No provision or part of this Agreement or remedy hereunder may be waived except by a writing signed by a duly authorized representative of the Party making the waiver. Failure or delay by either Party to enforce any provision of this Agreement will not be deemed a waiver of future enforcement of that or any other provision.

Except as provided herein, neither Party will have the authority to obligate or bind the other Party in any manner, and nothing herein contained will give rise or is intended to give rise to any rights of any kind to any third parties.

This Agreement, together with all Order Forms, contains the entire agreement and understanding between the Parties and supersedes and replaces all prior or contemporaneous understandings or agreements, written or oral, regarding such subject matter, and prevails over any conflicting terms or conditions. No term of any Order Form will be deemed to amend the terms of this Agreement unless an Order Form references a specific provision in this Agreement. Any Order Form amending a term of this Agreement will amend such term only with respect to the Solutions performed pursuant to such Order Form. Client acknowledges and agrees that individual Users may be subject to, and bound by, supplemental or additional terms (“Other Terms”) governing a User’s personal use of the Solutions (e.g., end user license agreements), and such Other Terms will prevail in the event of a conflict with respect to such User’s use of the applicable Solution(s).
