XIII. Equitable Relief. Each User hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Content possesses a special, unique and extraordinary character that makes difficult the assessment of the monetary damages that would be sustained by 4D as a result of unauthorized use, and that unauthorized use may cause immediate and irreparable damage to 4D for which 4D would not have an adequate remedy at law. Therefore, User agrees that, in the event of such unauthorized use, in addition to such other legal and equitable rights and remedies as may be available to 4D, 4D shall be entitled to injunctive and other equitable relief without the necessity of proving damages or furnishing a bond or other security.
XIV. Survival. All representations, warranties, and indemnities shall survive the expiration or prior termination of this Agreement.
