      A provision of this Agreement may be waived only by a written instrument executed by the party entitled to the benefit of such provision. The failure of Empowerise to exercise or enforce any right or provision of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

The Agreement shall not be modified except in writing, signed by both parties, or by a change to the Agreement made by Empowerise as set forth in Section 4 above.

      If any provision of this Agreement shall be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from this Agreement and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.

      The Agreement and any rights and licenses granted hereunder may not be transferred or assigned by you but may be assigned by Empowerise without restriction. Any assignment attempted to be made in violation of this Agreement shall be void.
      The heading references herein are for convenience purposes only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement, and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.
