contact us tools, email, and other communications functionality. Except to the extent of the rights and license

  ideas or materials for products or services, or even suggested improvements to products or services, including,
  without limitation, ideas, concepts, inventions, or designs for music, websites, apps, books, scripts,
  screenplays, motion pictures, television shows, theatrical productions, software or otherwise (collectively,
  “Unsolicited Ideas and Materials”). Any Unsolicited Ideas and Materials you submit are deemed UGC and licensed
  to us as set forth below. In addition, BNED retains all of the rights held by members of the general public with
  regard to your Unsolicited Ideas and Materials. BNED’s receipt of your Unsolicited Ideas and Materials is not an
  admission by BNED of their novelty, priority, or originality, and it does not impair BNED ’s right to contest
  existing or future Intellectual Property rights relating to your Unsolicited Ideas and Materials.
3. License to BNED of Your UGC. Except as otherwise described in any
  applicable Additional Terms (such as a promotion’s official rules), which specifically govern the submission
  of your UGC, or in our Privacy Policy, you
  hereby grant BNED the non-exclusive, unrestricted, unconditional, unlimited, worldwide, irrevocable,
  perpetual, and cost-free right and license to use, copy, record, distribute, reproduce, disclose, sell,
  re-sell, sublicense (through multiple levels), display, publicly perform, transmit, publish, broadcast,
  translate, make derivative works of, and otherwise use and exploit in any manner whatsoever, all or any
  portion of your UGC (and derivative works thereof), for any purpose whatsoever in all formats, on or through
  any means or medium now known or hereafter developed, and with any technology or devices now known or
  hereafter developed, and to advertise, market, and promote the same. Without limitation, the granted rights
  include the right to: (A) configure, host, index, cache, archive, store, digitize, compress, optimize, modify,
  reformat, edit, adapt, publish in searchable format, and remove such UGC and combine same with other
  materials, and (B) use any ideas, concepts, know-how, or techniques contained in any UGC for any purposes
  whatsoever, including developing, producing, and marketing products and/or services. You understand that in
  exercising such rights, metadata, notices and content may be removed or altered, including copyright
  management information, and you consent thereto and represent and warrant you have all necessary authority to
  do so. In order to further effect the rights and license that you grant to BNED to your UGC, you also, as
  permitted by applicable law, hereby grant to BNED, and agree to grant to BNED, the unconditional, perpetual,
  irrevocable right to use and exploit your name, persona, and likeness in connection with any UGC, without any
  obligation or remuneration to you. Except as prohibited by law, you hereby waive, and you agree to waive, any
  moral rights (including attribution and integrity) that you may have in any UGC, even if it is altered or
  changed in a manner not agreeable to you. To the extent not waivable, you irrevocably agree not to exercise
  such rights (if any) in a manner that interferes with any exercise of the granted rights. You understand that
  you will not receive any fees, sums, consideration, or remuneration for any of the rights granted in this
  section.
4. BNED may, but will not have any obligation to, review, monitor,
  display, post, store, maintain, accept, or otherwise make use of, any of your UGC, and BNED may, in its sole
  discretion, reject, delete, move, re-format, remove or refuse to post or otherwise make use of UGC without
  notice or any liability to you or any third-party in connection with our operation of UGC venues in an
  appropriate manner, such as to enhance accessibility of UGC, address copyright infringement, and protect Users
  from harmful UGC. Without limitation, we may, but do not commit to, do so to address content that comes to our
  attention that we believe is offensive, obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, violent, harassing, threatening,
  abusive, illegal or otherwise objectionable or inappropriate, or to enforce the rights of third parties or
  these Terms of Use or any applicable Additional Terms. Such UGC submitted by you or others need not be
  maintained on the Services by us for any period of time, and you will not have the right, once submitted, to
  access, archive, maintain, change, remove, or otherwise use such UGC on the Services or elsewhere, except that
  California minors have certain rights to have certain content about them that they have themselves posted on
  the Services prospectively removed from public display as provided for in the Privacy Policy.
5. Each time you submit any UGC, you represent and warrant that you are at least the age of
  majority in the jurisdiction in which you reside, or are the parent or legal guardian, or have all proper
  consents from the parent or legal guardian, of any minor who is depicted in or contributed to any UGC you
  submit, and that, as to that UGC: (A) you are the sole author and owner of the Intellectual Property and other
  rights to the UGC, or you have a lawful right to submit the UGC and grant BNED the rights to it that you are
  granting by these Terms of Use and any applicable Additional Terms, all without any Bartleby obligation to
  obtain consent of any third-party and without creating any obligation or liability of Bartleby; (B) the UGC is
  accurate; (C) the UGC does not and, as to BNED’s permitted uses and exploitation set forth in these Terms of
  Use, will not infringe any Intellectual Property or other right of any third-party; and (D) the UGC will not
  violate these Terms of User or any applicable Additional Terms, or cause injury or harm to any person.
6. Any UGC (including chat messages, links, video, photo, audio or other media content) that you
  submit in connection with Bartleby Tutor may be made publicly available through BNED’s library of searchable
  content. Such UGC may be accessible by anyone, including BNED. We encourage you to not include any personally
  identifiable information in any UGC you submit to BNED, the tutors, or any other third parties in relation to
  the Bartleby Tutor, and to exercise caution when making decisions about what you disclose when using our
  Services in general.

