A failure to enforce a provision does not waive Ravencrest’s right to enforce that provision later.
Ravencrest may revise these Terms and Conditions periodically. Revised terms become effective when posted unless otherwise stated.
Continued use of the website after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised website terms. Separate signed contracts may only be modified as provided in those contracts.
