Unless otherwise expressly stated herein, this Agreement (including each Order Form), along with any HubSpot exhibit or addendum hereto, including any Order Form, constitutes the entire agreement between Customer and HubSpot with respect to the Subscription Service and Consulting Services and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous communications, proposals and agreements, whether electronic, oral or written, between Customer and HubSpot with respect to the subject of this Agreement. To the extent of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions in the body of this Agreement and any exhibit or addendum hereto or any Order Form, the terms of such exhibit, addendum or Order Form shall prevail. HubSpot objects to and rejects any additional or different terms proposed by Customer, including those contained in Customer's purchase order, acceptance or website. HubSpot's failure to object elsewhere to any provisions of any subsequent document, communication, or act of Customer shall not be deemed a waiver of any of the terms hereof. The party's obligations hereunder are neither contingent on the delivery of any future functionality or features of the Subscription Service nor dependent on any oral or written public comments made by HubSpot regarding future functionality or features of the Subscription Service.
j. Assignment. Customer will not assign or transfer this Agreement, including any assignment or transfer by reason of merger, reorganization, sale of all or substantially all of its assets, change of control or operation of law, without HubSpot's prior written consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld.

If Customer is located outside of the territory of the United States, the parties agree that the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall not govern this Agreement or the rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement.
