No waiver shall be binding unless executed in writing by the party making the waiver. If any provision of these Terms is determined to be illegal or unenforceable, then such provision shall be construed by modifying it to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, unless such modification is not permitted by law, in which case that provision is to be disregarded and the other provisions will remain fully effective and enforceable.

10.5. Interpretation. In the event of a dispute, no provision of these Terms will be construed in favor of one party and against the other by reason of the draftsmanship of these Terms.
