9.1.             SN Systems may provide support services from time to time in respect of the Software but reserves the express right in its absolute discretion to interrupt, withdraw, suspend, modify and terminate the provision of such services in such manner at such time as it sees fit and offer the services for such support fee it considers appropriate. 

10.              General

10.1.         This License shall be governed by the laws of England and Wales and subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Courts of England and Wales.  If any provision of this License is void or unenforceable under English Law, such a provision is, to the extent of such invalidity, deemed to be omitted and the remainder of this License unaffected.  The jurisdiction agreement in this clause is made for the benefit of SN Systems only, and SN Systems reserves the right to apply for injunctive relief in the court of any jurisdiction to protect any intellectual property right of, or claim by SN Systems.
