14.3. Delivery. Unless otherwise expressly stipulated by the relevant provisions of generally binding legal regulations or these GTC, the Contracting Parties shall deliver documents to each other in person, by e-mail, post, or in another appropriate manner (e.g. by courier), and these shall be deemed to have been delivered at the moment when they entered the sphere of disposition of the other Contracting Party. For the avoidance of doubt, a document enters the sphere of disposition of the other Contracting Party even if: (a) it has not been received by the other Contracting Party because the Contracting Party has not been found at the address of service, in which case the document shall be deemed to have been served on the second day after the document was served at the usual place of service; (b) the document could not be served by post to the addressee's addressee, in which case the document is deemed to have been served on the day on which the document was returned to the sender as undeliverable (e.g. with the remark "addressee unknown"); (c) service is not successful due to any other obstacle not caused by the delivering Contracting Party, in which case the document shall be deemed to have been served on the day on which the delivering Contracting Party became aware of the obstacle after attempting service; (d) the Contracting Party to whom the document is served refuses to accept the document, and the consequences otherwise related to service occur on the date on which acceptance of the document is refused; (e) it is an electronic service and the document is deemed to have been served on the second day after it was sent to the e-mail address of the Contracting Party. In the event of a change of address or any other contact information, the respective Contracting Party is obliged to notify the other Contracting Party of this change in writing and without undue delay.
14.4. Signing electronically. The Contracting Parties expressly agree that any documents relating to the formation, amendment and termination of the Agreement may be drawn up in the form of an electronic document using an electronic signature pursuant to Regulation (EU) No 910/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council on electronic identification and trust services for electronic transactions in the internal market and repealing Directive 1999/93/EC (hereinafter referred to as "eIDAS""). For the avoidance of any doubt, any technological solution and tool enabling such an electronic signature can be used to sign an electronic document (e.g. Acrobat Sign, DocuSign, QSign, etc.).).
14.5. Extension of the limitation period. In accordance with Section 401 of the Commercial Code, the Partner declares that the Company extends the limitation period in relation to all rights and claims that the Company has against the Partner for a period of ten (10) years from the time it first began to run.
14.6. Applicable law. The mutual relations of the Contracting Parties are governed by the law of the Slovak Republic, whereby the Contracting Parties hereby exclude the application of any conflict of laws rules that would determine as the applicable law a law other than the law of the Slovak Republic.
14.7. Jurisdiction of the courts. All disputes arising between the Contracting Parties shall be finally settled by the competent court of the Slovak Republic.
14.8. Severability. In the event that any provision of the GTC becomes invalid and/or ineffective, such invalidity and/or ineffectiveness shall have no effect on the validity and/or effectiveness of the remaining provisions, unless otherwise provided by applicable law. The Contracting Parties agree to replace the invalid and/or ineffective provisions of the GTC with a new provision that corresponds most closely to the original provision in its meaning and nature.
14.9. Reservation of waiver. If either Contracting Party overlooks or forgives any default, breach, delay or failure to perform any obligation under the Agreement, then such conduct shall not constitute a waiver of such obligation with respect to their ongoing or subsequent default, breach or non-performance, and no such waiver shall be deemed effective unless expressed in writing on a case-by-case basis.
