8.4 Claims of Copyright Infringement.

If User believes in good faith that someone has wrongly filed a notice of copyright infringement against User, the DMCA permits User to send Autodesk a counter-notice. Notices and counter-notices must meet the then-current statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA. See https://www.copyright.gov/ for details. Notices and counter-notices should be sent to:

Accordingly, the parties agree that if any provisions are deemed not enforceable, they will be deemed modified to the extent necessary to make them enforceable.
8.8 Costs. Each party will be responsible for covering their respective costs and expenses in performing their duties under this Agreement, unless expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement.
8.9 Headings. The Section headings used in this Agreement are for convenience only and will not be given any substantive effect.
8.10 Waiver. The failure of Autodesk to enforce at any time any provisions of this Agreement, or any rights in respect thereto, or to exercise any election herein provided, will not be considered as a waiver of such provisions, rights, or elections with respect to subsequent events, or in any way to affect the validity and the enforceability of this Agreement.
