Client may not unreasonably withhold consent to assignment where such consent is required by law.
17. General Provisions
17.1. Entire Agreement: These Terms, together with any SOW, Proposal, Order Form, Change Orders, and incorporated policies (e.g., Refund Policy, DPA), constitute the entire agreement between the parties and supersede all prior understandings. 17.2.
