Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sublime shall have no obligation under this Agreement to provide any such upgrades, patches, enhancements, fixes or any other support for the API.

Except as otherwise set forth in the Terms of Use, this Agreement may be amended only by a writing executed by both parties. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be reformed only to the extent necessary to make it enforceable. The failure of Sublime to act with respect to a breach of this Agreement by Licensee or others does not constitute a waiver and shall not limit Sublime’s rights with respect to such breach or any subsequent breaches. This Agreement is personal to Licensee and may not be assigned or transferred for any reason whatsoever without Sublime’s consent and any action or conduct in violation of the foregoing shall be void and without effect. Sublime expressly reserves the right to assign this Agreement and to delegate any of its obligations hereunder.

The party prevailing in any dispute under this Agreement shall be entitled to its costs and legal fees.
