Nothing in this Agreement shall operate or be construed to exclude or limit any liability of any person for fraud, including fraudulent misrepresentation.
  2. Neither party may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer this Agreement or any of its rights, remedies or obligations under this Agreement (including by forward or reverse merger, consolidation, dissolution or operation of Law, and whether voluntarily or by a Governmental Authority’s action or order) without the other parties’ prior written consent, which may not be unreasonably withheld, except that a party may assign, delegate, or transfer this Agreement and any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the other’s consent to (a) an affiliate or (b) an acquirer of all or a majority of Subscriber’s equity interests, assets, or business to which this Agreement relates (including by a merger, consolidation, or operation of Law). Any purported assignment, delegation or other transfer in contravention of this Section is void. The parties acknowledge that their assignment, delegation or other transfer of this Agreement will not relieve them of their obligations under this Agreement. This Agreement binds and inures to the benefit of the Parties and their respective permitted assignees and successors.
  3. If a Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction holds any provision of this Agreement to be unenforceable, then that provision is to be construed either by modifying it to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable (if permitted by Law) or disregarding it (if not). If an unenforceable provision is modified or disregarded in accordance with this Section, all other provisions of this Agreement are to remain in effect as written, except that this entire Agreement will be unenforceable if modifying or disregarding the unenforceable provision affects the economic and legal substance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in a manner materially adverse to either Party.
  4. All notices, requests, claims and other communications between the Parties described in or otherwise regarding this Agreement must be in writing and be given or made (and will be effective on receipt) by delivery in person, by nationally recognised overnight courier service (with signature required and all fees prepaid), by facsimile (with confirmation of transmission), or by registered or certified mail (postage prepaid, return receipt requested) to a Party at its address on the first page or at any other address of which that Party has notified the other Party in accordance with this Section.
  5. Third-Party Beneficiaries. A person who is not a party to this Agreement has no right under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce or to enjoy the benefit of any term of this Agreement.
  6. No Waiver. A Party’s failure to enforce any provisions of or rights deriving from this Agreement does not waive those provisions or rights, or that Party’s right to enforce those provisions or rights. Except to the extent stated otherwise in this Agreement, each Party’s rights and remedies under this Agreement are cumulative and are in addition to any other rights and remedies available at Law or in equity.
