Except as expressly set forth in the TOS, all warranties and representations with respect to the provision of the Services or otherwise, whether oral or in writing and whether express or implied, either by operation of law, are hereby expressly excluded to the maximum extent permitted by law. For the avoidance of doubt this exclusion should equally apply to any warranties or representations given by or on behalf of the Company prior to the Term Start Date. To the extent such disclaimer conflicts with applicable law, the scope and duration of any applicable representation or warranty shall be the minimum permitted under such law.

- Parties shall not disclose the Confidential information to any other person or entity not directly affiliated with them, without the written permission of the other Party, unless it is required by the law to do so.

- Subject to Section 12 (Publicity), neither Party shall advertise or publish any information about the other Party without the prior written approval of the other Party.

In the unlikely event that we have not been able to resolve a Dispute within sixty (60) days, we each agree to resolve the Dispute as detailed in Section 17.3.

19. WAIVER AND SEVERABILITY
Any failure on Our part to enforce any right or provision of these TOS or Privacy Policy will not be deemed a waiver of such right or provision.
The invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any provision of these TOS, in whole or in part, under the applicable laws of any jurisdiction, shall not affect the validity, legality or enforceability hereof under the applicable laws of any other jurisdiction. If for any reason whatsoever any provision of these TOS is or becomes, or is declared by court of competent jurisdiction to be, invalid, illegal or unenforceable, then the Parties will negotiate in good faith to agree on one or more provisions to be substituted therefore, which provisions shall, as nearly as practicable, leave the Parties in the same or nearly similar position to that which prevailed prior to such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability.
20. FORCE MAJEURE
Neither Party is liable for any failure of performance (other than for delay in the payment of any amount due and payable hereunder) to the extent such failure is due to any cause or causes beyond such Party’s reasonable control, including acts of God, fire, explosion, vandalism, cable cut, adverse weather conditions, governmental action, acts of terrorism, strikes, lockouts and similar labor difficulties, war, sabotage, outages of third-party connections, utilities, or telecommunications networks, including, without limitation, carrier-related problems or issues, IP Messaging Platform issues, internet-access issues, denial of service attacks, shortage or unavailability of supplies, and other mechanical, electronic or communications failures or degradation, pandemic or epidemic. Either Party’s invocation of this Section shall not relieve You of its obligation to pay for any Services actually provided or permit You to terminate any Services except as expressly provided herein.
