For the avoidance of doubt, only the English version of the Eligible User Terms & Conditions as published and made available by us is to be construed as the legally binding contract between Sonder and each of its Eligible Users.

14.5. Notwithstanding any other matter in the Eligible User Terms & Conditions, Sonder may issue notices in relation to matters relating to the Service by any means it deems appropriate, including via the Service, the Website or by sending you emails to the email address that is associated with your Account.

14.6. If any term or condition in the Eligible User Terms & Conditions is held to be illegal or unenforceable, in whole or in part, by a court or Government agency, such term or provision shall be severed and deemed not to form part of the Eligible User Terms & Conditions, but the validity of the remainder terms and provisions shall not be affected.

14.7. Sonder is not to be deemed to have waived any rights of enforcement, whether for past, future or continuing breaches, under the Eligible User Terms & Conditions unless such waiver is expressly documented in writing by Sonder (any waiver is only effective in the specific instance and for the purpose it is given).