following:

  the laws applicable to you or applicable in the country in which the material is posted. We reserve the right,
  in our sole discretion, to reject, refuse to post or remove any posting or other UGC (including private

  threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, sexually explicit, profane, hateful, racially,
  ethnically or otherwise objectionable material of any kind, material that encourages conduct that would
  constitute a criminal offense, gives rise to civil liability or otherwise violates any applicable law, please
  contact us. Notwithstanding the foregoing and to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we assume no
  responsibility for ongoing monitoring of the Interactive Community or for removal or editing of any UGC, even
  after receiving notice. We assume no liability for any action or inaction with respect to conduct, communication
  or UGC within the Interactive Community. You are solely responsible for all activities that occur within the
  Interactive Community. The Interactive Community is not designed for use by individuals under the age of 18
  years (“Minors”). No children under the age of 16 are permitted to register or create user profiles, and
  individuals aged between 16 and 18 must participate in the Interactive Community only under the supervision of a
  parent or legal guardian. Numerous informational and commercial resources (such as computer hardware, software
  or filtering services) are available to help parents keep their children safe online. If you are interested in
  learning more about these resources, information is available at many sites providing information on such
  protections. We do not specifically sponsor or endorse any of these sites or their services.
6. Interactive Community users may upload to or otherwise submit to us for distribution on the
  Interactive Community and the Services: (A) UGC that is not subject to any copyright or other proprietary rights
  restrictions; or (B) UGC that the owner or licensor of any relevant rights has given express authorization for
  us to distribute over the Internet. You may not upload, embed, post, e-mail, transmit or otherwise make
  available any material that infringes any copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret or other proprietary rights
  of any person or entity. Any copyrighted or other proprietary UGC distributed with the consent of a copyright
  owner should contain a phrase such as “Copyright, owned by [name of owner]; used by permission”. We are entitled
  to presume that all UGC conforms to the foregoing requirements. The unauthorized submission of copyrighted or
  other proprietary UGC is illegal and could subject the user to personal liability for damages in a civil suit as
  well as criminal prosecution. Interactive Community users assume all liability for any damage resulting from any
  infringement of copyright or proprietary rights, or for any other harm arising from an unauthorized submission
  or submission of UGC. We assume no liability for any damage resulting from any infringement of copyright or
  proprietary rights, or from any other harm arising from any UGC.

services via your wireless Device. Features and services may include the ability to access the Services’
features, upload content to the Services, receive messages from the Services, and download applications to your
wireless Device (collectively, “Wireless Features”). You agree to receive communications we may send through
Wireless Features for which you are registered. Further, we may collect information related to your use of the

Contact your carrier with questions regarding these issues.
Text and Email Messages.
1. You may be given opportunities to subscribe to various text marketing or other text messaging
  programs and by doing so, you consent to receive ongoing text alerts (including by auto-dialers) from us related
  to our various businesses and affiliates, which may include co-promotions with or about other parties, except
  that if the scope of your consent for a particular subscription is limited, that subscription will be so
  limited. Such consent is not required to purchase any product or Services aside from the text subscription
  itself. Subsequent or different subscriptions will be unaffected by an opt-out. You consent to receive a text

Bluetooth and other networks may still be tracked when location services are turned off on Device settings.
You can terminate Device location tracking via a mobile app by us by uninstalling the application. Territory

feature(s) are for individual use only and should not be used or relied on in any situation in which the
failure or inaccuracy of use of the location-based services could lead directly to death, personal injury, or
physical or property damage. Use location-based services at your own risk as location data may not be
accurate.

