  6. This License and other legal notices published by Razer at www.osvr.com from time to time shall constitute the entire agreement between You and Razer concerning the MDK. If any of the provisions of this License shall be deemed invalid, void, or for any reason unenforceable, that provision shall be deemed severable and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any of the remaining provisions of this License, which shall continue in full force and effect. No waiver shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver, and Razer’s failure to assert any right under this License shall not constitute a waiver of such right. You agree that any cause of action arising out of or relating to the MDK must commence within one (1) year after the cause of action arises, and otherwise is permanently barred. You may not assign or transfer this License, but Razer may assign this License without restriction.
