If any part of these Terms is determined to be invalid or unenforceable pursuant to applicable law including, but not limited to, the warranty disclaimers and liability limitations set forth above, then the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed superseded by a valid, enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision and the remaining provisions in these Terms shall continue in effect.

If we make any changes to these Terms that we deem to be material changes, we will notify you by sending an email to the email address you most recently provided us in your Account, profile or registration (unless we do not have such an email address), and/or by prominently posting notice of the changes on the Websites. We recommend that you check the Websites from time to time to inform yourself of any changes to these Terms or any of our policies.
