GENERAL:

These Terms, along with additional terms to which you agree when using particular elements of the App and its Features, constitute the entire and exclusive agreement between you and NPCI with respect to the subject matter hereof, superseding any prior agreements or negotiations between you and NPCI regarding such subject matter.

The failure of NPCI to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of these Terms is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, you nevertheless agree that the court should endeavour to give effect to the intentions of NPCI and you as reflected in the provision and that the remaining provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect. The clause titles in these Terms are for convenience only and do not have any legal or contractual effect. These Terms shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any termination of your use of the App and/or its Features.
