That means:
You and Ghakilo agree that if any portion of these Terms of Service or of the Ghakilo Privacy Policy is found illegal or unenforceable, in whole or in part by any court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective solely to the extent of such determination of invalidity or unenforceability without affecting the validity or enforceability thereof in any other manner or jurisdiction and without affecting the remaining provisions of the terms, which shall continue to be in full force and effect.
Ghakilo may assign or delegate these Terms of Service and/or the Ghakilo Privacy Policy, in whole or in part, to any person or entity at any time with or without your consent. You may not assign or delegate any rights or obligations under the Terms of Service or Privacy Policy without Ghakilo's prior written consent, and any unauthorized assignment and delegation by you is ineffective.
These Terms of Service, any supplemental policies and any documents expressly incorporated by reference herein (including the Ghakilo Privacy Policy), contain the entire understanding of you and Ghakilo, and supersede all prior understandings of the parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof, whether electronic, oral or written, or whether established by custom, practice, policy or precedent, between you and us with respect to the Service.
The failure of Ghakilo to require or enforce strict performance by you of any provision of these Terms of Service or the Ghakilo Privacy Policy or failure to exercise any right under them shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment of Ghakilo's right to assert or rely upon any such provision or right in that or any other instance.
The express waiver by Ghakilo of any provision, condition, or requirement of these Terms of Service or the Ghakilo Privacy Policy shall not constitute a waiver of any future obligation to comply with such provision, condition or requirement.
Except as expressly and specifically set forth in this these Terms of Service, no representations, statements, consents, waivers, or other acts or omissions by Ghakilo shall be deemed a modification of these Terms of Service nor legally binding, unless documented in physical writing, hand signed by You and a duly appointed officer of Ghakilo.

Any notices that you provide without compliance with this Section on Notices shall have no legal effect.
You acknowledge that the rights granted and obligations made under these Terms of Service to Ghakilo are of a unique and irreplaceable nature, the loss of which shall irreparably harm Ghakilo and which cannot be replaced by monetary damages alone so that Ghakilo shall be entitled to injunctive or other equitable relief (without the obligations of posting any bond or surety or proof of damages) in the event of any breach or anticipatory breach by you.
You irrevocably waive all rights to seek injunctive or other equitable relief, or to enjoin or restrain the operation of the Service or any Ghakilo game, exploitation of any advertising or other materials issued in connection therewith, or exploitation of the Service or any content or other material used or displayed through the Service and agree to limit your claims to claims for monetary damages, limited by Section 11 (if any).
