17.4 These Terms of Use, as may be amended by us from time to time, constitute our entire agreement with respect to your use of any of the Site and the Service. These Terms of Use supersede all prior agreements, understandings and representations between us with respect to your use of the Site and the Service. You cannot amend or alter the terms of these Terms of Use.
17.5 These Terms of Use, including the License, are personal to you, and neither can be assigned by you. You agree not to allow any other person to access and/or use any of the Site or the Service unless such other person agrees to be bound by all of the provisions of these Terms of Use. You further agree to assume all responsibility and liability arising from any third party access to, or use of, any of the Site and/or the Service (a) using, or under, any of Your Accounts, or any of your passwords; and (b) that you permit, knowing that such third party has not agreed to be bound by all of the provisions of these Terms of Use.
17.6 If any provision of these Terms of Use is finally found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void, invalid, unenforceable or otherwise contrary to law or equity, the remaining provisions of these Terms of Use that can be given effect without such void or unenforceable term or provision, shall be given full effect and binding on the parties.
17.7 Our failure to enforce strict performance of any provision of these Terms of Use, or to penalize any violation of these Terms of Use, or to penalize you for any further violations of any provision of these Terms of Use, does not constitute a waiver and does not limit our right to future enforcement or remedies.
17.8 All of the provisions of these Terms of Use, which by their nature, survive the termination of these Terms of Use, shall so survive, including without limitation, the provisions of Paragraphs 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11.
