24. Miscellaneous.

If any provision(s) is found to be contrary to law, then such provision(s) will be construed, as nearly as possible, to reflect the intentions of the parties with the other provisions remaining in full force and effect. NodeRabbit’s failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision unless agreed to by NodeRabbit in a writing signed by a duly authorized representative of NodeRabbit. NodeRabbit reserves the right to modify these Terms of Use, and related Acceptable Use Policy at any time by providing such revised terms to you. Your continued use of the Software or Services shall constitute your acceptance to be bound by any such revised terms and conditions.
25. Entire Agreement.
The Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between NodeRabbit and you with respect to the Software and Services and supersedes all other (prior or contemporaneous) communications and proposals, whether electronic, oral, or non-electronic, between NodeRabbit and you regarding them.

"I went through different platforms. I looked at a lot of different systems. Some of the platforms would take far too long to load up. Others were really fast but lacking in features. The Virtual Labs Platform from Appsembler hit the balance of being flexible, fast and frankly affordable."

Kimball Johnson
Senior Curriculum Developer"The software sandboxes provide the structured hands-on experience with our open source software that we expect will drive adoption."

Dawn Leamon
Director of Training & Documentation"The biggest advantage of using Virtual Labs has been our ability to isolate learning for our audience. We can preconfigure each environment to keep them focused on learning objectives — not all of the other stuff."
