19.GENERAL

This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between Paladin and You concerning Your use of the Website and Services.

If any part of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, that part will be construed to reflect the parties’ original intent, and the remaining portions will remain in full force and effect. A waiver by either party of any term or condition of this Agreement or any breach thereof, in any one instance, will not waive such term or condition or any subsequent breach thereof. This Agreement and all of Your rights and obligations hereunder will not be assignable or transferable by You without the prior written consent of Paladin. This Agreement will be binding upon and will inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors and permitted assigns. You acknowledge and agree that any actual or threatened breach of this Agreement or infringement of proprietary or other third party rights by You would cause irreparable injury to Paladin and Paladin’s licensors and suppliers, and would therefore entitle Paladin or Paladin’s licensors or suppliers, as the case may be, to injunctive relief. The headings in this Agreement are for the purpose of convenience only and shall not limit, enlarge, or affect any of the covenants, terms, conditions or provisions of this Agreement. The phrases and terms “background check”, “validation”, and “certification” are used on this website and in this agreement for convenience only and shall not limit, expand, modify or aid in the interpretation of this agreement.
