CodeBroker will review the promotions to determine whether they adhere to these Terms and any obligations and requirements of its vendors and carriers. You acknowledge that promotion approvals by carriers are subject to change. CodeBroker cannot control approval changes by carriers. If an approval of a specific promotion changes or is removed, CodeBroker will notify you in writing and you will be obligated to institute such changes into your promotion, including if necessary the deactivation of a promotion.
23. INTEGRATION AND SEVERABILITY
The Terms (together with any written agreement between you and CodeBroker and/or the terms and conditions on any written invoice sent to you by CodeBroker) constitutes the entire agreement between you and CodeBroker and governs your use of the Service, superseding any prior agreements between you and CodeBroker (including, but not limited to, any prior versions of the Terms). You also may be subject to additional terms and conditions that may apply when you use affiliate or other CodeBroker partner services, third-party content or third-party software. If any provision of the Terms or incorporated documents are found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of the Terms remain in full force and effect. You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Service or the Terms against CodeBroker must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred. The section titles in the Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect.
