Entire Agreement/Severability. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any amendments and any additional agreements you may enter into with PropTerest in connection with the Products, shall constitute the entire agreement between you and PropTerest concerning the Products. If any provision of these Terms is deemed invalid, then that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect.

No Waiver. No waiver of any term of these Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term, and PropTerest's failure to assert any right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

More simply put:

These three passages are part of just about every online terms agreement. Basically, they ensure that a deal is a deal when you're using a site, including PropTerest.
