  6. A waiver by NBOA of any breach of this Agreement is not a waiver of any additional breach or waiver of the performance of Renter’s obligations under this Agreement. Our acceptance of payment from you or our failure, refusal or neglect to exercise any of our rights under this Agreement does not constitute a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement.  Renter shall release NBOA from any liability of consequential, special or punitive damages in connection with this rental or the reservation of a vehicle.  If the Trailer is inoperable for more than 24 hours, our liability to you is limited to the daily rental rate times the number of days the Trailer is inoperable.  If any provision of this Agreement is deemed void or unenforceable, the remaining provisions are valid and enforceable.
