You represent and warrant that no person or entity has made any promise, representation, or warranty, whether express or implied, not contained herein to induce you to enter into this Agreement. Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of this Agreement shall not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. Suppose any provisions of this Agreement are found to be unenforceable or invalid. In that case, only that provision shall be modified to reflect the parties’ intention or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that the remaining provisions of the Agreement shall otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable. To the extent allowed by law, the English version of this Agreement is binding, and the translations, if any, are provided for convenience only. This Agreement, and any rights or obligations hereunder, are not assignable, transferable, or sublicensable by you except with Sugar Pear Designs’ prior written consent but may be assigned or transferred by us without restriction. Any attempted assignment by you shall violate these Terms and be void. The articles titles in this Agreement are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect; as used in this Agreement, the word “including” means “including but not limited to”.
