Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
No Waiver. Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms is not a waiver of that right or provision. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by us to be effective.
