15. NO WAIVER
The failure of either Party (You or Monnit) at any time to require performance by the other Party of any provision of this Agreement shall in no way affect the right of such Party to require performance of that provision. Any waiver by either Party of any breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of any continuing or succeeding breach of such provision, a waiver of the provision itself or a waiver of any right under this Agreement.

16. INJUNCTIVE RELIEF
Any violation by You of this Agreement shall give the Monnit the right to a court-ordered injunction or other appropriate order to specifically enforce those covenants.
