Electronic Team fully intends to enforce these Terms of Service in strict performance, however, Electronic Team reserves the right to enforce and waive breaches, remedies, and rights on a case-by-case basis. Any such waiver, as discussed above, must be made in writing and executed by Electronic Team, and when appropriate You, in order for any effect to be given to said waiver. No waiver will be effective without Electronic Team’s authorized signature, and when Your signature is required, no waiver also will be effective without Your authorized signature, unless Electronic Team can prove reasonable efforts were given or bad faith is at issue.
