If any provision is unenforceable, the rest remain in effect, modified to reflect the original intent. Headings are for convenience and not interpretation. Rights under these Terms are cumulative and may be exercised concurrently. You cannot assign these Terms without our prior written approval; any such assignment is void. We may assign these Terms to any party that assumes our obligations.
