If any provision is found unenforceable, the rest remains in effect.
Assignment
You may not assign your rights under these Terms without our written consent. We may assign to a successor in a merger or acquisition.
Force Majeure
Neither party is liable for delays due to events beyond reasonable control (natural disasters, war, pandemic, internet outages, etc.).
No Waiver
Failure to enforce any right doesn't waive that right for the future.
