The Service may have to be suspended from time to time to carry out maintenance and support work, or to protect the integrity of the Service or data.

If you do not agree to the new terms, you may terminate this Agreement (see the "Term and Termination" section above); otherwise your continued use of the service will be deemed to constitute your acceptance of the new terms. We will endeavour to give you at least 30 days notice of any material changes, unless we are required to make immediate changes for reasons outside our control. This Agreement may not otherwise be changed without our written consent.

29. Waiver and severability: No failure or delay by a party to exercise any right or remedy provided under this Agreement or by law shall constitute a waiver of that or any other right or remedy, nor shall it prevent or restrict the further exercise of that or any other right or remedy.

If any provision (or part of a provision) of this Agreement is found by any court or administrative body of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, the other provisions shall remain in force. If any invalid, unenforceable or illegal provision would be valid, enforceable or legal if some part of it were deleted, the provision shall apply with whatever modification is necessary to give effect to the commercial intention of the parties.
