The Terms are personal to you and may not be assigned or transferred for any reason whatsoever (including, without limitation, by operation of law, merger, reorganization, or as a result of an acquisition or change of control involving you) without BIM Holoview’s prior written consent and any action or conduct in violation of the foregoing shall be void and without effect. BIM Holoview expressly reserves and shall have the right to assign the Terms and to delegate any of its obligations hereunder.
