Notwithstanding the foregoing, Company may assign this Agreement to its Affiliates and may, at any time and without prior consent or approval of Client, subcontract all or part of the Services under this Agreement to its Affiliates and any Third Party. 16.8 The Services may contain features designed to interoperate with other applications of a Third Party. Company will not guarantee the continued availability of such Services features, and may cease providing them without entitling Client to any refund, credit, or other compensation. 16.9 No delay or failure by either Party to exercise any power, right or remedy under this Agreement will operate as a waiver, nor will any single or partial exercise of any power, right or remedy preclude any other or further exercise of them. A waiver of any term, provision, condition or breach of this Agreement shall only be effective if given in writing and signed by the waiving Party, and then only in the instance and for the purpose for which it is given. 16.10 If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect by a competent court or other authority, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the other provisions, and both Parties shall negotiate in good faith a provision, which is valid, legal and enforceable with the meaning closest to the invalidated provision. 16.11 The provisions of Sections 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, and 15 and any other provisions which by its nature shall continue shall survive the termination of this Agreement. 16.12 Trade Compliance. Each Party will comply with legal and regulatory obligations and restrictions including, but not limited to, those arising from trade and economic sanctions laws and regulations of the United States, the European Union, the United Nations, other jurisdictions or any of its member states, or the resolutions or pronouncements of certain international bodies (the “Trade Restrictions”). In the event Client fails to comply with any provision of this Section or violates any Trade Restrictions in connection with the Services, Company shall have the right to cease Services and/or take action as required by the applicable laws. 16.13 Unless expressly stated herein, this Agreement shall be solely for the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and no other person shall be a third-party beneficiary hereof.Appendix A List of InsureMO Contracting Entity and Address of Notices
