The failure of either Party to enforce at any time any of the provisions of the signed Agreement, or the failure to require at any time performance by either Party of any of the provisions of the signed Agreement, shall in no way be construed to be a present or future waiver of such provisions, nor in any way affect the ability of a Party to enforce each and every such provision thereafter.
