Entire Agreement; Severability; No Waiver
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy incorporated within them by reference and any policies that we post on the Site, constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals, whether oral or written, between the parties with respect to such subject matter. If any provision of these terms is deemed unlawful, void or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in place and the invalidated provision will be deemed replaced by an enforceable provision that most closely reflects the intent of the parties.
