Entire Agreement

These Terms of Use are the complete statement of the agreement of the parties with respect to the subject hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings between the parties hereto with respect to the subject hereof.  In order to be binding, any amendment or modification of this agreement must be effected by an instrument in writing signed by the parties.
