  1. MISCELLANEOUS This Agreement completely and exclusively states the entire agreement of the parties regarding the subject matter herein, and it supersedes, and its terms govern, all prior proposals, agreements, or other communications between the parties, oral or written, regarding such subject matter. This Agreement may be modified by Grafana Labs from time to time, and any such modifications will be effective upon the “Posted Date” set forth at the top of the modified Agreement.
