failure or delay by either Party in exercising any right under this
Agreement will constitute a waiver of that right. In the event that
any clause, sub-clause or other provision contained in this Agreement
shall be determined by any competent authority to be invalid, unlawful
or unenforceable to any extent, such clause, sub-clause or other
provision shall to that extent be severed from the remaining clauses

Agreement constitutes the full and entire understanding and agreement
between the Parties with regard to the subject matter hereof, and
supersedes any prior communications, representations, understandings
