If any provision of the Terms is found invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, you agree that every attempt will be made to give effect to the parties' intentions as reflected in that provision to the extent permitted by applicable law, and such finding will not affect the balance of the Terms, which will remain valid and enforceable. You may not assign your rights or delegate your duties under the Terms. Where we have provided a translation of the Terms into a language other than English, then you agree that the translation is provided only for your convenience, and that the English language version of the Terms will govern your relationship with us. If there is any conflict between the English language version of the Terms and the translation of the Terms, then the English language version will control. NAI and its licensors will not be liable for any nonperformance or delay in performance caused by any unforeseen act or event beyond their control. Each of our affiliates and each licensor is a third party beneficiary of, and will have the right to enforce, the Terms against you.
