25. MISCELLANEOUS
These Terms of Use represents the complete agreement between you and EMMAWELL concerning the Platform and supersedes all prior agreements and representations, warranties or understandings between you and EMMAWELL (whether negligently or innocently made but excluding those made fraudulently), regarding the same subject matter. Except with respect to any HIPAA BAA entered into between you and EMMAWELL, EMMAWELL reserves the right to amend these Terms of Use at any time, at its sole discretion. If any part of these Terms of Use is determined to be invalid or unenforceable pursuant to applicable law including, but not limited to, the warranty disclaimers and liability limitations set forth above, then the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed superseded by a valid, enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision and the remainder of these Terms of Use shall continue in effect. Any failure by us to enforce or exercise any provision of these Terms of Use or related rights shall not constitute a waiver of that right or provision.
EMMAWELL may assign these Terms of Use, in whole or in part, at any time.
