Any law, usage, or custom to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall have the right at all times to enforce each and everyone one of the terms, provisions, covenants, agreements, undertakings, and conditions of the Contract in strict accordance with the terms thereof, even if the Company has refrained from or delayed enforcing any of the terms, provisions, covenants, agreements, undertakings, or conditions thereof in the past.

The Client represents and warrants to the Company that the Client has not made or received any promises or representations to or from the Company, other than the promises, representations, and consideration set forth herein, and did not and have not relied upon any representation or statement, whether oral or written, made by the Company or the Company’s owners, officers, employees, agents, representatives, or attorneys when entering into this Agreement, with respect to the subject matter, basis, terms, or effect of this Agreement, other than representations and statements explicitly set forth in this Agreement.

Nothing in this section is intended to, or will operate to release, reduce, or otherwise limit the liability of the Client for any past, present, or future debt, obligation, guaranty, or duty owed by the Client to the Company.
6) Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of any other term or provision hereof.
7) Interpretation. The headings of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and are not to be considered in construction of the provisions hereof. This Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with the fair meaning of its words and the Client certifies that the Client either has been or has had the opportunity to be represented by its own legal counsel, and that the Client is familiar with the provisions of this Agreement, which provisions have been fully negotiated, and agrees and warrants that the provisions hereof are not to be construed either for or against any Party as the drafting Party.
8) Covenants Independent. Each covenant on the part of the Client set forth in Section 4 of this Agreement shall be construed as a covenant independent of any other covenant or provision of this Agreement, the Contract, or any other agreement the Client and the Company may have, and the existence of any claim, cause of action, or defense by the Client against the Company, whether predicated upon another covenant or provision of the Contract, this Agreement, or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Company of any covenant, obligation, promise, or agreement set forth in Section 4 above against the Client.
