You and Bridge intend that the provisions of this Agreement be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. Accordingly, you and Bridge agree that if any provision is deemed unenforceable, where possible, it will be modified to the extent necessary to make it enforceable, which may include its deletion. Bridge may assign this Agreement, in whole or in part, at any time with or without notice to you. You may not assign this Agreement or assign, transfer, or sublicense your rights, if any, to access or use the Platform or its content, and any attempt by you to do so is void.

This Agreement (including any incorporated terms) constitutes the entire agreement between you and Bridge with respect to the Platform and its contents. Both you and Bridge warrant to each other that, in entering into this Agreement, neither Bridge nor you have relied on or will have any right or remedy based upon any statement, representation, warranty, or assurance other than those expressly stated in this Agreement.
