Notwithstanding the provision of Section 14.1, FTI shall have no liability for any infringement arising from: (i) the integration or combination of the Software together with other software, materials or products not integrated or combined by FTI, if the infringement would have been avoided in the absence of such integration or combination; (ii) the use of other than a current unaltered release of the Software available from FTI, if the infringement would have been avoided by the use of the then-current release; (iii) modifications to the Software that were not authorized by FTI or were undertaken at the request of or direction of Customer; or (iv) Customer’s use of the Software in a manner that does not comply with this Agreement. 

15. Severability. 
 
If any provisions of this Agreement shall for any reason be held illegal or unenforceable, such provision shall be deemed separable from the remaining provisions of this Agreement and shall in no way affect or impair the validity or the enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement. 

16. Waiver. 

This Agreement, and any of its terms, may not be waived, altered, or modified except by a written agreement executed between the Customer and FTI. No delay or failure of either party in exercising any right and no partial or single exercise of any right shall be deemed to constitute a waiver of that right or any rights under this Agreement.
