- MISCELLANEOUS. The parties agree that this Agreement is for the benefit of the parties hereto as well as CBG’s licensors. Accordingly, this Agreement is personal to you, and you may not assign your rights or obligations to any other person or entity without CBG’s prior written consent. Failure by CBG to insist on strict performance of any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement will not operate as a waiver by CBG of that or any subsequent default or failure of performance. If any provision (or part thereof) contained in this Agreement is determined to be void, invalid, or otherwise unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction or on account of a conflict with an applicable government regulation, such determination shall not affect the remaining provisions (or parts thereof) contained herein and the illegal, invalid, or unenforceable clause shall be modified in compliance with applicable law in a manner that most closely matches the intent of the original language. No joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship exists between you and CBG as result of this Agreement or your utilization of the Master Class. This Agreement represents the entire agreement between you and CBG with respect to use of the Master Class, and it supersedes all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals, whether electronic, oral, or written between you and CBG with respect to the Master Class.
