All waivers under this Agreement must be in writing. Any waiver or failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement on one occasion will not be deemed a waiver of any other provision or of such provision on any other occasion. This Agreement is in the English language only, which language will be controlling in all respects. USE OF THE SOFTWARE AND SERVICES. You must be at least 13 years old to use the Software and the Services. If You are 13 or older and younger than 18, then You agree to review this Agreement with Your parent or guardian and have Your parent or guardian accept this agreement on Your behalf.
