Power of Attorney: You irrevocably appoint us and any authorising officer of ours severally to be your attorney to execute all such documents and to do such things as may be required on your part to give effect to the provisions of the Customer Agreement.

Relationship: Nothing in your Customer Agreement establishes a partnership, employment, franchise of joint venture relationship between you and us. You are an independent contractor and you represent and warrant that compensation received from us is not your only source of income.  You are not required by us to incur any costs or expenses pursuant to this Agreement.  If you do incur costs and expenses, you agree to pay them and not seek reimbursement from us.  No payment or withholding of any taxes related to income received by you from us will be made by us.  You are solely responsible for withholding and payment of all applicable taxes.  Neither party will have the power to bind the other party or incur obligations on the other party's behalf without the other party's prior written consent.

Remedies: The rights and remedies provided in the Customer Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies otherwise provided by law.

Severability: In the event that any provision of the Partner Agreement is determined to be unlawful, void or unenforceable, such provision shall nonetheless be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and the unenforceable portion shall be deemed to be severed from the Customer Agreement, such determination shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any other remaining provisions.

Third Party Rights: An entity which is not expressly a party to your Customer Agreement shall have no right to enforce any term of the Customer Agreement.

Waiver:  No delay or failure by either party to exercise any of its powers, rights or remedies under your Customer Agreement will operate as a waiver of them, nor any single or partial exercise of any such powers, rights or remedies preclude any other or further exercise of them. Any waiver to be effective must be in writing.
