At no time shall you or PREAPP act as an agent for or make commitments for or in the name of the other party.

16.10. Jury Trial Waived. As provided in the Arbitration Clause above, you acknowledge that all disputes with PREAPP shall be resolved through arbitration. Should any arbitration or court find such restriction unenforceable and/or should any dispute appear before a court, you expressly waive any right to a jury trial in any action against PREAPP for any claims related to the Services. In fact, by using the Services and agreeing to these Terms of Use, you expressly agree that you shall not be permitted to obtain a jury trial in any action against PREAPP.

16.11. Paragraph and Section Headings. Paragraph and Section headings are for convenience only and shall not be used to construe the Terms of Use or otherwise be given any legal effect.

16.13. Savings Clause. In the event that any provision of the Terms of Use is held to be void or unenforceable by a Court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions of the Terms of Use shall nevertheless be binding upon the Parties with the same effect as though the void or unenforceable part had been deleted. Further, any provision held to be void or unenforceable by a Court of competent jurisdiction shall be construed, if possible, to give effect to the Parties’ intent. The Parties agree that any such provision, in its form so modified by the court, shall then be enforceable and shall be enforced.

16.14. Statute of Limitations. To the extent permitted by law, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Services shall be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose.

16.16. Waiver.

16.16.1.

16.16.2. The failure of PREAPP to insist, in any one or more instances, upon the performance of any of the terms of this Agreement or to exercise any right hereunder shall not be construed as a waiver of the future performance of any such term or the future exercise of such right.

16.16.3. No PREAPP employee, agent, or representative, including, without limitation, a customer service representative, shall be entitled to waive any term of the Terms of Use or any other PREAPP agreement or policy.
