Jurisdictional Limitations.As some jurisdictions do not allow some of the exclusions, disclaimers or limitations as set forth herein, some of these exclusions, disclaimers or limitations may not apply to Licensee. In such event the liability will be limited to the maximum extent possible under applicable legislation.

Netsecure Consents.  No consent of or waiver by Netsecure will be effective unless in writing and signed by an authorized representative of Netsecure.

Waiver.  The failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, a right, power or remedy provided by the Agreement, or by law, shall not constitute a waiver of that right, power or remedy.  If Netsecure waives a breach of any provision of the Agreement this shall not operate as a waiver of a subsequent breach of that provision, or as a waiver of a breach of any other provision.

Severability.If any provision this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced by reason of any rule of law or public policy, then such provision shall be severed from this Agreement and shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision had never been contained in this Agreement.  All other provisions of this Agreement shall, nevertheless, remain in full force and effect and no provision shall be deemed dependent upon any other provision unless so expressed herein.

Entire Agreement.The provisions herein contained constitute the entire agreement between Licensee and Netsecure, and supersede all previous communications, representations, and agreements, whether oral, written or electronic, between Licensee and Netsecure, with respect to the subject matter hereof; there being no representation, warranties, terms, conditions, undertakings, or collateral agreements (express, implied, or statutory), between the parties other than as expressly set forth in this Agreement; PROVIDED THAT in the event of any inconsistency between this Agreement and the Terms of Use, this Agreement shall prevail; PROVIDED THAT the absence from such this Agreement of a term included in the Terms of Use shall not be deemed an inconsistency.

Enurement.The terms and provisions of this Agreement enure to the benefit of, and are binding upon, Licensee and Licensee’s heirs, executors, administrators, personal representatives, successors and permitted assigns, as the case may be, and upon Netsecure and its successors and assigns.  If Licensee breaches any provision of this Agreement, Licensee may no longer use the Materials.  In the event of any termination of this Agreement, this Agreement will nevertheless continue to apply and be binding upon Licensee in respect of Licensee’s prior use of the Materials.  All provisions of this Agreement that by their nature are intended to continue after the termination of this Agreement shall survive and continue after such termination.
