Relationship of Parties Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed or construed by the parties or any third party as creating the relationship of principal and agent, partnership or joint venture between the parties, it being understood and agreed that no provision contained herein, and no act of the parties, shall be deemed to create any relationship between the parties other than the relationship set forth herein.
Relationship of Parties; No Third Party Beneficiary (a) The relationship between Lender and Borrower will be solely that of creditor and debtor, respectively, and nothing contained in this Loan Agreement will create any other relationship between Lender and Borrower.

Relationship of the Parties Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to make one Party an agent of the other Party nor shall either party have any authority to bind the other in any respect, unless expressly authorized by the other party in writing. The Parties are independent contractors and nothing in this Agreement creates a relationship of employment, trust, agency or partnership between them.