5. Notice and Take Down Procedure for Claims of Infringement.

DMCA Notification. If you are a copyright owner who would like to
send us a notice pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) to identify content or material
posted on the Services that is infringing and that you would like removed from our Services, or if you are a
user whose work has been removed in response to such a notice of infringement and would like to file a DMCA
counter-notice, you may submit such notice to us by following the instructions in this Section 5.
DMCA Requirements. We are committed to complying with
U.S. copyright and related Intellectual Property laws. Our policy is to respond to notices of alleged
infringement that comply with the DMCA. It is our policy to remove and discontinue service to repeat offenders.
If you believe your copyrighted work has been copied and is accessible on the Services in a way that constitutes
copyright infringement, you may notify us by providing our copyright agent with the following information in
accordance with the requirements of the DMCA:
1. The electronic or physical signature of the owner of the copyright or the person authorized
  to act on the owner’s behalf.
2. A description of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed and a description of
  the infringing activity.
3. Identification of the location where the original or an authorized copy of the copyrighted
  work exists (for example, the URL of the website where it is posted or the name of the book in which it has been
  published).
4. Identification of the URL or other specific location on the Services where the material you
  claim is infringing is located, providing enough information to allow us to locate the material.
5. Your name, address, telephone number, and email address so that we may contact you.
6. A statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized
  by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
7. A statement by you, made under penalty of perjury, that the above information in your notice
  is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on the copyright owner’s behalf.
8. Our agent for notice of claims of copyright infringement on the Services can be reached as
  follows:
  
  By mail:
  
  Barnes & Noble Education, Inc.
  120 Mountainview Blvd.
  Basking Ridge, NJ 07920
  Attn: Legal Department
  
  By email: BNEDDMCA@bned.com
  
  The email address above is only for reporting copyright infringement and may not be used for any
  other purpose.
9. If you believe an individual is a repeat infringer, please follow the instructions
  above to contact our DMCA agent and provide information sufficient for us to verify the individual is a repeat
  infringer.
10. It is often difficult to determine if your copyright has been infringed. BNED may
  elect to not respond to DMCA notices that do not substantially comply with all of the foregoing requirements,
  and Bartleby may elect to remove allegedly infringing material that comes to its attention via notices that do
  not substantially comply with the DMCA.
DMCA Counter-Notification. If access on the Services to a
work that you submitted to BNED is disabled or the work is removed as a result of a DMCA copyright
infringement notice, and you believe in good faith that the allegedly infringing works have been removed or
blocked by mistake or misidentification, then you may send a “Counter-Notification” to the email address
listed above. Your DMCA Counter-Notification should contain the following information:
1. a legend or subject line that says: “DMCA Counter-Notification”;
2. a description of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and
  the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled (please include
  the full URL of the page(s) on the Services from which the material was removed or access to it disabled);
3. a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material was
  removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled;
4. your full name, address, telephone number, email address, and the username of your account
  with us (if any);
5. a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the
  judicial district in which your address is located (or, if the address is located outside the U.S.A., to the
  jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York), and that you will
  accept service of process from the person who provided DMCA notification to us or an agent of such person; and
6. your electronic or physical signature.
Receipt of DMCA Counter-Notification. If we receive a
DMCA Counter-Notification, then we may replace the material that we removed (or stop disabling access to it) in
not less than ten (10) and not more than fourteen (14) business days following receipt of the DMCA
Counter-Notification. However, we will not do this if we first receive notice at the address above that the
party who sent us the DMCA copyright infringement notice has filed a lawsuit asking a court for an order
restraining the person who provided the material from engaging in infringing activity relating to the material
on the Services. Upon our receipt of a Counter-Notification that satisfies the requirements of DMCA, we will
provide a copy of the counter notification to the person who sent the original notification of claimed
infringement and will follow the DMCA’s procedures regarding counter notification. All Counter-Notifications
must satisfy the requirements of Section 512(g)(3) of the U.S. Copyright Act. In all events, you expressly agree
that neither BNED nor any of its affiliates or their employees, officers, directors, or agents will be a party
to any disputes or lawsuits regarding alleged copyright infringement. Please note you may be held liable for
money damages if you materially misrepresent an activity is infringing your copyrights.

