The remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. The invalid or unenforceable provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable while preserving the parties' original intent.

13. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and MiscGyan Holdings LLC regarding your use of the Site and supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations, and warranties, both written and oral.
