The waiver by either party of any default or breach of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of any other or subsequent default or breach.

9.3 Assignment.  Customer may not assign, sell, transfer, delegate, or otherwise dispose of, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, this Agreement or any rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Company which may be withheld at Company’s discretion.

9.8 Amendment. Company may, from time to time, amend these Terms by posting the amended Terms on Company’s website, and such amended Terms will apply to Company Products and Services ordered pursuant to Order Forms executed after the posting date (i.e., the “Last Updated” date).

If the Company desires to amend these Terms with respect to the ongoing receipt of Company Products and Services, Company may do so upon written notice to Customer; provided, however, that if any such amendment materially and adversely modifies Customer’s rights and obligations with respect to the Company Products or Services, Customer may provide written notice to Company that Customer desires to terminate its relationship with Company, and Company will provide the Customer with a pro-rata refund of any pre-paid Fees attributable to the period of time for which Company Products and/or Services are not used by Customer due to the termination. Except as expressly permitted in this Section 9.8, as between Company and Customer, this Agreement may be amended only by (i) a written agreement signed by authorized representatives of each of Company and Customer or (ii) a waiver in accordance with Section 9.3.
