monetary damages are not an adequate remedy. Such remedies are not exclusive and are in addition to all other remedies that may be available.

Entire Agreement; Modification

This Agreement constitutes the complete and exclusive agreement between you and HarperDB with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous oral or written communications, proposals, representations, understandings, or agreements not specifically incorporated herein. This Agreement may not be amended except in a writing duly signed by you and an authorized representative of HarperDB.

which case such provision will be disregarded). HarperDB may modify this Agreement at any time.
