Survival
The articles in these Terms and Conditions that are either expressly or implicitly (given their nature) intended to have effect after expiration or termination of the Agreement will continue to have effect notwithstanding expiration or termination thereof, including but not limited to articles 4, 10, 11, 12, 13 and 15 of these Terms and Conditions shall survive termination or expiration of the Agreement.
No waiver
- A waiver of any right under the Agreement is only effective if it is in writing and it applies only to the Party to whom the waiver is addressed and the circumstances for which it is given.
- If there has been an express written waiver of a right following a specific failure by a Party, this waiver cannot be invoked by the other Party in favor of a new failure, similar to the prior one, or in favor of another kind of failure.
- Any failure or delay by a Party in exercising any right under the Agreement, any single or partial exercise of any right under the Agreement or any partial reaction or absence of reaction by a Party in the event of violation by the other Party on one or more provisions of the Agreement, shall not operate or be interpreted as a waiver (either express or implied, in whole or in part) of that Party’s right under the Agreement or under said provision(s), nor shall it preclude any further exercise of any such rights.
- Any waiver by SEENSPIRE asserting some or all of the present provisions must be regarded as an occasional tolerance and will in no event lead to an acquired right.

- Customer’s continued use of the Content/Service(s) following the effective date of a change shall constitute Customer’s acceptance of such change.
Severability
- Whenever possible, the provisions of these Terms and Conditions shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be valid and enforceable under applicable law.
- If one or more provisions in these Terms and Conditions are found to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, in whole or in part, the remainder of that provision and of these Terms and Conditions shall remain in full force and effect as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.
Moreover, in such an event, the Parties shall amend the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision(s) or any part thereof and/or agree on a new provision in such a way as to reflect insofar as possible the purpose of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision(s).
Assignment
The Customer shall not, without the SEENSPIRE’s prior written consent, assign, transfer, charge, sublicense or deal in any other manner with all or any of its rights or obligations under the Agreement.
