14. MISCELLANEOUS. The Terms and the relationship between you and SCI shall be governed by the laws of the State of Texas without regard to its conflict of law provisions. The failure of SCI to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of the Terms is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties agree that the court should try to give effect to the parties" intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of the Terms shall remain in full force and effect.
