21. SEVERABILITY: Each of the terms of these Official Rules operates separately.  If any court of relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful or unenforceable, the remaining terms will remain in full force and effect.

22. NO WAIVER: If Sponsor fails to insist that entrant or a Winner perform any of its obligations under these Official Rules, or if Sponsor does not enforce its rights against entrant or a Winner, or if Sponsor delays in doing so, that will not mean that Sponsor has waived its rights against entrant and/or Winner and will not mean that entrant and/or a Winner, as applicable, does not have to comply with these obligations.  If Sponsor does waive a default by an entrant and/or a Winner, Sponsor will only do so in writing, and that will not mean that Sponsor will automatically waive any later default by an entrant and/or a Winner.
