18.No Waiver

The failure of Voys to require or enforce strict performance by you of any provision of these Terms of Services or the Privacy Policy or failure to exercise any right under them shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment of Voys’ right to assert or rely upon any such provision or right in that or any other instance. The express waiver by Voys of any provision, condition or requirement of these Terms of Services or the Privacy Policy shall not constitute a waiver of any future obligation to comply with such provision, condition or requirement.
