No waiver by OPENKRFT of any term or condition set forth in this License Agreement shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure of OPENKRFT to assert a right or provision under this License Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
If any provision of this License Agreement is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent such that the remaining provisions of the License Agreement, including the Terms of Use, will continue in full force and effect. - Modifications
