Termination will be effective without prior notice and may impact (and prohibit) submission of any information. You may also terminate these Terms at any time by ceasing to use the Services, but all applicable provisions of these Terms will survive termination, as identified below, and each re-access or use of the Services will reapply these Terms (then in effect) to you.

24. Waiver & Severability. Failure to insist on strict performance of any of the terms and conditions of these Terms will not operate as a waiver of any subsequent default or failure of performance. No waiver by ParticipACTION of any right under these Terms will be deemed to be either a waiver of any other right or provision or a waiver of that same right or provision at any other time. If any part of these Terms is determined to be invalid or unenforceable pursuant to applicable law including, but not limited to, the warranty disclaimers and the liability limitations set forth above, then the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed superseded by a valid, enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision and the remainder of these Terms shall continue in effect.
25. Entire Agreement. No joint venture, partnership, employment, affiliate, or agency relationship exists between you and ParticipACTION as a result of these Terms or your utilization of the Services. These Terms, any terms or conditions specific to particular Services, and the Privacy Policy represent the entire agreement between you and ParticipACTION with respect to use of the Services, and they supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals, whether electronic, oral, or written between you and ParticipACTION with respect to Services.
