bind you and SquareX and SquareX’s respective successors in title and
assigns. These Terms of Use will continue to bind you notwithstanding

consolidation or amalgamation with or into any such other entity (in
which case these Terms of Use will bind you to SquareX’s successor
entity).
18.6
If any provision or part thereof of these Terms of Use is held to be

of any of SquareX’s rights, powers and privileges under these Terms of
Use shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise

exercise thereof or any other right, power or privilege. Such failure
or delay shall not affect SquareX’s right to enforce its rights under
these Terms of Use.
