The preprinted terms of a purchase order or any other similar document will not apply to or modify the Agreement. All waivers by West under the Agreement must be in writing or later acknowledged by West in writing. The failure of West to enforce any right or provision of the Agreement will not be deemed to be a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of the Agreement shall be found to be unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed removed to the extent necessary to comply with applicable Law, replaced by a provision that closely approximates the original intent and economic effect of the original to the extent consistent with applicable Law, and the remaining provision will remain in full force and effect.

Neither party is an agent of the other and neither party is authorized to make any representation, contract, or commitment on behalf of the other party. No term or provision of the Agreement will be construed to confer any third-party beneficiary rights on any non-party. Each and every right and remedy hereunder is cumulative with each and every other right and remedy herein or in any other agreement between the parties or under applicable law. The words “include,” “includes” and “including” means “include,” “includes” or “including,” in each case, “without limitation.”
