     No Waiver:    In the event that we fail to enforce any provision of these Terms, this shall not constitute a waiver of any future enforcement of that provision nor of any other provision.  Waiver of any part or sub-part of these Terms will not constitute a waiver of any other part or sub-part.
     Headings for Convenience Only:    Headings of parts and sub-parts under these Terms are for convenience and organization only and shall not affect the meaning of any provision of these Terms.
     No Agency, Partnership, or Joint Venture:  No agency, partnership, or joint venture has been created between the Parties as a result of these Terms.  No Party has any authority to bind the other to third parties.
