LEGAL COMPLIANCE

Customer shall comply with all applicable domestic and international laws, statutes, ordinances and regulations regarding its use of the Services.

 

AGENCY AND PARTNERSHIPS

This Agreement does not create any agency, employment, partnership, joint venture, franchise, or other similar or special relationship between you and GoodCarts. Neither Party will have the right or authority to assume or create any obligations or to make any representations, warranties or commitments on behalf of the other Party or its affiliates, whether express or implied, or to bind the other Party or its affiliates in any respect whatsoever.

 

ENTIRE AGREEMENT

This Agreement, as well as any additional GoodCarts terms and conditions, rules, policies, and service agreements, together with all modifications thereto, constitute the entire agreement between you and GoodCarts concerning your use of the Services and any other subject matter related to this Agreement, and supersedes and governs all prior proposals, agreements or other communications between you and GoodCarts (including, but not limited to, any prior versions of this Agreement). Customer may not waive, modify or supplement this Agreement, in whole or in part, except for written permission or amendment by GoodCarts. GoodCarts reserves the right to unilaterally modify and revise the Agreement from time to time. Such modifications or revisions shall be provided to Customer via the Notice provisions set forth in Section 11 above (Notice), and Customer shall be deemed to have accepted, and to be apprised of and bound by, any such modifications or revisions to the Agreement.

 

FORCE MAJEURE

Neither Party shall be deemed in default hereunder, nor shall it hold the other Party responsible for, any cessation, interruption or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder due to earthquake, flood, fire, storm, natural disaster, act of God, war, terrorism, armed conflict, labor strike, lockout, or boycott, provided that the Party relying upon this Section shall take all steps reasonably necessary under the circumstances to mitigate the effects of the force majeure event upon which such notice is based; provided further, that in the event a force majeure event described in this Section extends for a period in excess of thirty (30) days in the aggregate, GoodCarts may immediately terminate this Agreement and shall have no liability therefore.

 

ASSIGNMENT

Customer may not assign or transfer this Agreement or any of its rights or obligations hereunder, without the prior written consent of GoodCarts. Any attempted assignment in violation of the foregoing provision shall be null and void and of no force or effect whatsoever. GoodCarts may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement, and may engage subcontractors or agents in performing its duties and exercising its rights hereunder, without notice to or consent of the Customer. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

 

NO THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARY

You acknowledge and agree that nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to nor shall be construed to confer upon or give to any person, other than you, any interests, rights, remedies or other benefits conveyed to you herein.

 

SEVERABILITY

Waiver. Any failure by GoodCarts to enforce any of its rights under this Agreement or any applicable laws shall not constitute a waiver of such right. If any provision of this Agreement is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, GoodCarts will amend or replace such provision with one that is valid and enforceable and which achieves, to the extent possible, the original objectives and intent of GoodCarts as reflected in the original provision. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect.
