains the full understanding between the parties and supersedes all prior representations or agreements, whether oral or written, with respect to such matters.  If any provision of the Agreement is held invalid by any law or regulation of any government, or by any court, the parties agree that such provision will be replaced with a new provision that accomplishes the original business purpose, and the other provisions of the Agreement will remain in full force and effect. Neither the failure nor any delay by Leap in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement will operate as a waiver of such right, power or privilege, and no single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege will preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.
