General Provisions

The TOU (together with the Additional Terms) constitutes the entire agreement between you and Lightspeed concerning your access to and use of the Lightspeed Offering. It supersedes all prior and contemporaneous oral or written negotiations and agreements between you and Lightspeed with respect to such subject matter. In the event of any conflict between or among the TOU and any Additional Terms to which the TOU refers, the terms and conditions of the TOU shall take precedence and govern. The TOU may not be amended by you except in a writing executed by you and an authorized representative of Lightspeed. For the purposes of the TOU, the words “such as,” “include,” “includes” and “including” shall 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 Lightspeed. The failure of Lightspeed to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the TOU shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of this TOU is held to be invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, then such provision shall 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. Any prevention of or delay in performance by Lightspeed hereunder due to labor disputes, acts of god, governmental restrictions, enemy or hostile governmental action, fire or other casualty or other causes beyond its reasonable control shall excuse the performance of its obligations for a period equal to the duration of any such prevention or delay.
