Severability

If any provision of these Terms of Use is found to be unlawful, invalid, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be deemed severed from these Terms and will not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions.

The remaining provisions of these Terms shall remain in full force and effect, and the unenforceable provision shall be replaced with a valid, enforceable provision that most closely reflects the original intent of the parties to the fullest extent permitted by law.

This severability clause ensures that the rest of the agreement remains operational, even if part of it is rendered invalid or unenforceable.

General Provisions

Riddec Games may assign or delegate these Terms of Use and/or the Privacy Policy, in whole or in part, to any person or entity at any time without Your consent.

The failure of Riddec Games to require or enforce strict performance by You of any provision of these Terms of Use or the Privacy Policy shall not be construed as a waiver of any provision or right.
