The failure or delay by either Party to require performance of any provision of this Contract shall in no way affect the right to require such performance at any time thereafter, nor shall the waiver by either Party of a breach of any provision of this Contract be taken or held to be a waiver of the provision itself, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy hereunder preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy provided by law.
