19.3 These Terms together with the Commercial Terms, Our Privacy Policy and the details of your Subscription Plan constitute the entire agreement, and supersede any and all prior agreements between You and Us with regard to the matters set out in these Terms. They shall prevail over the terms or conditions in any purchase order or other order documentation You or any Entity You represent provides (all such terms or conditions being null and void), and, except as expressly stated herein, there are no other agreements, representations, warranties, or commitments which may be relied upon by either party with respect to the subject matters set out in these Terms. In the event of a conflict between any agreement and these Terms, these Terms shall prevail.

Your continued use of the Service(s) following the effective date of any such amendment may be relied upon by Us as Your consent to any such amendment.

19.6 Our failure to enforce at any time any provision of these Terms does not constitute a waiver of that provision or of any other provision of the Terms.

20. SEVERABILITY; NO WAIVER

20.1 If any provision in these Terms is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, such provision shall be modified by the court and interpreted so as to best accomplish the original provision to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and the remaining provisions of these Terms shall remain in effect. Our non-exercise of any right under these Terms does not constitute a waiver of that right or provision of the Terms.