do not warrant that such specifications, pricing, or other content on the Services is complete, accurate,
reliable, current, or error-free. As permitted by applicable law, BNED shall have the right to refuse or cancel

reject or cancel subject to refund. If we charged your credit or other account prior to rejection or cancellation,
we will reissue credit to your account. Additional Terms may apply. If a product you purchased or accepted from
BNED is not as described, as permitted by applicable law, your sole remedy is to return it, to cancel the purchase
and receive a credit for the purchase price.

7. Termination or Suspension.

Termination by Us. We may, upon notice to you, issue a warning,
temporarily suspend, indefinitely suspend, or terminate your account or your access to all or any part of the
Services for any reason in our sole discretion. In certain cases, in our sole discretion, we may provide you
with a written notice (a “Restriction Notice”) to inform you: (i) your right to use or access any part of the
Services has been terminated, including the right to use, access or create any account thereon; (ii) we refuse

affect your obligations to BNED under these Terms of Use or any applicable Additional Terms. Upon suspension or
termination of your access to the Services, or upon notice from BNED, all rights granted to you under these
Terms of Use or any applicable Additional Terms will cease immediately, and you agree that you will immediately

9. Arbitration and Dispute Terms.

Forum Selection/Jurisdiction. Jurisdiction and venue for any controversy, allegation, or
claim arising out of or relating to the Services, the Content, your UGC, these Terms of Use, or any applicable
Additional Terms, (collectively, “Dispute”) shall be in New York, New York. Each party submits to personal
jurisdiction and venue in New York, New York for any and all purposes.
Pre-Arbitration Notification. BNED and you agree that it would be advantageous to
discuss and hopefully resolve any Disputes before formal proceedings are initiated; provided, however, that
BNED need not do so in circumstances where its claims of Intellectual Property rights are concerned (“IP
Disputes,” with all other disputes referred to as “General Disputes”). The party making a claim –
whether you or BNED – shall send a letter to the other side briefly summarizing the claim and the
request for relief. If BNED is making a claim, the letter shall be sent, via email, to the email address
listed in your BNED account, as applicable. If no such information exists or if such information is not
current, then we have no notification or delay obligations under this Section 9(b). If you are making a claim,
the letter shall be sent to: Barnes & Noble Education, 120 Mountain View Blvd., Basking Ridge, NJ 07920,
Attn: Legal Department. If the Dispute is not resolved within sixty (60) days after notification, the claimant
may proceed to initiate proceedings as set forth in this Section 9. Either you or BNED, however, may seek
provisional remedies (such as preliminary injunctive relief) subject to Section 9(d) before the expiration of
this sixty (60)-day period.
Arbitration of Claims. Unless you give us notice of
opt-out within five (5) business days of your first use of the Services, addressed to: Barnes & Noble
Education, 120 Mountain View Blvd., Basking Ridge, NJ 07920, Attn: Legal Department, all actions or
proceedings arising in connection with, touching upon or relating to any Dispute, or the scope of the
provisions of this Section 9, shall be submitted to JAMS (www.jamsadr.com) for final and binding arbitration
under its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures if the matter in dispute is over $250,000 or under
its Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures if the matter in dispute is $250,000 or less, to be held in
New York, New York, before a single arbitrator. If the matter in dispute is between BNED and a consumer, the
matter shall be submitted to JAMS in accordance with its Policy on Consumer Arbitration Pursuant to
Pre-Dispute Clauses Minimum Standards of Procedural Fairness. The arbitrator shall be selected by mutual
agreement of the parties or, if the parties cannot agree, then by striking from a list of arbitrators supplied
by JAMS. We may have the right to pay the JAMS fees if required for arbitration to be enforceable. The
arbitration shall be a confidential proceeding, closed to the general public; provided, however, that a party
may disclose information relating to the arbitration proceedings to its and its affiliates’ lawyers, insurance
providers, auditors and other professional advisers. The fact that there is a dispute between the parties that
is the subject of arbitration shall be confidential to the same extent. The arbitrator shall issue a written
opinion stating the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator’s award is based. Neither
party shall be entitled or permitted to commence or maintain any action in a court of law with respect to any
matter in dispute until such matter shall have been submitted to arbitration as herein provided and then only
