In the event GreenVybe seeks injunctive relief, GreenVybe shall be able to seek such injunctive relief in a court of proper jurisdiction without the necessity of posting a bond or proving the inadequacy of damages, and be entitled to the reimbursement of all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees plus legal rate of interest) incurred in connection with the enforcement of the foregoing right. 20.

If any provision of the Terms of Use is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that the Terms of Use will otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable. The failure of either party to exercise in any respect any right provided for herein shall not be deemed a waiver of any further rights hereunder. 21. Miscellaneous GreenVybe shall not be liable for any failure to perform its obligations hereunder where such failure results from any cause beyond GreenVybe's reasonable control, including, without limitation, mechanical, electronic or communications failure or degradation. The Terms of Use are personal to you, and are not assignable, transferable or sublicensable by you except with GreenVybe's prior written consent. GreenVybe may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights and obligations hereunder without consent. No agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment relationship is created as a result of the Terms of Use and neither party has any authority of any kind to bind the other in any respect. You agree that these Terms of Use will not be construed against GreenVybe by virtue of having drafted these Terms of Use. In any action or proceeding to enforce rights under the Terms of Use, the prevailing party will be entitled to recover costs and reasonable attorneys' fees plus legal rate of interests.
