If either party waives a right granted in this Agreement, it must be done so in writing and signed by the party holding that right. If a party fails to exercise a right, it should not be interpreted as a waiver to exercise that same right, or any other right, in the future.
41. Suitability and Comfort. The Member accepts that the very nature of a large, shared working environment is such that the standards for issues such as aesthetics and room temperature vary from individual to individual. The Member also accepts that, in attempting to satisfy the collective and varied standards of the large group of people working in the Facilities, it is sometimes possible that an individual’s standards will not match those of the majority of occupants and, thus, sometimes an individual Member’s standards may not be met from time to time. Therefore, the Member hereby accepts that the Facilities may not be best suited for every type of business or individual and, that if the Member’s individual standards cannot be met, Member shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days prior written notice.
Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter contained herein, and supersedes and replaces all prior or contemporaneous understandings or agreements, written or oral, regarding such subject matter.
