We retain for our own benefit the portion of the total Mining Hardware not allocated through Mining Contracts.
- 2.4. Mining Product. The Mining Hardware will mine Cryptocurrency by utilizing Hashing Power. The Cryptocurrency produced by the Mining Hardware (hereinafter referred to as “the Product”) will be centrally collected by us, and we will distribute a portion of the Product to the Users (“Customer Portion”) based upon the Mining Contract Capacity allocated under valid Mining Contracts held by Users during the period of effectiveness of your Mining Contract (the “Term”), with such distributions may be subject to Maintenance or other Fees according to the terms of a chosen tariff plan.

- 17.7. Waiver. If we fail to insist that you perform any of your obligations under this Agreement, or if we do not enforce our rights against you, or if we delay in doing so, that will not mean that we have waived our rights against you and will not mean that you do not have to comply with those obligations. If we do waive a default by you, we will only do so in writing, and that will not mean that we will automatically waive any later default by you.
