Nothing in these Terms will be interpreted as excluding liability which cannot under applicable law be excluded in those jurisdictions.

Section titles are only for convenience and have no legal or contractual significance. We may assign these Terms, in whole or in part, at any time, with or without notice to you. You may not assign, transfer, or sublicense your rights, if any, in the Site.

Both you and ADDI warrant to each other that, in entering these Terms, neither you nor ADDI have relied on or will have any right or remedy based upon any statement, representation, warranty, or assurance other than those expressly stated in these Terms. The preceding sentence will not limit or exclude any liability that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable law. No one other than you and ADDI, Indemnified Persons, or ADDI’s successors and permitted assigns, will have any right to enforce any of these Terms.
