Should any stipulation of these Terms of Service be determined unlawful, unenforceable, or void, such stipulation shall nonetheless be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and the unenforceable provision shall be deemed to be severed from these Terms of Service, such that the determination will not impact the validity and enforceability of any other remaining stipulations.
