These Terms shall be binding upon the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

 

21. Force Majeure. Any delay in the performance of any duties or obligations of either party (except the payment of money owed) will not be considered a breach of these Terms if such delay is caused by a labor dispute, shortage of materials, fire, earthquake, flood, or any other event beyond the control of such party, provided that such party uses reasonable efforts, under the circumstances, to notify the other party of the cause of such delay and to resume performance as soon as possible.

 

22. Independent Contractors. Your relationship to SMARTFACE is that of an independent contractor, and neither party is an agent or partner of the other. You will not have, and will not represent to any third party that you have, any authority to act on behalf of SMARTFACE.

 

22. Notices. You are responsible for updating your data to provide SMARTFACE with your most current e-mail address. In the event that the last e-mail address you have provided to SMARTFACE is not valid, or for any reason is not capable of delivering to you any notices required by these Terms, SMARTFACE’s dispatch of the e-mail containing such notice will nonetheless constitute effective notice of the changes described on the notice. Any notice provided to SMARTFACE pursuant to these Terms should be sent to [email protected]

 

23. Entire Agreement. These Terms are the final, complete and exclusive agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matters hereof and supersede and merge all prior discussions between the parties with respect to such subject matters. No modification of or amendment to these Terms, or any waiver of any rights under these Terms, will be effective unless in writing.
