The failure of Northside to act with respect to a breach by you or others does not waive Northside’s right to act with respect to subsequent or similar breaches. Northside’s failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. Any waiver of any provision of these Terms will be effective only if in writing signed by an officer of Northside.
