(iii) If any provision of the TOU or Privacy Policy is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, you and GEC nevertheless agree that the court should endeavour to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of the TOU or Privacy Policy, as the case may be, shall remain in full force and effect.
(iv) The failure of GEC to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these TOU does not constitute a waiver of such right or provision, which will still be available to GEC.