for the enforcement of the arbitrator’s award; provided, however, that prior to the appointment of the
arbitrator or for remedies beyond the jurisdiction of an arbitrator, at any time, either party may seek
pendente lite relief (subject to the provisions of these Terms of Use waiving or limiting that relief) in a
court of competent jurisdiction in New York, New York or, if sought by BNED, such other court that may have
jurisdiction over you, without thereby waiving its right to arbitration of the dispute or controversy under
this Section 9; provided further, however, that the losing party shall have fifteen (15) business days after
the issuance of the arbitrator’s decision to fully comply with such decision, after which the prevailing party
may enforce such decision by a petition to the Supreme Court, Civil Branch, New York County or, in the case of
you, such other court having jurisdiction over you, which may be made ex
parte, for confirmation and enforcement of the award. To the extent there are any
challenges to the arbitrability of a claim, the arbitrator shall determine any and all such challenges.
Limitation on Injunctive Relief. AS PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE
LAW, IF YOU CLAIM THAT YOU HAVE INCURRED ANY LOSS, DAMAGES, OR INJURIES IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF THE
SERVICES, THEN THE LOSSES, DAMAGES, AND INJURIES WILL NOT BE DEEMED IRREPARABLE OR SUFFICIENT TO ENTITLE YOU
TO AN INJUNCTION OR TO OTHER EQUITABLE RELIEF OF ANY KIND. THIS MEANS (WITHOUT LIMITATION) THAT, IN CONNECTION
WITH YOUR CLAIM, YOU AGREE THAT YOU WILL NOT SEEK, AND THAT YOU WILL NOT BE PERMITTED TO OBTAIN, ANY COURT OR
OTHER ACTION THAT MAY INTERFERE WITH OR PREVENT THE DEVELOPMENT OR EXPLOITATION OF THE
SERVICES, CONTENT, UGC, PRODUCT, OR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY OWNED, LICENSED, USED, OR CONTROLLED BY ANY BNED
PARTY (INCLUDING YOUR LICENSED UGC) OR A LICENSOR OF ANY BARTLEBY
PARTY.
Governing Law. These Terms of Use and any applicable Additional Terms, General Disputes
and IP
Disputes, and any other claim brought by you against the BNED Parties or by BNED against you pursuant to this
Section 9, or otherwise related to the Services, Content, Licensed Elements, UGC, products or BNED
Intellectual Property, will be governed by, construed, and resolved in accordance with, the laws of the State
of New York, U.S.A., without regard to its conflicts of law provisions that might apply the laws of another
jurisdiction. This Section 9 shall be governed solely by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §1, et seq.,
and not by the law of any state, and is enforceable pursuant to its terms on a self-executing basis. You and
BNED agree that we intend that this Section 9 satisfies the “writing” requirement of the Federal Arbitration
Act. This Section 9 can only be amended by mutual agreement. Either party may seek enforcement of this Section
9 in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Class Action Waiver. As permitted by applicable law, both you and BNED waive the
right to bring any Dispute as a class, consolidated, representative, collective, or private attorney general
action, or to participate in a class, consolidated, representative, collective, or private attorney general
action regarding any Dispute brought by anyone else. Notwithstanding any provision in the JAMS Comprehensive
Arbitration Rules and Procedures to the contrary, the arbitrator shall not have the authority or any
jurisdiction to hear the arbitration as a class, consolidated, representative, or private attorney general
action or to consolidate, join, or otherwise combine the Disputes of different persons into one proceeding.
Notwithstanding the arbitration provision set forth above, if the provision regarding waiver of class,
collective, representative, and private attorney general claims of this Section 9 is found to be void or
otherwise unenforceable, any such class, collective, representative, or private attorney general claims must
be heard and determined through an appropriate court proceeding, and not in arbitration.
Jury Waiver. AS PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE
THEIR RIGHT TO JURY TRIAL WITH RESPECT TO ALL CLAIMS AND ISSUES ARISING UNDER, IN CONNECTION WITH, TOUCHING
UPON OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS, THE BREACH THEREOF AND/OR THE SCOPE OF THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION,
WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT OR TORT, AND INCLUDING ANY CLAIM FOR FRAUDULENT INDUCEMENT THEREOF.
Small Claims Matters. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, either of us may bring qualifying claim of General Dispute (but not IP Disputes) in small claims
court, subject to Section 9(f).
Survival. The
provisions of this Section 9 shall supersede any inconsistent provisions of any prior agreement between the
parties. This Section 9 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any termination of your use of the
Services or these Terms of Use.

