Your continued use or accessing of the Services following the posting of any such changes to the Terms constitutes your acceptance of the changed Terms.

Such different terms are made available through the individual project or service and are not addressed further herein. If any provision of this Agreement is found by a court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator to be illegal, void, or unenforceable, the unenforceable provision will be modified so as to render it enforceable and effective to the maximum extent possible in order to effect the intention of the provision; if a court or arbitrator finds the modified provision invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement will not be affected in any way.
E. SURVIVAL
