The Agreement represents the entire Agreement between Customer and Cargill with respect to matters covered herein and supersedes all previous proposals and/or agreements, whether written or oral.

8.6. Assignment. Customer shall not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights, or delegate or otherwise transfer any of its obligations or performance, under the Agreement, in each case whether voluntarily, involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, without Cargill’ prior written consent, which consent Cargill may give or withhold in its sole discretion.

The Agreement is binding upon and inures to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns.

Broken or faulty dongles will be replaced for the cost of the replacement dongle, postage and packing.
