If any provision of this Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable pursuant to applicable law or a court order, including but not limited to, the warranty disclaimers and the liability limitations set forth above, then the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed superseded by a valid, enforceable provision that most clearly matches the intent of the original provision and the remainder of this Agreement shall continue to have effect.

20.  OTHER TERMS AND CONDITIONS. Additional notices, terms, and conditions may apply to access to or use of NuVasive’s products and services.
