Miscellaneous
Neither you nor iFoster will be deemed to be a partner, employee, fiduciary, agent or representative of the other by your use of the Site. You may not sell, trade, lease, assign or otherwise transfer your rights hereunder to any third party. The Terms of Use do not create rights enforceable by third parties. IFoster may assign its rights and duties under the Terms of Use without such assignment being considered a change to the Terms of Use and without notice to you. The Terms of Use are severable. In the event that any provision is determined to be unenforceable or invalid, such provision will still be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and such determination will not affect the validity and enforceability of any other remaining provisions. If iFoster fails to enforce any provision of the Terms of Use, it will not constitute a waiver of such provision. The Terms of Use will inure to the benefit of iFoster’s successors, assignees and licensees. The Terms of Use and the Projects Privacy Policy and any modification by iFoster to either or both of the foregoing, constitute the entire understanding between iFoster regarding your access to, license and use of the Site and they supersede any prior agreement, statement or representation with respect to the same. The headings of the sections of the Terms of Use were added for convenience and are not to be deemed a part of the Terms of Use.
