14.4     Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be contrary to law, the provision shall be modified by the court and interpreted so as best to accomplish the objectives of the original provision to the fullest extent permitted by law, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in effect.

14.5     Assignment.  Neither party may assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder, whether by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior express written consent of the other party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may assign this Agreement together with all rights and obligations hereunder, without consent of the other party, in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets related to this Agreement not involving a direct competitor of the other party.  Any attempt by a party to assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement in breach of this section shall be void and of no effect.  Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their respective successors and permitted assigns.

14.9    Entire Agreement.  This Agreement, including all exhibits and addenda hereto, along with all Order Forms and Statements of Work executed hereunder, constitute the entire agreement between the parties as to its subject matter, and supersede all previous and contemporaneous agreements, proposals or representations, written or oral, concerning the subject matter of this Agreement.  No modification, amendment, or waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing and signed by the party against whom the modification, amendment, or waiver is to be asserted.  Customer agrees that its agreement hereunder is not contingent upon the delivery of any future functionality or features not specified herein or in an Order Form nor dependent upon any oral or written, public or private comments made by EduBrite with respect to future functionality or features for the Platform Services.  In the event of any conflict between the provisions in this Agreement and any Order Form or Statement of Work, the terms of such Order Form or Statement of Work shall prevail.  No terms or conditions stated in a Customer purchase order or in any other Customer order documentation shall be incorporated into or form any part of this Agreement, and all such terms or conditions shall be null and void.
