Neither party may assign this Agreement or any of its rights or obligations hereunder, to a third party without the other party’s written consent, except that a party may assign this Agreement without such consent as a consequence of a merger, consolidation, reorganization, or sale of substantially all of its assets or of the business to which this Agreement pertains. Any assignment in violation of the foregoing is null and void. This Agreement inures to the benefit of and is binding upon the parties hereto and their successors and assigns.

7. No Agency. Neither party has the ability to bind the other party to any agreements or other obligations and will not attempt to do so. Wyzewaze and you are independent contractors, and nothing in this Agreement creates any partnership, joint venture or agency relationship. As between each other, each party is fully responsible for all persons and entities it employs or retains.
8. Remedies. All rights and remedies of the parties, under this Agreement, in law or at equity, are cumulative and may be exercised concurrently or separately. The exercise of one remedy will not be an election of that remedy to the exclusion of other remedies. A party’s breach or threatened breach of any of its covenants or agreements in this Agreement may cause irreparable injury that is inadequately compensable in monetary damages.
