Worksorted will also have the right to assign its position under these Terms of Use in other circumstances with the written consent of Users. Users may not assign their rights existing under any subscription and these Terms of Use to another party without Worksorted's prior written consent.

18.2 The rights and obligations under these Terms of Use, which by their nature would reasonably continue beyond the expiration of termination of this Agreement, will survive the expiration of termination of these Terms of Use. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, clauses 7, 9, 11, 13, 14, 15 and 17 will survive the termination of these Terms of Use.

18.3 In the event that any one or more of the provisions contained herein shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions of these Terms of Use and these Terms of Use shall be construed as if such provisions had never been contained herein.

18.4 The fact that Worksorted may fail to do, or delay in doing, something it is entitled to do under these Terms of Use, does not amount to a waiver of any obligation of any User.

18.5 Users agree that no agency, joint venture, employee-employer, partnership or other similar relationship is created between them and Worksorted by virtue of these Terms of Use.
