23. Miscellaneous

These Terms of SERVICE and the Privacy Policy constitute the entire agreement between You and SphereMail regarding You and Your Subscribers’ use of the Service and supersede any prior agreements between You and SphereMail relating to Your use of the Service. The failure of SphereMail to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Service shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision in that or any other instance. If any provision of these Terms of Service is determined to be unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable, such determination shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any of the remaining provisions. These Terms of Service may be accepted in writing or electronically.

No action or inaction by either Party shall be deemed to be a waiver of any term or condition of these Terms of Service unless expressly set forth in writing and signed by the Party to be charged. Any waiver of any term or condition shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach or subsequent waiver of the same term or condition, or a waiver of any other term or condition, of these Terms of Service.

  6. These Terms of Service are personal to You and are not assignable by You or them without SphereMail's prior written consent. SphereMail may assign these Terms of Service without Your consent to any other party so long as such party agrees to be bound by their terms.
  7. If all or part of any provision of these Terms of Service is wholly or partially invalid or unenforceable, the Parties or, in the event the Parties are unable to agree, the arbitrator, shall put in place of such whole or part provision an enforceable provision or provisions, that as nearly as possible reflects the terms of the unenforceable whole or part provision.
