15. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. The invalid provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable while preserving its original intent.

16. Changes to Terms

We reserve the right to update or modify these Terms at any time. When we make changes, we will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the website after any changes means you accept the updated Terms.
