18. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable under applicable law, including the laws of the Slovak Republic or applicable EU regulations, such provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, or if such modification is not possible, it shall be severed from these Terms. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions, which shall continue in full force and effect as if the invalid or unenforceable provision had never been included.

19. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, and any other policies, guidelines, or agreements incorporated by reference herein, constitute the entire agreement between you and Šepot with respect to your use of our services and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements, representations, warranties, and understandings, whether oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof.

No waiver by us of any breach of these Terms shall be considered a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or any other provision. Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of that right or provision.

20. Assignment

You may not assign, transfer, delegate, or sublicense any of your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent. Any purported assignment in violation of this Section shall be null and void. We may freely assign or transfer our rights and obligations under these Terms to any affiliate, successor, or in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or substantially all of our assets, without your consent, provided that the assignee agrees to be bound by these Terms.

21. No Partnership or Agency
