If any of the clauses or terms hereof are found, by a competent court, to be invalid, unenforceable, or illegal, the remaining clauses will be deemed severable from the unenforceable clause(s) and will continue in full force and effect, unless such invalidity, unenforceability, or illegality goes to the root of these Terms.

Neither party will be bound by any direct or indirect term, representation or promise that is not recorded in these Terms.

Any permission or approval given by one party (the "grantor") to the other (the "grantee") will not be seen as a waiver or abandonment of any of the grantor’s rights, who shall not thereby be excluded from exercising any rights against the grantee which may have arisen in the past or which might arise in the future.

Nothing in these Terms will form a partnership, joint venture, agency, or employment between the parties, and neither party will be allowed to bind, or contract in the name of the other, or to create a liability against the other in any way for any purpose.

Acceptance of these Terms by you shall be deemed to have taken place once you make use of the Website. Every instance of use of the Website shall be subject to the above terms and conditions.
