Notice will be deemed to be received and properly served when you first view our website after the notice has been posted there; 24 hours after an email has been sent to you; or three days after the date of posting a letter. In proving the service of any notice, it will be sufficient to prove, in the case of a letter, that such a letter was properly addressed, stamped and placed in the post and, in the case of an email, that such an email was sent to the specified email address of the addressee.
  • If any provision of these terms is declared invalid, unlawful or unenforceable to any extent by any court or competent authority, these terms shall be read as if that provision had been omitted and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect to the fullest extent permitted by law.
  • Failure by us to enforce a right or any provision of these terms, or to insist upon strict performance of any of your obligations under any contract between you and us, or to exercise any of the rights or remedies to which we are entitled under any such contract, will not constitute a waiver of such rights or remedies and will not preclude us from enforcing either that provision or any similar provision on a later occasion. A waiver by us of any default will not constitute a waiver of any subsequent default.  No waiver by us of any of these terms will be effective unless it is expressly stated to be a waiver and is communicated to you in writing in accordance with these terms.
  • Any contract between you and us is binding on you and us and on our respective successors and assignees.
  • You may not assign, transfer, charge or otherwise dispose of your rights under these terms and any contract between you and us without our prior written consent.

We will have an extension of time for performance while the force majeure event continues and for a reasonable period afterwards. We will use our reasonable endeavours to bring the force majeure event to a close or to find a solution by which our obligations under the contract may be performed despite the force majeure event.