10. General Provisions.

BNED’s Consent or Approval. As to any provision in these Terms of Use or any applicable
Additional Terms that grants BNED a right of consent or approval, or permits BNED to exercise a right in its
“sole discretion,” BNED may exercise that right in its sole and absolute discretion. No BNED consent or
approval may be deemed to have been granted by BNED without being in writing and signed by an officer of
BNED.
Indemnity. As permitted by applicable law, you agree to, and you hereby, defend (if requested by
BNED), indemnify, and hold the BNED Parties harmless from and against any and all claims, damages, losses,
costs, investigations, liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties, settlements, interest, and expenses
(including attorneys’ fees) that directly or indirectly arise from or are related to any claim, suit, action,
demand, or proceeding made or brought against any BNED Party, or on account of the investigation, defense, or

activities in connection with the Services; (iii) your breach or alleged breach of these Terms of Use or any
applicable Additional Terms; (iv) your violation or alleged violation of any laws, rules, regulations, codes,

any copyright, trademark, trade secret, trade dress, patent, publicity, privacy, or other right of any person
or entity; (vi) any misrepresentation made by you; and (vii) the BNED Parties’ use of the information that you
submit to us (including your UGC) subject to our Privacy Policy (all of the foregoing, “Claims and
Losses”). You will cooperate as fully required by the BNED Parties in the defense of any Claims and Losses.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the BNED Parties retain the exclusive right to settle, compromise, and pay any
and all Claims and Losses. The BNED Parties reserve the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of
any Claims and Losses. You will not settle any Claims and Losses without, in each instance, the prior written
consent of an officer of BNED. This section is not intended to limit any causes of action against us that you
may have but are not waivable under applicable law.

both foreign
and domestic. Except as authorized by U.S. law, you agree and warrant not to export or re-export the software
to any county, or to any person, entity, or end-user subject to U.S. export controls or sanctions.
Interpretation. Headings used in these Terms of Use are for reference only and shall not
affect the
meaning of any terms. “Including” means “including, without limitation.” The singular includes the plural and
vice versa. These Terms of Use, and the applicable Additional Terms, are binding upon each party and its
successors and permitted assigns.
Entire Agreement. Except for any Additional Terms that apply to your use of
the Services as we may notify or make available to you, this is the entire understanding between you and us
regarding the use of the Services, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings
between you and us regarding this subject matter.
Severability. The provisions of these Terms of Use are intended to be severable. If for any
reason any
provision of these Terms of Use is held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part in any applicable
jurisdiction, such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity
or unenforceability without in any manner affecting the validity or enforceability thereof in any other
jurisdiction or the remaining provisions hereof in that or any other jurisdiction.
Our Affiliates, Suppliers and Licensors. Our affiliates, suppliers, licensors and other BNED
Parties are intended third-party beneficiaries of these Terms of Use.
No Waiver. Our failure or delay to exercise or enforce any right,
remedy or provision of these Terms of Use or by law will not operate as a waiver of such or any other right,
remedy or provision.
