You agree that no joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship exists between you and Wycademy as a result of these Terms of Use or your use of the Website. Wycademy’s performance of these Terms of Use is subject to existing laws and legal process, and nothing contained in these Terms of Use is in derogation of Wycademy’s right to comply with governmental, court and law enforcement requests or requirements relating to your use of the Website or information provided to or gathered by Wycademy with respect to such use.

If any part of these Terms of Use is determined to be invalid or unenforceable pursuant to applicable law including, but not limited to, the warranty disclaimers and liability limitations set forth above, then the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed superseded by a valid, enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision and the remainder of the Terms of Use shall continue in effect.

Unless otherwise specified herein or in another written agreement between you and Wycademy, these Terms of Use constitute the entire agreement between the User and Wycademy with respect to the Website and it supersedes all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals, whether electronic, oral or written, between the User and Wycademy with respect to the Website. A printed version of these Terms of Use and of any notice given in electronic form shall be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to these Terms of Use to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form. No waiver by either party of any breach or default hereunder shall be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or subsequent breach or default.

Any heading, caption, or paragraph title contained in these Terms of Use is inserted only as a matter of convenience and in no way defines or explains any paragraph or provision hereof. Nothing in these Terms of Use shall be deemed to confer any third-party rights or benefits. These Terms of Use, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you, but may be assigned by Wycademy without restriction.

Any rights not expressly granted herein are reserved.
