Nothing
contained in these Terms and Conditions shall be construed

a waiver of the provision itself. In the event that any provision
of these Terms and Conditions shall be unenforceable or invalid
under any applicable law or be so held by any applicable court
decision, such unenforceability or invalidity shall not render
these Terms and Conditions unenforceable or invalid as a whole.
WorldMark may amend or replace such provision
with one that is valid and enforceable and which achieves,
to the extent possible, their original objectives and intent
as reflected in the original provision.
