The Parties are independent businesses and not partners, principal and agent, or employer and employee, or in any other relationship of trust to each other.
For the purposes of the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999, this Agreement is not intended to and does not give any person who is not a party to it any right to enforce any of its provisions. However, this does not affect any rights or remedy of such a person that exists or is available apart from that Act.
No Party may assign, subcontract or encumber any right or obligation under this Agreement, in whole or in part, without the other Party’s prior written consent or except as expressly permitted in this Agreement.
This Agreement, and any document referred to in it, contains the whole Agreement between the Parties relating to its subject matter and supersedes any prior Agreements, representations or understandings between them unless expressly referred to in this Agreement. Each Party acknowledges that it has not relied on, and will have no remedy in respect of, any representation (whether innocent or negligent) made but not covered in this Agreement. Nothing in this clause limits or excludes any liability for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.
No amendment or variation of this Agreement will be valid unless agreed in writing by an authorised signatory of each Party.
If any clause in this Agreement (or part of a clause) is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, but would be legal, valid and enforceable if the clause or some part of it was deleted or modified (or the duration of the relevant clause reduced), the relevant clause (or part of it) will apply with such deletion or modification as may be required to make it legal, valid and enforceable, and the Parties will promptly and in good faith seek to negotiate a replacement provision consistent with the original intent of this Agreement as soon as possible.
No delay, act or omission by either Party in exercising any right or remedy will be deemed a waiver of that, or any other, right or remedy.
Notices under this Agreement must be in writing and sent to the other Party’s address, as set out above in the Contract Details. Letters sent in the United Kingdom will be deemed delivered 3 business days (excluding English Bank Holidays), after sending. Emails will be deemed delivered the same day (or the next business day, if sent on a non-business day or after 5pm on any business day at the recipient’s location).
This Agreement is governed by the law of England and Wales. All disputes under this Agreement will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
