Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement will bind and inure to the benefit of each party’s permitted successors and assigns.

16.3        Waiver. The failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision shall not affect Company’s right to exercise or enforce such right or provision at any time thereafter, nor shall a waiver of any breach or default of these Terms constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach or default or a waiver of the provision itself.
