Vendor may not assign any of its rights or delegate any of its responsibilities under these Terms (by operation of law or otherwise) without the written consent of WWT and any purported attempt to do so will be null and void. If any provision of these Terms is held to be unenforceable, these Terms shall be construed without such provision. Neither party's failure to exercise any of its rights under these Terms will constitute or be deemed a waiver or forfeiture of those rights. These Terms constitute the complete agreement between the parties and may not be altered or modified except in writing, duly executed by an authorized representative of WWT. WWT objects to any inconsistent, additional or different terms in any prior or subsequent invoice, acknowledgment, confirmation or other document. Trade custom, trade usage and past performance are superseded by these Terms and may not be used to interpret these Terms. If any provision of the Terms becomes void or unenforceable by law, the remaining provisions are still valid and enforceable.
