17. FORCE MAJEURE

1. Neither Party will be liable to the other for any breach of this Agreement (other than a failure to pay charges) which arises because of any circumstances which the defaulting party cannot reasonably be expected to control (which shall include interruption or failure of the Internet or of any network, telecommunications, power supply or infrastructure, or any provider of any of the foregoing but, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include shortage or lack of available funds), provided that the defaulting party: (a) notifies the other in writing as soon as reasonably practicable about the nature and extent of the circumstances and likely breach; (b) uses reasonable efforts to mitigate the effects of the circumstances and breach so as to minimise or avoid the breach; (c) uses reasonable efforts to resume performance as soon as reasonably practicable; and (d) could not have avoided the breach by taking steps that it ought reasonably to have taken in light of the matters known to it before the circumstances arose.

18. GENERAL PROVISIONS

1. You are not allowed to sub-license or assign, sub-contract or delegate any or all of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without our prior written consent.

2. All notices and consents relating to this Agreement (but excluding any proceedings or other documents in any legal action) must be in writing and can be provided by email.

3. Unless the parties expressly agree otherwise in writing, if a party: (a) fails to exercise or delays exercising or only exercises partially any right or remedy provided under this Agreement or by law; or (b) agrees not to exercise or to delay exercising any right or remedy provided under this Agreement or by law; then that party shall not be deemed to have waived and shall not be precluded or restricted from further exercising that or any other right or remedy.

4. If any provision of this Agreement is held for any reason to be ineffective or unenforceable, this shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement or this Agreement as a whole. If any provision of this Agreement is so found to be ineffective or unenforceable but would be effective or enforceable if some part of the provision were deleted, the provision in question shall apply with such modification(s) as may be necessary to make it effective and enforceable.

5. All variations to this Agreement must be agreed, set out in writing and signed on behalf of both parties before they take effect.

6. Except to the extent that this Agreement expressly provides otherwise, nothing in this Agreement shall or is intended to create a partnership or joint venture between the Parties, constitute one party as agent of the other or give either party authority to make or enter into commitments, assume liabilities or pledge credit on behalf of the other party. Neither Party may act as if it were, or represent (expressly or by implying it) that it is, an agent of the other or has such authority.

7. A person who is not a party to this Agreement shall not have any rights under or in connection with it, whether under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 or otherwise. No third party’s consent shall be required to rescind or vary this Agreement.

8. This Agreement sets out all of the terms that have been agreed between the parties in relation to the subjects covered by it, and supersedes all previous Agreements between the Parties relating to such subjects. Provided always that nothing in this Clause 13.8 will operate to limit or exclude any liability for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, no other representations or terms shall apply or form part of this Agreement and each Party acknowledges that it has not been influenced to enter this Agreement by, and shall have no rights or remedies (other than for breach of contract) in respect of, anything the other Party has said or done or committed to do, except as expressly recorded in this Agreement.

9. This Agreement is governed by English law. Both Parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts in relation to any dispute arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or its subject matter, but we are also entitled to apply to any court worldwide for injunctive or other remedies in order to protect or enforce its intellectual property rights.
