This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between ALTERRA HEALTH and You concerning Your use of the Services. This Agreement may only be modified by a written amendment signed by an authorized executive of ALTERRA HEALTH or by the unilateral amendment of this Agreement by ALTERRA HEALTH and by the posting by ALTERRA HEALTH of such amended version. If any part of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, that part will be construed to reflect the parties’ original intent, and the remaining portions will remain in full force and effect. A waiver by either party of any term or condition of this Agreement or any breach thereof, in any one instance, will not waive such term or condition or any subsequent breach thereof. ALTERRA HEALTH may assign or transfer this Agreement at any time, with or without notice to You. This Agreement and all of Your rights and obligations hereunder will not be assignable or transferable by You without the prior written consent of ALTERRA HEALTH. This Agreement will be binding upon and will inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors and permitted assigns. You and ALTERRA HEALTH are independent contractors, and no agency, partnership, joint venture or employee-employer relationship is intended or created by this Agreement. Except for the ALTERRA HEALTH Parties and the Indemnified Parties as and to the extent set forth in Sections 18, 21, 25 and 28(c), and ALTERRA HEALTH’s licensors and suppliers as and to the extent expressly set forth in Section 23, there are no third-party beneficiaries to this Agreement. You acknowledge and agree that any actual or threatened breach of this Agreement or infringement of proprietary or other third party rights by You would cause irreparable injury to ALTERRA HEALTH and ALTERRA HEALTH’s licensors and suppliers, and would therefore entitle ALTERRA HEALTH or ALTERRA HEALTH’s licensors or suppliers, as the case may be, to injunctive relief. The headings in this Agreement are for the purpose of convenience only and shall not limit, enlarge, or affect any of the covenants, terms, conditions or provisions of this Agreement.
