17 MISCELLANEOUS
This Services Agreement, any applicable Schedules included in a Service Order, and any applicable Country Specific Terms are incorporated in your Service Order by reference, sometimes to pages on the Rackspace website. Although we may from time to time revise the Terms posted on those web pages, those revisions will not be effective as to a Service Order that you signed prior to the date we posted the revisions, and your Service Order will continue to be governed by the Services Agreement, Schedules, and terms posted on the effective date of the Service Order until the first day of any renewal or extended term that follows the date we published the revision. If over time you sign multiple Agreements for a single RPC –for example to add service elements or support levels, then the version of the Terms referenced in the last signed Service Order will govern the entire RPC, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
If there is a conflict between the terms of a Service Order and this Agreement, then this Agreement shall control. If any part of this Agreement or a Service Order is found unenforceable by a court, the rest of the Agreement or Service Order will nonetheless continue in effect, and the unenforceable part shall be reformed to the extent possible to make it enforceable but still consistent with the business and financial objectives of the parties underlying the Agreement. Each party may enforce its respective rights under the Agreement even if it has waived the right or failed to enforce the same or other rights in the past. The relationship between the parties is that of independent contractors and not business partners. Neither party is the agent for the other, and neither party has the right to bind the other on any agreement with a third party. The captions in the Agreement are for convenience only and are not part of the Agreement. The use of the word “including” in the Agreement shall be read to mean “including without limitation.”Any use in this Agreement of words denoting the singular include the plural and vice versa. References to sections or subsections refer to sections or subsections of this Agreement. The terms of this Agreement may be varied only by a written agreement signed by both parties that expressly refers to this Agreement. The pre-printed terms of each party’s business forms shall have no effect whatsoever. Any exhibits that are referenced in this Agreement are part of this Agreement, and are incorporated herein by this reference. The Agreement may be signed in multiple counterparts, which taken together will be considered one original. Facsimile signatures, signatures on an electronic image (such as .pdf or .jpg format), and electronic signatures shall be deemed to be original signatures.
This Agreement is the complete and exclusive agreement between the parties regarding its subject matter and supersedes and replaces any prior or contemporaneous agreement or understanding, whether written or oral.
