28. GENERAL PROVISIONS
The TOU (together with the Additional Terms) constitutes the entire agreement between you and Strike concerning your access to and use of the Service. It supersedes all prior and contemporaneous oral or written negotiations and agreements between you and Strike with respect to such subject matter. In the event of any conflict between or among the TOU and any Additional Terms, the TOU will take precedence and govern. The TOU may not be amended by you except in a writing executed by you and an authorized representative of Strike. For the purposes of the TOU, the words “such as,” “include,” “includes” and “including” will be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” You may not assign or delegate any right or obligation under the TOU without the prior written consent of Strike. Strike may assign or delegate any of its rights or obligations under the TOU without your consent. The failure of Strike to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the TOU will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of the TOU is held to be invalid or unenforceable under Applicable Law, then such provision will be construed, limited, modified or, if necessary, severed to the extent necessary to eliminate its invalidity or unenforceability, without in any way affecting the remaining parts of the TOU. Except with respect to your obligation to pay fees when due, any prevention of or delay in performance by Strike hereunder due to any act of god, fire, casualty, flood, war, strike, lock out, failure of public utilities, injunction or any act, exercise, assertion or requirement of any governmental entity, epidemic, pandemic, public health crisis, destruction of production facilities, insurrection or any other cause beyond Strike’s reasonable control will excuse the performance of its obligations for a period equal to the duration of any such prevention or delay.
