You may not assign the ToS, or assign, transfer or sublicense your rights, if any, in the Platform. We may assign, transfer or delegate any of our rights and obligations hereunder without consent.

In the event that any provision or any portion of any provision of the ToS shall be held to be void or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of the ToS (and the balance of any provisions held void or unenforceable in part only) shall continue in full force and effect. If you do not agree with any part of these terms and conditions, or you have a dispute or claim against Made Market or its supplier or affiliates with respect to the ToS you should immediately refrain from using the Platform. No agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment relationship is created as a result of the ToS and neither party has any authority of any kind to bind the other in any respect.
