The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provisions, which shall remain in full force and effect.

18. Waiver

No waiver of any provision of these Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such provision or any other provision. Our failure to assert any right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
