Any purported assignment, delegation or transfer in violation of this Agreement is null and void. This Agreement is for the sole benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer on any other Person any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.
    • . This Agreement may only be amended, modified or supplemented by an agreement in writing signed by each Party hereto.

Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, no failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege arising from this Agreement shall operate or be construed as a waiver thereof.

    • . If any term or provision of this Agreement is determined to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a competent authority in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction, and that term or provision will be limited if possible and only thereafter severed, if necessary, to the extent required to render the Agreement valid and enforceable.
  • .

Section headings, and cross-document section references within and among the Agreement, are provided for convenience only and are not to be used to definitively construe or interpret this Agreement.For the purposes of this Agreement: (a) the words “include,” “includes” and “including” are deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”; (b) the word “or” is not exclusive; (c) the words “herein,” “hereof,” “hereby,” “hereto,” and “hereunder” refer to this Agreement as a whole; and (d) words denoting the singular have a comparable meaning when used in the plural, and vice-versa.
    • . This Agreement, including and together with all schedules, exhibits, attachments and appendices attached hereto, and all other agreements, terms and conditions and/or policies that are incorporated by reference herein, constitutes the sole and entire agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject matter contained herein and therein, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, arrangements, representations, conditions and warranties, both written and oral, regarding such subject matter. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that GlobalVision and Reseller have previously entered into a Reseller Agreement, this Agreement shall override such previous agreement, and the Parties agree that such previous agreement will be immediately terminated upon the last date of signature of this Agreement. This Agreement shall prevail over any additional, conflicting, or inconsistent terms and conditions which may appear on any purchase order or other document issued by Reseller or Reseller Clients to GlobalVision. The following order of precedence shall be applied in the event of conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of the components of this Agreement: (i) the Agreement; (ii) any schedule, exhibit, attachment and appendices; and (iii) the other agreements, terms and conditions and/or policies incorporated by reference.
    • . This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which is deemed an original, but all of which together are deemed to be one and the same agreement. A signed copy of this Agreement delivered by facsimile, email or other means of electronic transmission is deemed to have the same legal effect as delivery of an original signed copy of this Agreement.
