General

Our failure to enforce or to exercise at any time or for any period of time any term of or any right pursuant to these Terms does not constitute, and shall not be construed as, a waiver of such term or right and shall in no way affect our right later to enforce or to exercise it. If any provision of these Terms is found to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under any applicable law, such term shall, insofar as it is severable from the remaining terms, be deemed omitted from these Terms and shall in no way affect the legality, validity, or enforceability of the remaining provisions. These Terms constitute the entire agreement between the parties regarding its subject matter and supersede and replace any and all prior agreements, understandings, or arrangements between the parties, whether oral or in writing, with respect to the same. No representation, undertaking, or promise shall be taken to have been given or be implied from anything said or written in negotiations between the parties prior to these Terms except as expressly stated in these Terms. Neither party shall have any remedy in respect of any untrue statement made by the other upon which that party relied in entering into these Terms (unless such untrue statement was made fraudulently). Without prejudice to the foregoing, the only remedy available to a party in respect of a breach of any representation which is incorporated into these Terms shall be for breach of contract. Provisions of these Terms which either are expressed to survive its expiry or termination or from their nature or context, it is contemplated that they are to survive such termination, shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such expiry or termination. The relationship of the parties is that of independent parties dealing at arm’s length. Except as otherwise stated in these Terms, nothing in these Terms shall constitute the parties as partners, joint venturers, or co-owners, or constitute either party as the agent, employee, or representative of the other, or empower either party to act for, bind, or otherwise create or assume any obligation on behalf of the other, and neither party shall hold itself out as having authority to do the same.
