Company shall not be liable to you for a failure or delay in its performance of any of its obligations under these Terms to the extent that such failure or delay is caused by events such as fire, riot, flood, labor disputes, natural disaster, regulatory action, internet or telecommunications failures, terrorist acts, or other causes beyond Company’s reasonable control. Except as expressly stated herein, the Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and Company with respect to the Offerings, and the Terms supersede and replace all prior or contemporaneous communications, proposals, understandings or agreements, whether electronic, oral or written, between you and Company with respect to the Offerings or the subject matter of these Terms. Any waiver of any provision of the Terms will be effective only if in writing and signed by you and Company. Our failure to enforce our rights and remedies available to us with respect your breach of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such breach nor of any prior, concurrent, or subsequent breach of the same or any other provision of these Terms.
