(b)    If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, such provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and the remainder of these Terms will continue in full force and effect.  The failure of either party to exercise any right granted herein or to require any performance of any term of these Terms or the waiver by either party of any breach of these Terms will not prevent a subsequent exercise or enforcement of, or be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach of, the same or any other term of these Terms.  Nothing in these Terms will constitute or create a joint venture, partnership, or any other similar arrangement between the parties.  No party is authorized to act as agent for the other party hereunder except as expressly stated in these Terms.

(d)    You will not assign or transfer an Agreement or any rights or obligations under an Agreement, whether voluntary, by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of Stas.  Stas or any Stas successor may assign an Agreement or its right to payments under an Agreement.  Any attempted assignment or transfer of an Agreement made in violation of the terms hereof will be null and void.  Subject to the foregoing, an Agreement will be binding on and inure to the benefit of the parties' respective successors and permitted assigns.   
(e)    These Terms and performance by the parties hereunder will be governed by the laws of Delaware, U.S.A., without regard to provisions on the conflicts of laws.

No amendment to an Agreement will be effective unless in writing and signed by both parties. No person or entity shall be a third party beneficiary under an Agreement.
