Any attempted or actual assignment by you, without our prior consent, shall be null and void. We may assign these Terms in their entirety, including all right, duties, liabilities and obligations therein, upon notice to you and without obtaining your further specific consent, to a third-party, upon a merger, acquisition, change of control or the sale of all or substantially all of our equity or assets, whereby virtue of such assignment, the assignee assumes in our stead, all right, duties, liabilities and obligations hereunder.
