No one other than you and TWG, or the TWG’s successors and assigns, will have any right to enforce any of these Terms. Neither these Terms nor the Websites create partnership, joint venture, employment, or other agency relationships between Us. You may not enter into any contract on Our behalf or bind Us in any way.
