This waiver applies to any subsequent amendments, renewals, supplements, or modifications to this Agreement.

Each Party acknowledges that, in entering into this Agreement, it has not relied on, and will have no right or remedy in respect of, any representation or warranty (whether made negligently or innocently) that is not set out in this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to limit or exclude any liability for fraud, gross negligence, or willful misconduct. This Agreement will prevail over any additional, conflicting, or inconsistent terms or conditions that may appear on any purchase order or other document furnished by Client to Marine Digital Retailing™. In the event of conflict or inconsistency between provisions of this Agreement and (i) any Order Form, the terms of this Agreement will prevail to the extent of the conflict, unless the Order Form expressly references the provision of this Agreement to be superseded; or (ii) any Schedule, the terms of the Schedule will prevail to the extent of the conflict. Signatures sent by electronic means will be deemed original signatures.
