authorized to reform the provision(s) to the minimum extent necessary to
render them valid and enforceable in conformity with the intent of the
parties as shown herein.

be deemed binding acceptance of the modification. It is your sole
responsibility to review this Agreement and amendments hereto each time
you access your account.

in part, to any person or entity without notice and you will be deemed to
