In the case of such rejection, this Agreement will continue under its original provisions, and the amendment will become effective at the start of Customer’s next renewal Subscription Term following the Proposed Amendment Date. Customer’s continued use of the Cloud Service following the effective date of such renewal Subscription Term constitutes Customer’s acceptance of such amended terms. This Agreement may not be amended in any other way except through a written agreement signed by authorized representatives of each Party. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing and signed by the waiving Party. No failure or delay in exercising any right shall constitute a waiver of such right.

FOCUS's failure to object to any such terms or conditions shall not constitute a waiver of this provision or an acceptance of any such terms or conditions.
    12. Entire Agreement.

    15. Aid in Construction. The Parties acknowledge that each Party and its respective counsel have reviewed and revised this Agreement and that the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting Party shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement or any amendments or exhibits, or schedules hereto.
