- No Waiver. The failure by either you or Diesel Buddy to enforce any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be construed as a waiver of any such provision or provisions, or prevent you or Diesel Buddy from thereafter enforcing that provision or provisions and every other provision of this Agreement.
- Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are severable, and if any one or more provisions are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, in whole or in part, then the remaining provisions shall nevertheless be binding and enforceable.

If you and Diesel Buddy are unable to resolve any Claim or dispute via good faith negotiations, then you and Diesel Buddy shall, prior to commencement of any legal action or suit, participate in nonbinding mediation proceedings, with a mediator chosen jointly by you and Diesel Buddy and with the costs of mediation divided equally between you and Diesel Buddy. Should mediation not result in a mutually acceptable agreement and resolution of the Claim, then the claiming party shall be entitled, if it so elects, to institute and prosecute proceedings in any court of competent jurisdiction, either at law or in equity, to obtain damages for breach of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither party shall be prevented from seeking an injunction at any time.

- Attorney’s Fees. If any legal action arises under this Agreement or by reason of any asserted breach of it, then the prevailing party in such action shall be entitled to recover all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred in such action. The amount of attorneys’ fees shall be determined by the court sitting without a jury.
- Section Headings. Section headings in this Agreement are for convenience only and will not have any impact on the interpretation of any provision.
