21. Waiver / Severability. The failure of Acuity to exercise or enforce any right or provision of this App EULA shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. Should any court or legal authority hold any provision of this App EULA unenforceable or invalid for any reason, then You and Acuity agree that such court or authority shall attempt to craft an acceptable provision most closely resembling the intent of the offending provision, and if such court or authority is unable or unwilling to do so then this App EULA shall be construed as if such provision were never contained in this App EULA.

If another written agreement signed by Acuity and You both governs the Software and expressly and unambiguously states that this EULA, by specific reference, is subservient to that agreement, then that agreement and this EULA, interpreted together in accordance with Section 23, shall constitute the Agreement.
