The TOS constitute the entire agreement between you and the Company and

should endeavor to give effect to the parties' intentions as reflected in the
provision, and the other provisions of the TOS remain in full force and effect. You

be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to

contractual effect.
