Customer may not assign this Agreement, or sublicense any of its rights, without the ERE Media's prior written consent. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns. The failure of a party to exercise or enforce any right under this Agreement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of that right, nor operate to bar the exercise or enforcement of that right at any time unless a right is specifically time limited. If any portion of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining portions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect. Any invalid or unenforceable portions will be interpreted to effect the intent of the original portion. Sections 3, 4, 7, 8 and 9 shall survive termination of this Agreement.
