Neither Party is responsible for failing to fulfil its obligations (other than its payment obligations) under this Agreement due to causes beyond its reasonable control that directly or indirectly delay or prevent timely performance (“Force Majeure Event”). Any dates or times by which each Party is required to render performance under this Agreement shall be postponed automatically to the extent that the Party is delayed or prevented from meeting them by a Force Majeure Event.

17.6 Waiver. 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. 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.
17.7 Severance. If any provision or part-provision of this Agreement is or becomes invalid, illegal or unenforceable, it shall be deemed modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid, legal and enforceable.

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 this Agreement.

Each Party confirms it is acting on its own behalf and not for the benefit of any other person. The Parties acknowledge that the arrangements between them are non-exclusive. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit either of the Parties from conducting business activities with other third parties. Third party rights.
