14.1Parties. The Parties are independent contractors.

14.2Entire Agreement and Revisions. These Terms, including any exhibits and Pricing Agreement(s), constitute the entire agreement, and supersede all prior or contemporaneous, written or oral understandings, communications or agreements between the Parties regarding such subject matter, including any click-wrap terms. Any use of Your pre-printed forms, such as purchase orders, are for convenience only, and any pre-printed terms and conditions set forth in Your printed forms that are in addition to, inconsistent or in conflict with, or different than these Terms shall be null and void. Neither commencement of performance, nor failure to object to any additional or different terms and conditions from You, nor provision of Services, by, in each case, Us or the other Group Companies shall constitute an acceptance of any terms and conditions proposed by You that are in addition to, inconsistent or in conflict with, or different than these Terms. In the event of a conflict between any Pricing Agreement and these Terms, the Pricing Agreement shall prevail to the extent it is intended to. We may amend these Terms from time to time by posting the most current version on Our Website, in which case the new Terms will supersede prior versions. Please check these Terms periodically to take notice of changes as they will be binding on You. If an amendment materially affects Your rights, We will notify You (by, for example, sending a message to the e-mail address associated with Your Account, or posting on Our blog or on the Website or as a notification inside the Services). Your continued use of the Services following the effective date of any such amendment may be relied upon by Us as Your acceptance of any such amendment.

In the event any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the valid or enforceable portion thereof and the remaining provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect.
