10.2. Amendment: Labworks may amend this Agreement at any time. We will notify you if the Agreement is amended. Continued use of the Website after we amend the Agreement constitutes your agreement to any such amendment.
10.3. Waiver of Default: No consent or waiver, express or implied, by Labworks with respect to any breach of this Agreement by you or default by you shall be deemed or construed to be a consent or waiver with respect to any other breach or default by you of the same provision or any other provision of this Agreement. Failure on the part of Labworks to complain of any act or failure to act by you or to declare you in breach shall not be deemed or constitute a waiver by us of any rights hereunder.
10.4. No Third Party Rights; Assignment: None of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall be for the benefit of or enforceable by any third parties including your creditors. You may not assign this Agreement or any of your rights or responsibilities under this Agreement to any third party.

If any provision set out in these General Terms and Conditions should prove to be void, this will not affect the validity of the General Terms and Conditions as a whole. In that case, the Parties will lay down one or more new provisions in replacement which will reflect the original provision as much as is possible under the law.
