2. a refund of the Fees paid if, in the Company’s reasonable opinion, it is unable to rectify such non-conformance within a reasonable timescale or at an economic cost, whereupon this Agreement will terminate.

Neither party is liable to the other party in contract, tort, negligence, breach of statutory duty or otherwise for any loss, damage, costs or expenses of any nature whatsoever incurred or suffered by that other party of an indirect or consequential nature including any economic loss or other loss of turnover, profits, business or goodwill.

9. General

If any provision of this Agreement is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that this Agreement will otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable.

This Agreement is not assignable, transferable or sublicensable by the Customer except with the Company’s prior written consent. The Company may transfer and assign any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement without consent.

This Agreement is the complete and exclusive statement of the mutual understanding of the parties and supersedes and cancels all previous written and oral agreements, communications and other understandings relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, and that all waivers and modifications must be in writing signed by both parties, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement.
