10. Entire Agreement; Miscellaneous. These Terms, including items incorporated into them and any (a) additional terms on the Site or otherwise provided by us for particular activities, and (b) disclosures provided by us and consents provided by you on the Site (collectively, "Entire Agreement"), constitute the entire agreement between us and neither party has relied on any representations made by the other that are not expressly set forth in the Entire Agreement. If any part of the Entire Agreement is found by an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, then that part will be deemed superseded by an enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original and honors the allocation of risks in these Terms and the remainder of the Terms will continue in effect. Our failure to act with respect to a breach does not waive our right to act as to subsequent or similar breaches, and time is of the essence of the Entire Agreement. There are no third party beneficiaries of any part of the Entire Agreement.
