13. Force Majeure : Events outside Our Control

13.1 We will not be liable or responsible for any failure to perform, or delay in performance of, any of Our obligations under a Contract that is caused by events outside Our reasonable control (Force Majeure).

13.2 Our performance under any Contract is deemed to be suspended for the period that the Force Majeure Event continues, and We will have an extension of time for performance for the duration of that period. 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.

14. Transfer of Rights and Obligations

The Contract between You and Us is binding on You and Us and on our respective successors and assignees. You may not transfer, assign, charge or otherwise dispose of a Contract, or any of Your rights or obligations arising under it, without Our prior written consent. We may transfer, assign, charge, sub-contract or otherwise dispose of a Contract, or any of Our rights or obligations arising under it, at any time during the term of the Contract.

15. Waiver

15.1 If We fail, at any time during the term of a Contract, to insist upon strict performance of any of Your obligations under the Contract or any of the Terms and Conditions, or if We fail to exercise any of the rights or remedies to which We are entitled under the Contract, this will not constitute a waiver of such rights or remedies and will not relieve You from compliance with such obligations.

15.2 A waiver by Us of any default will not constitute a waiver of any subsequent default.

15.3 No waiver by Us of any of the Terms and Conditions will be effective unless it is expressly stated to be a waiver and is communicated to You in writing in accordance with Clause 11 above.

16. Variation of Terms

16.1 We may at any time without notifying You make any changes to the Services or Items necessary to comply with any applicable statutory, legal or other requirements, or which do not materially affect the nature or quality of the Services or Items or which are necessary due to events or circumstances beyond Our reasonable control.

16.2 We have the right to revise and amend the Terms and Conditions from time to time. You will be subject to the Terms and Conditions in force at the time that You order from us, unless any change to the Terms and Conditions is required to be made by law or governmental authority (in which case it will apply to Orders previously placed by you), or if We notify You of the change to the Terms and Conditions before We send You the Order Confirmation, in which case We have the right to assume that You have accepted the change unless You notify Us to the contrary within seven working days of receipt by You of the Items or Services.

17. Survival

17.1 The following clauses shall continue to be in effect after the termination or expiration of the Contract: 1, 5, 6, 8, 9.4, and 10 to 18 inclusive.

18. General

The Contract shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of England. If an English Court judges any provision of the Contract to be invalid, void, or unenforceable, the parties agree that the remaining provisions of the Contract shall remain valid and enforceable. The Contract may not be changed, modified, amended, released or discharged except by the written agreement of the parties. A person who is not a party to the Contract has no rights under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce any term of the Contract except as explicitly provided by Clause 8.5 herein but this does not affect any right or remedy of a third-party that exists or is available apart from the Act. Neither party is responsible for failure to fulfil its obligations in the Contract due to causes beyond its reasonable control. The Contract constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall supersede all previous representations, agreements and other communications between the parties, both oral and written. The Contract shall prevail notwithstanding any variance with the terms and conditions of any purchase order submitted by You. Nothing in the Contract shall affect Your statutory rights if You are entering into the Contract as a consumer.
