Severability. If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, it will be limited or removed to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

Entire agreement; no waiver; assignment. These Terms, together with the documents they incorporate, are the entire agreement between you and OBCFaces regarding the Platform.
