Licensee may only amend this EULA in a writing signed by both parties.
If any provision in this EULA is found illegal or unenforceable by a court having jurisdiction, such provision shall be modified to the extent necessary to render it enforceable without losing its intent, or severed from this EULA if no such modification is possible, and the remainder of this EULA shall remain in full force and effect.
