This Agreement may be amended or modified, (including the addition of services outside the scope and intent of this Agreement, or a waiver of any provision of this Agreement), only by writing signed by both parties hereto. The waiver or the failure to insist upon the strict performance of any provision of this Agreement by either party shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment of the right to rely upon such provision on any future occasion.
