15. General Provisions
- Severability
Should any clause of these Terms of Service, or its application to any individual or scenario, be deemed invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable to any extent within any jurisdiction, such clause shall be excluded from this agreement within the relevant jurisdiction (but, as allowed by law, will remain in effect elsewhere). This will not impact the validity of the remaining clauses. Both parties commit to replacing the invalid or unenforceable clause with a valid one that closely mirrors the original intention and financial implications of the removed clause. - No Waiver
Any failure or delay by Bayrich UG in exercising a right or remedy provided by these Terms of Service should not be deemed a waiver of such right or remedy.
