  1. Any notice or other communication given to a party under or in connection with the Contract shall be in writing, addressed to that party at its registered oﬃce (if it is a company) or its principal place of business (in any other case) or such other address as that party may have speciﬁed to the other party in writing in accordance with this clause, and shall be delivered personally, sent by pre-paid ﬁrst class post or other next working day delivery service, commercial courier, fax or e-mail.

3. Severance.
  1. If any provision or part-provision of the Contract is or becomes invalid, illegal or unenforceable, it shall be deemed modiﬁed to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid, legal and enforceable. If such modiﬁcation is not possible, the relevant provision or part-provision shall be deemed deleted. Any modiﬁcation to or deletion of a provision or part-provision under this clause shall not aﬀect the validity and enforceability of the rest of the Contract.
  2. If one party gives notice to the other of the possibility that any provision or part-provision of this Contract is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to amend such provision so that, as amended, it is legal, valid and enforceable, and, to the greatest extent possible, achieves the intended commercial result of the original provision.
4. Waiver. A waiver of any right under the Contract or law is only eﬀective if it is in writing and shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach or default. No failure or delay by a party in exercising any right or remedy provided under the Contract or by law shall constitute a waiver of that or any other right or remedy, nor shall it prevent or restrict its further exercise of that or any other right or remedy. No single or partial exercise of such right or remedy shall prevent or restrict the further exercise of that or any other right or remedy.

  including the introduction of any additional terms and conditions, shall be eﬀective unless it is agreed in writing and signed by both parties.
