    • Non-Waiver; Breach. Any waiver of any term and condition hereof must be in writing and signed by the Party against whom it is sought to be asserted.  A Party’s neglect or failure in any case or circumstance to require performance of another Party’s obligations or to enforce its rights in the event of a breach by the other Party will not affect such Party’s right to enforce such rights and obligations in any other case or circumstance.  A waiver of any individual term or condition will not be construed as a waiver of any other term or condition nor, unless so provided in such written waiver, of the term or condition thereby waived in the event of a future or continuing breach by the other Party, except in the particular circumstances in or for which such waiver was provided.
    • Severability. In the event any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason and in any respect, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall in no event affect, prejudice, or disturb the validity of the remainder of these Terms, which shall be and remain in full force and effect.
    • Equitable Remedies. The Parties acknowledge that a breach of these Terms could cause irreparable harm for which damages would be an inadequate remedy. If any such breach occurs or is threatened, we will be entitled to seek an injunction, a restraining order, or any other equitable remedy without the posting of bond or other security and without providing proof of actual damages.
