The failure to require performance of any provision will not affect IIM’s right to require performance at any time thereafter, nor will a waiver of any breach or default of this Agreement or any provision of this Agreement constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach or default or a waiver of the provision itself.

In the event that any part of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the unenforceable part will be given effect to the greatest extent possible and the remaining parts will remain in full force and effect.

Neither IIM nor you will be in violation of this Agreement if a failure to perform any obligation is due to an event beyond such party’s control, such as significant failure of a part of the power grid, significant failure of the Internet, natural disaster, war, riot, insurrection, epidemic, strikes or other organized labor action, terrorism, or other similar events.

Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, any provision that by its nature or express terms should survive will survive such termination or expiration.
