16. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any other agreements expressly incorporated by reference herein, constitute the entire agreement between you and A11yCore with respect to the Services and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications, whether electronic, oral, or written, between you and A11yCore regarding the Services.

No waiver of any term or condition of these Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term, and A11yCore's failure to assert any right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
