Legal Rights & Agreement Rules · Context
Terms are the entire agreement; no partnership; non-enforcement is no waiver; invalid parts are severed
You agree that no joint venture, partnership, joint controllership, employment or agency relationship exists between you and Strava because of the Terms or your use of the Services. The Terms are the entire agreement between you and Strava about your use of the Services. Strava's failure to exercise or enforce a right or provision is not a waiver of it. If a court of competent jurisdiction finds a provision invalid, the parties agree the court should try to give effect to their intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions remain in full force. Section titles and headings are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. Any rights not expressly granted are reserved.
