GENERAL
Severance
Each of the paragraphs of these Terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful or unenforceable, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.
Waiver
If we do not enforce our rights against you, or if we delay in doing so, that will not mean that we have waived our rights against you and will not mean that you do not have to comply with those obligations. If we do waive a default by you, we will only do so in writing, and that will not mean that we will automatically waive any later default by you.
Jurisdiction
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of England and Wales. Any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with these Terms will be governed by English law. However, this does not affect the application of any provisions under the law of the EU state in which you reside which are mandatory.
